Privacy in the Digital Age = Nonexistent Reality, Unfulfilled Desire

A European short film cautions viewers to be aware of their digital traces and how those traces are being used –  Primarily focuses on how the government intends to use our info to catch criminals and how ineffective that turns out to be, ultimately not benefiting civilians. In what is supposed to be a democracy, what is considered to be our right to privacy, is being infringed upon, without our knowledge or consent.

The film is in Dutch with English subtitles.

I conclude that privacy in the digital age has become a nonexistent reality (and a nonexistent right) and unfulfilled desire that many have given up any hope of obtaining. For a similar look at how our privacy is infringed upon in the U.S., check out Frontline’s coverage, Spying on the Home Front.
