In a series of posts on this blog, we have shown how practically everything our parents took for granted with regards to privacy has been completely eliminated for our children, just because they use digital tools instead of analog, and the people interpreting the laws are saying that privacy only applies to the old, analog environment of our parents.<\/p>\n

Once you agree with the observation that privacy seems to simply not apply<\/em> for our children, merely for living in a digitally-powered environment instead of our parents\u2019 analog-powered one, surprise turns to shock turns to anger, and it\u2019s easy to want to assign blame to someone for essentially erasing five generations\u2019 fight for civil liberties while people were looking the other way.<\/p>\n

So whose fault is it, then?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more than one actor at work here, but part of the blame must be assigned to the illusion that that nothing has changed, just because our digital children can use old-fashioned and obsolete technology to obtain the rights they should always have by law and constitution, regardless of which method<\/em> they use to talk to friends and exercise their privacy rights.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all heard these excuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou still have privacy of correspondence, just use the old analog letter\u201d. As if the Internet generation would.<\/em> You might as well tell our analog parents that they would need to send a wired telegram to enjoy some basic rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can still use a library freely.\u201d Well, only an analog one, not a digital one like The Pirate Bay, which differs from an analog library only in efficiency, and not in anything else<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can still discuss anything you like.\u201d Yes, but only in the analog streets and squares, not in the digital streets and squares.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can still date someone without the government knowing your dating preferences.\u201d Only if I prefer to date like our parents did, in the unsafe analog world, as opposed to the safe digital environment where predators vanish at the click of a \u201cblock\u201d button, an option our analog parents didn\u2019t have in shady bars.<\/p>\n

The laws aren\u2019t different for the analog and the digital. The law doesn\u2019t make a difference between analog and digital. But no law is above the people who interpret it in the courts, and the way people interpret those laws means the privacy rights always apply to the analog world, but never to the digital world.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not rocket science to demand the same laws to apply offline and online. This includes copyright law, as well as the fact that privacy of correspondence takes precedence<\/em> over copyright law (in other words, you\u2019re not allowed to open and examine private correspondence for infringements in the analog world, not without prior and individual warrants \u2014 our law books are full of these checks and balances; they should apply in the digital too, but don\u2019t today).<\/p>\n

Going back to blame, that\u2019s one actor right there: the copyright industry. They have successfully argued that their monopoly laws should apply online just as it does offline, and in doing so, has completely ignored all the checks and balances<\/em> that apply to the copyright monopoly laws in the analog world. And since copying movies and music has now moved into the same communications channels as we use for private correspondence, the copyright monopoly as such has become fundamentally incompatible<\/a> with private correspondence at the conceptual level.<\/p>\n

The copyright industry has been aware of this conflict and has been continuously pushing for eroded and eliminated privacy to prop up their crumbling and obsolete monopolies, such as pushing for the hated (and now court-axed) Data Retention Directive<\/a> in Europe. They would use this federal law (or European equivalent thereof) to literally get more powers than the Police themselves in pursuing individual people who were simply sharing music and movies, sharing in the way everybody does.<\/p>\n

There are two other major factors at work. The second factor is marketing. The reason we\u2019re tracked at the sub-footstep level in airports and other busy commercial centers is simply to sell us more crap we don\u2019t need. This comes at the expense of privacy that our analog parents took for granted. Don\u2019t even get started on Facebook and Google.<\/p>\n

Last but not least are the surveillance hawks \u2014 the politicians who want to look \u201cTough on Crime\u201d, or \u201cTough on Terrorism\u201d, or whatever the word of choice is this week. These were the ones who pushed the Data Retention Directive into law. The copyright industry were the ones who basically wrote it for them.<\/p>\n

These three factors have working together, and they\u2019ve been very busy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be a long uphill battle to win back the liberties that were slowly won by our ancestors over about six generations, and which have been all but abolished in a decade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not rocket science that our children should have at least the same set of civil liberties in their digital environment, as our parents had in their analog environment. And yet, this is not happening.<\/p>\n

Our children are right to demand Analog Equivalent Privacy Rights \u2014 the civil liberties our parents not just enjoyed, but took for granted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I fear the failure to pass on the civil liberties from our parents to our children is going to be seen as the greatest failure of this particular current generation, regardless of all the good we also accomplish. Surveillance societies can be erected in just ten years, but can take centuries to roll back.<\/p>\n

Privacy remains your own responsibility today. We all need to take it back merely by exercising our privacy rights, with whatever tools are at our disposal.<\/p>\n
