The same people who may have signed a petition against a National ID number now share their info willingly with applications on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>On July 26th, 2006, the American Civil Liberties Union released a brilliant video on how our sensitive information may be used in the future. I\u2019m certain I laughed my ass off the first time I saw it. Little did I know how close to reality it might be in just a few years. It seemed like a joke at the time but watching it now I have a completely different opinion. Instead of fearing a government, we should watch out for the companies who have partnered with Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this video was to help the ALCU in their fight against a National ID system.  While it was designed to be a warning, this video can now be used as an example for creating a great social application interface.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/billpstudios.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/national-id-system-replaced-by-facebook.html\" target=\"_blank\">Watch video here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with Bill&#8217;s permission from his <a href=\"http:\/\/billpstudios.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/billpwp.jpg\" alt=\"bill p\" class=\"attachment wp-att-7167 alignleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By Bill Pytlovany<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always writing about privacy and my recommendations on protecting your personal information.
