0:00:00.948,0:00:01.671
You're going -

0:00:01.671,0:00:02.907
[Music]

0:00:02.907,0:00:04.731
So, the internet.

0:00:04.731,0:00:09.019
The internet has become this place where [br]anything you want to know, or see, or hear

0:00:09.019,0:00:11.367
you can find it online and get it for free

0:00:11.367,0:00:12.337
Thing is,

0:00:12.337,0:00:14.572
almost none of that stuff is actually free

0:00:14.572,0:00:15.634
Because, at the same time

0:00:15.634,0:00:16.744
as we're getting all this information,

0:00:16.744,0:00:19.288
we're also giving away [br]a lot of our own information

0:00:19.288,0:00:21.555
Usually without even realizing [br]that we're giving it away

0:00:21.555,0:00:23.811
or realizing that that information [br]we just gave away

0:00:23.811,0:00:24.733
is worth money

0:00:24.733,0:00:25.766
Lots of money

0:00:25.766,0:00:26.638
[Music]

0:00:26.638,0:00:28.318
Me personally up until [br]a few years ago,

0:00:28.318,0:00:31.061
I never used to even think about discounting at all

0:00:31.061,0:00:32.257
I did start thinking about it

0:00:32.257,0:00:34.181
because I acted in a movie where

0:00:34.181,0:00:35.199
I played Edward Snowden, but

0:00:35.199,0:00:37.189
I realized that I think most people just like me,

0:00:37.189,0:00:40.140
really don't ... think about this kind of thing

0:00:40.140,0:00:40.694
[Music]

0:00:40.694,0:00:41.733
So want to make a video

0:00:41.733,0:00:43.559
about what all sorts of different people

0:00:43.559,0:00:45.071
think about this kind of thing

0:00:45.071,0:00:47.537
But myself not even really being an expert about it

0:00:47.537,0:00:48.932
I also wanted to bring in

0:00:48.932,0:00:51.055
someone who knows an awful lot about the

0:00:51.055,0:00:54.169
Internet how it works and how privacy figures into it

0:00:54.169,0:00:56.403
She's the director of engineering at Firefox

0:00:56.403,0:01:00.098
and her name is Selena Declan[br]- Hi

0:01:00.098,0:01:02.599
So to start things off,[br]I asked one simple question:

0:01:02.599,0:01:06.404
"Do you even care about online privacy?"

0:01:06.404,0:01:09.223
- Well ..

0:01:09.223,0:01:14.439
[Music]

0:01:14.439,0:01:16.270
Absolutely care about online privacy

0:01:16.270,0:01:18.046
I don't want my information compromised

0:01:18.046,0:01:19.977
I don't want people taking my identity

0:01:19.977,0:01:22.045
Overall, I really don't care

0:01:22.045,0:01:24.726
I'll do what I can on my end to protect myself

0:01:24.726,0:01:27.513
but I'm not going to worry myself sick about it

0:01:27.513,0:01:29.629
I feel like I share a lot of

0:01:29.629,0:01:32.006
information online without meaning to,

0:01:32.006,0:01:34.364
whenever I buy things online or just

0:01:34.364,0:01:36.493
searching sites[br]I don't know how much of

0:01:36.493,0:01:38.045
my information is being shared

0:01:38.045,0:01:42.834
[Music]

0:01:42.834,0:01:45.115
Something that I have noticed when listening to

0:01:45.115,0:01:46.786
people's experiences with internet privacy

0:01:46.786,0:01:48.943
is that there are a lot of misconceptions

0:01:48.943,0:01:53.100
and they don't really understand how things are happening behind the scenes

0:01:53.100,0:01:54.549
So I think it's really important

0:01:54.549,0:01:56.813
that we have more conversations about this

0:01:56.813,0:01:58.674
and explain it for everyone

0:01:58.674,0:02:01.767
Selena Deckelmann[br]Firefox, Director of Engineering

0:02:02.540,0:02:04.120
Your digital footprint

0:02:04.120,0:02:08.236
I share ... a lot[br]probably the detriment of my family and friends

0:02:08.236,0:02:11.462
Social media kind of has quite us in a position[br]in which

0:02:11.462,0:02:12.589
everything can be shared,

0:02:12.589,0:02:15.555
in which everything can and does and extent

0:02:15.555,0:02:16.677
should be shared

0:02:16.677,0:02:18.130
I don't think it's necessarily bad that

0:02:18.130,0:02:20.770
there's so much more information out there now than there

0:02:20.770,0:02:21.498
ever used to be

0:02:21.498,0:02:23.314
It's a question of how that information gets used

0:02:23.314,0:02:27.404
and it's sort of up to us to know what's happening

0:02:27.404,0:02:29.229
There are a lot of companies out there

0:02:29.229,0:02:32.220
capitalizing on these new technologies

0:02:32.220,0:02:33.680
My facebook ads have become

0:02:33.680,0:02:37.361
scarily accurate for what I would buy

0:02:37.361,0:02:40.922
I just find it weird when you're not actually

0:02:40.922,0:02:44.071
doing anything on the internet in order

0:02:44.071,0:02:45.474
for an ad to show up

0:02:45.474,0:02:50.102
I don't like the fact that a supermarket can judge

0:02:50.102,0:02:52.891
when my monthly cycle is and that's when

0:02:52.891,0:02:54.874
they print off the vouchers with my tools,

0:02:54.874,0:02:56.915
said for money off sanitary ware

0:02:56.915,0:03:00.013
My supermarket knows when I'm going to have a period

0:03:00.013,0:03:01.657
The data trail timeline

0:03:01.657,0:03:04.498
Sometimes people might feel a little creeped out

0:03:04.498,0:03:08.841
by what happens just because they went shopping for something one day

0:03:08.841,0:03:10.724
The reality is, in this day and age,

0:03:10.724,0:03:14.121
almost everything we do leave some sort of digital footprint

0:03:14.121,0:03:16.009
and that data is being collected,

0:03:16.009,0:03:17.902
processed, and distributed to third parties

0:03:17.902,0:03:19.490
with or without your knowledge

0:03:20.343,0:03:23.381
that, example of what happens with a grocery store

0:03:23.520,0:03:24.553
If you kind of walk through that,

0:03:24.553,0:03:25.979
You know, you go to the grocery store

0:03:25.979,0:03:28.740
and you have a loyalty card for that store

0:03:28.740,0:03:31.103
that has some unique identifier

0:03:31.103,0:03:32.478
So, there's probably some sort of number

0:03:32.478,0:03:33.721
and then at that point,

0:03:33.721,0:03:36.577
the store has uniquely identified you

0:03:36.577,0:03:39.237
and they have a database somewhere with that information

0:03:39.237,0:03:43.662
and when you checkout, they have [br]a list of everything that you bought

0:03:43.662,0:03:46.795
and they will associate that with the loyalty card

0:03:47.139,0:03:48.417
So, at that point

0:03:48.417,0:03:49.957
they have this little piece of information

0:03:49.957,0:03:51.997
and that can be used in a lot of different ways

0:03:51.997,0:03:53.612
Some report might get created

0:03:53.612,0:03:55.954
That report might be what[br]should we stock next week.

0:03:55.954,0:03:58.685
Another report might be [br]what should we advertise to

0:03:58.698,0:04:01.427
someone who bought, let's say [br]we bought some tampons

0:04:01.455,0:04:05.367
and when should we advertise [br]that to her in the future

0:04:05.471,0:04:07.669
and so they've got some[br]algorithm that they're using to generate

0:04:07.761,0:04:09.786
that report and then they will send that

0:04:09.814,0:04:11.077
off to a third party to do that

0:04:11.102,0:04:14.036
advertising. So at that point your data's

0:04:14.107,0:04:15.717
kind of out there and you didn't really

0:04:15.753,0:04:17.729
ask them to do that. You may or may not

0:04:17.764,0:04:19.953
have intended for that to happen[br]but it happened anyway

0:04:22.289,0:04:26.020
It sort of feels like this giant [br]mountain we can't do anything about,

0:04:26.278,0:04:29.675
and I'm not sure what we [br]could do as a little person.

0:04:29.675,0:04:31.511
I pretty much don't share anything online that

0:04:31.565,0:04:34.049
I would be upset if it ended up on the

0:04:34.133,0:04:35.364
front page of a newspaper.

0:04:35.416,0:04:37.844
Everything that I put online is not true, it's not

0:04:37.957,0:04:40.301
accurate, and that's the [br]best way to control privacy.

0:04:40.366,0:04:46.102
Hi, I'd like to speak to an man names[br]Perry, lastname Noid. Perry Noid.

0:04:47.997,0:04:50.070
There's a wide variety of actions

0:04:50.070,0:04:51.543
that you can take to [br]protect yourself online.

0:04:51.710,0:04:53.475
The first step is just being

0:04:53.624,0:04:55.493
generally aware of where you're going

0:04:55.575,0:04:57.856
online and what you're clicking on.

0:04:58.028,0:05:00.655
It's important for reasons that aren't just

0:05:00.683,0:05:02.652
strictly a privacy and data collection,

0:05:02.706,0:05:04.434
but also there's this thing called

0:05:04.535,0:05:06.681
phishing where people try to get you to

0:05:06.897,0:05:08.997
enter in personal information into a

0:05:09.085,0:05:10.613
website that you didn't intend.

0:05:10.701,0:05:12.699
Other things you can do is using private

0:05:12.714,0:05:14.326
browsing mode or something like that in

0:05:14.427,0:05:16.152
your browser to restrict the information

0:05:16.225,0:05:18.392
that is being shared between multiple

0:05:18.408,0:05:20.341
different web sites there are more sort

0:05:20.465,0:05:21.856
of like technical things that you can

0:05:22.065,0:05:25.843
try, like some people look into VPNs,[br]a virtual private network.

0:05:25.843,0:05:28.501
A VPN is a service you can use that is

0:05:28.501,0:05:31.782
basically a middleman between you and

0:05:31.929,0:05:32.827
the rest of the internet, so that

0:05:32.941,0:05:34.324
websites you visit, they think that

0:05:34.349,0:05:36.014
you're coming from the VPN provider, not

0:05:36.028,0:05:37.440
from where you came from originally.

0:05:37.482,0:05:39.644
You can use a VPN when you're maybe in a

0:05:39.821,0:05:41.827
place that's unfamiliar and you want to make

0:05:41.891,0:05:44.056
sure that your browsing, or maybe you're

0:05:44.107,0:05:45.219
checking your email or something like

0:05:45.267,0:05:46.938
that, that it's private and secure.

0:05:49.109,0:05:50.414
At this point, we all kind of have to

0:05:50.414,0:05:53.026
take a step back and say is this what we

0:05:53.107,0:05:55.222
want? Is this how we want our information

0:05:55.287,0:05:57.792
to be used? Do we want more controls on

0:05:57.822,0:06:00.334
this? Do people want to know exactly how

0:06:00.417,0:06:02.533
their information is going to get shared?

0:06:02.601,0:06:06.182
So, I think my sense from hearing both

0:06:06.274,0:06:08.748
the emotion and the content of what

0:06:08.809,0:06:10.415
people said, is that people would like to

0:06:10.425,0:06:12.079
have a little more control. They would

0:06:12.155,0:06:13.980
like to have a little more insight and

0:06:14.028,0:06:16.401
hopefully, as time passes we'll find ways

0:06:16.449,0:06:17.846
to make that happen.

0:06:18.032,0:06:50.560
