The most promising privacy thing is stupid phones. I’m dumping all my smart phones.
While most of us have long understood that privacy is a fading commodity, something in human nature still expects that a phone call or email is a closed communication, and we tend to behave as though it is. That behaviour is what the electronic spies count upon, and want to preserve.
TIA was being used by real users, working on real data – foreign data. Data where privacy is not an issue.

I wrote ‘The Spy Who Came in from the Cold’ at the age of 30 under intense, unshared personal stress and in extreme privacy. As an intelligence officer in the guise of a junior diplomat at the British Embassy in Bonn, I was a secret to my colleagues, and much of the time to myself.
My biggest thing has always been privacy. With an interview such as this where the questions are about me, I struggle to express myself. I have an immediate answer in my head of what I’d say, but sometimes I feel that it would be too honest. So these wheels of censorship start going around my head.
We all have a personal recipe for productivity. One person may need six cups of autonomy and just a pinch of collaboration. Another person may require heaps of sociability and noise, with just a teaspoon of occasional privacy.
When one chooses a life as a public personality they give up certain levels of privacy but in one’s home and intimate moments everyone should be protected.

I have two daughters: One an open book, one a locked box. So the question of privacy is a challenging one. How much do kids need? How much should we give? How do we prepare them to live in a world where the very notion of privacy opens a generational chasm?
It’s just as difficult to live in a self-made hell of privacy as it is to live in a self-made hell of publicity.
I long ago lost track of the number of times the Obama administration has assured everyone that its vacuum-cleaner approach to electronic surveillance does not threaten the privacy or the rights of Americans.

I had to focus on some personal areas in my life with the little bit of privacy that I have.
Being a Brady comes with it’s pleasures and its baggage. I’m not one given to a lack of privacy and invasion.
Regular people are the problem. It’s not the government, it’s not the invasive Big Brother, it’s the fact that we’re a nation of snitches and nosey people who then cry when somebody wants our personal information. I’m talking about people who are being voyeuristic to people’s privacy.
Facebook says, ‘Privacy is theft,’ because they’re selling your lack of privacy to the advertisers who might show up one day.
I am not entirely off grid. I send a lot of email. But the way Facebook constantly alters its privacy settings to bamboozle you into giving more away is just underhand.
Experience has taught me that privacy truly is the touchstone of our criminal justice system.
Privacy is not for sale, and human rights should not be compromised out of fear or greed.
You can’t buy your privacy back. Because I was already doing OK, and to have this abstract amount of money now, I cannot buy my privacy back.
It’s a funny thing because I don’t want to wish away my privacy. Do I want ‘Terminator Genisys’ to explode? Absolutely. Do I want to take my career to the next level? Absolutely? You have to trade some things for that. It’s all about how you conduct yourself and what you make of the experience.
The podcast ‘Note to Self’ is ‘the tech show about being human’. Human notions of privacy have changed.

The best way to preserve your privacy is to use a search engine that does not keep your logs in the first place. That’s the approach used by Startpage and its European parent company, Ixquick.
The Fourth Amendment protects the privacy of us all – from ordinary citizens up to candidates for president. If we allow this precious right to be ignored when dealing with a presidential campaign, it can be ignored when dealing with the rest of us.
Sharing with just your friends doesn’t protect your privacy. I know the people at Facebook will disagree and argue that users can control what is shared with whom. But this is simply an illusion that makes us feel better about all the sharing we have done and are about to do.
Every actor prepares differently and to different degrees of privacy. Some want to talk everything out. Others really don’t want to talk anything out – or rehearse much.
I’m not a kid. You don’t get in this business for anonymity. It’s not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I’m kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family – their privacy. That’s what I’m more protective of.
Hopefully, people will look at our stance on privacy in general and know that we’re not trying to operate outside of a fairly distinct line that we’re drawing. I hope that people trust us to do the right thing there.
Where is the expectation of privacy in the commission of a crime?
I want my son – and my kids, if I have more – to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible. The fact that his father and I have chosen to do the work that we do doesn’t give anybody the right to invade our privacy.
Most journalists now believe that a person’s privacy zone gets smaller and smaller as the person becomes more and more powerful.
I do think readers should respect my privacy, but I don’t get angry when I get personal questions, because I understand why.
I want my government to do something about my privacy – I don’t want to just do it on my own.
I think privacy is valuable. You don’t have to share everything, and it’s healthy to occasionally hit the pause button and ask yourself if you’re oversharing. But at the end of the day, if you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to hide.
You use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren’t allowed to be normal.
Anytime Facebook wants to change how it might use all that data about you, in any way, across any service it has within the Facebook ecosystem, all it has to do is change one privacy policy, tell you about it, and that’s that.

The best times I’ve had backstage are when you have people around you who genuinely love you, respect your privacy, and have your back – that’s what it’s all about.
I love my garden. I love my privacy. I’m very fierce about it. I try not to let too many people into my home. That’s my private place.
I’m allowed to maintain some modicum of privacy. But also, I would like not to be picked apart or for people to observe when I put on 10 pounds or take off 10 pounds, or I have a hair extension out of place, or my fake tan is botched.
Twitter is the most impulsive form of social media, but it’s still the most celebrated among politicians and pundits within the Beltway, which is curious, since it can destroy any sense of privacy.
I’m not on Facebook. I’m not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have. And then my question to that is always, ‘Well, how much of yourself are you putting out there?’
Lawmakers who support CISA will tell you the bill includes some privacy protections. They’re right. But these ‘protections’ are superficial and include broad loopholes that are so far-reaching as to render the protections meaningless.
I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.
I’m not on Facebook. I’m not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have.
