Seems to be more interested in privacy protection for social networks such as Facebook

Wenter Sove, Google's chief Internet evangelist, said at an event at the Federal Trade Commission this week that internet privacy is a new problem that will not last, Vint Cerf, the father of the Internet.

"Privacy protection may actually be an aberration," says Cerf. And decades ago, people's privacy was not even guaranteed. For example, he had lived in a small town in the early years, and everyone had no telephones at home, so the postman could know where all the letters were coming from. "There is no privacy in the town of 3000 people," he says. Everyone knows what other people are doing. ”

Cerf believes that the development of science and technology has not deprived people of privacy, but created a prerequisite for privacy protection. "It was the industrial revolution and the development of urbanization that boosted anonymity," he said. He simply simplified his point of view: "I do not want you to think that I have a superficial view of the issue," said Cerf. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve privacy protection. ”

Although CERF is linked to the recent US National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance scandal, he appears to be more interested in the privacy protections of social networks such as Facebook. "Our social behavior is destroying privacy, and the technology we're using is more than our social intuition," he says. We need to develop social customs that are more respectful of people's privacy. ”
