The American Telephony and Internet Service Provider AT&T just released an incredibly fast fiber-optic internet service in Kansas City for 70 dollars a month.
But that's not what's new: customers who don't want to be spied on by the telecom giant while on the web surfing them, they will have to pay an additional $29.
In other words, a dubious preservation of online personal life will cost around 350 dollars a year.
Lustiness on the part of the company, or straightness, this will be judged by each of you.
The question is whether there can be such an agreement. Is it fair for AT&T to force consumers to protect themselves by paying a price?
Η απάντηση για τους ρομαντικούς του διαδικτύου μάλλον είναι όχι. Για άλλους όμως πιο ορθολογιστές η απάντηση είναι ναι. Η επιλογή της πληρωμένης διασφάλισης της ιδιωτικής σας ζωής μάλλον φαίνεται σκληρή, αλλά το διαnetwork to this day it works this way.
Google, and the Facebook για παράδειγμα προσφέρουν “free” υπηρεσίες που στην πραγματικότητα δεν είναι καθόλου δωρεάν. Το αντίτιμο δεν μετριέται με χρήματα αλλά με τα προσωπικά μας στοιχεία.
AT&T just makes it more open. Do you want protection? Pay.
In the future, it is very likely that we will see more companies doing the same.
At a time when it is now known that the Internet is a big crowd of global gathering and collecting information from secret and non-service, many will think of doing the same.
The question is whether they can do it, since entire governments have failed and laws seem to be powerless in the new virtual environment.
Is the paid protection of our privacy the solution that stops the collection of information from the secret services or from the advertisers?
I do not think.
We have seen that the internet world is very "open." Nothing can be hidden, and even if he manages to do so, there will always be one who manages to discover a crevice of access. In addition, the advertising company and the secret services are constantly discovering new ways of collecting data.
Would you pay for such a service?
