I think this is indicative of the tension we all have in using social media, email and the web.
We know that we’re putting a lot of data out there and it might come back and bites us, yet to live our lives as we want we know we have to do it. The whole issue with the cookie legislation coming in on the 26th is this written large. We want to have an idea of what information is being collected and opt out, but we would find the mechanism of informing us and setting our preference cumbersome and annoying.
Personally I prefer the convenience and if I want to keep it private then I avoid online channels.

Perhaps privacy will emerge as a “generative” as described by Kevin Kelly in that recent talk of his about how value is created in a free copy world. (http://youtu.be/9k08xsjjlNc)As he says, we’re likely to find value in, and thus pay for, immediacy (download now!), findability (eg Amazon recomms), embodiment (e.g. experience/go to a gig), interpretation (expert perspective), accessibility (formats), attention and interestingly.. authentication.
