00:00:00,503 --> 00:00:04,083
i am alex fowler and i work on privacy and policy for mozilla

2
00:00:06,933 --> 00:00:10,543
so we launched a new firefox add on called like me

3
00:00:10,543 --> 00:00:14,783
and light beam is a tool that informed user

4
00:00:14,783 --> 00:00:17,783
about all the interactions they have via their browser

5
00:00:17,783 --> 00:00:20,893
it's meant to improve people literacy about privacy

6
00:00:22,793 --> 00:00:26,573
there are 2 main ways that this is core to mozilla mission

7
00:00:26,573 --> 00:00:30,963
first of all this is really about educations really about bringing to light

8
00:00:30,963 --> 00:00:33,562
the interactions that we have is users online

9
00:00:33,562 --> 00:00:36,952
and all the companies that we interact with so it's really about

10
00:00:36,952 --> 00:00:40,022
teaching learning knowing understanding the weather

11
00:00:40,022 --> 00:00:44,232
the second way that this is core to mission is that we b're building an open dataset

12
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:47,469
so that others can build on this find new ways to educate

13
00:00:47,469 --> 00:00:53,499
new ways to inform and ultimately create new control mechanism for users for their privacy on the web

14
00:00:56,857 --> 00:01:03,007
i'm really excited about how the community can take the code hacked build it make it better

15
00:01:03,007 --> 00:01:06,447
make it more responsive to users needs

16
00:01:06,447 --> 00:01:12,497
so we really educate people how the web works and what they can do to control their own experience of online

17
00:01:14,047 --> 00:01:16,865
i'm Dethe Elza i'm the lead developer light beam

18
00:01:19,228 --> 00:01:24,908
because we care a lot about privacy on web works to make tools to help to people about privacy

19
00:01:26,887 --> 00:01:34,457
well we're hoping to put even more type 2 visualization and more type detection things that can been going on

20
00:01:36,609 --> 00:01:42,589
the crowd sourcing is could everyone can go in and help us gather information about which sites have

21
00:01:43,917 --> 00:01:50,607
privacy policy and which are hearing to do track and trying to build the big picture

22
00:01:50,607 --> 00:01:52,327
for privacy online

23
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,250
launching it

24
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,170
it's been along time
