I'm curious about the future implications of big data, sharing and employer
profiling.
Suppose I said on the publicly searchable google list that I love drinking
Coca-Cola more than Pepsi.
Suppose I hacked a Coca-Cola jacket etc. and said I just "wasn't into"
Pepsi.
Now suppose that that thread was the first thing to show up in a list of
googleable searches for my name.
If I were to interview at a dot com for a developer position and that firm
had close business associations with Pepsi but not Coca-Cola, then I might
not get hired.
Or if big data became very powerful, a potential health insurer could see
that I drank Coca-Cola, and it's less healthy than Pepsi, and charge me
higher rates, rates as high as someone who has severe diabetes. How would
that go?
So I know that this list is open, and I'm joining it knowing it's
transparent, but I'm wondering how much more we will have to edit our
opinions in the future in order to remain reputable or employable.

I think some cultures have an expectation of openness, and some of default
privacy. Hackerspaces seem to tend to frown on things like camera
surveillance, but to default to a lot of free/open source tech and culture
standards otherwise where there is a lot of transparency.
There could always be another, private, sudo room mailing list, you just
would have to set another one up.
The language about "list of members not being visible to other than list
members" is about looking at the full list of people subscribed.
It sounds like a) you made a mistake b) it might be good for the mail
admin to add something more clear to the standard sign up email to
emphasize the archives are public.

I've taken this email off the sudo list and added Anthony and Eddan and
Aestetix to it for reasons that will be obvious to them when they read
this.
Here's the cut-and-paste of Tracy's remark on this thread:
"Sudoers,
Why does our discussion list have to be published on the internet? I
don't personally want it to be that public. Who decided it should be
done that way, and is there another option?
Tracy"
So now there are TWO of us who DO NOT want our EMAIL to be fed to the
GOOGLE.
And YEAH there's another option, which is to NOT publish our stuff to
the internet. That's what the fucking WIKI is for. Email by definition
is not that.
It was never disclosed to me, and I never gave consent, to EMAIL being
published to GOOGLE. Email is not a blog, a wiki, or a website, any
more than a conference call is a radio broadcast. How would you like it
if you discovered that your telephone calls were being broadcast on the
radio, eh?
So let's be really clear about this: I feel VIOLATED by this in a most
intimate and personal way. I was deceived by a failure to disclose a
material fact. Had I been informed that this stuff was going to be
published to the internet and made searchable by email address, I would
have created a compartmentalized address specifically for this purpose,
and used that address, not a personal address that I use for other
purposes. I routinely compartmentalize things for security purposes, it
takes only minor effort to do.
INFORMED CONSENT IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE, and there is no getting
out of it by way of fine print or any other such garbage.
And being violated is not a joke. Ha ha ha, someone put LSD (or Roofies
for that matter) in your soda, ha ha ha, the guy you slept with last
night had every disease in the book but he didn't tell you, ha ha
fucking ha, if you don't like salmonella don't eat the chicken at the
barbeque, we all like salmonella what's wrong with you if you don't? Oh
look, there's a VEGAN, let's slip him some LARD in his beans, ha ha ha.
Sorry y'all, that's not funny, it doesn't wash, it doesn't rinse, and
I'm fucking sick of spin.
Holy fucking shit, I just pulled an allnighter for work, I'm about to
try to get four hours' sleep and then go into San Francisco and move
EFF's telephone service and about 50 phones, and THIS comes up.
Believe me when I say this is way past my limit, and I am so fucking mad
right now that you don't even want to hear the first three metaphors for
it that come to mind.
So do whatever it takes to disconnect this mailing list from Google,
NOW, and put this on the meeting agenda for next Wednesday, and you'd
better believe I'm going to raise a fucking stink that's going to make a
den of skunks look like a bouquet of roses if this doesn't get done.
This shit totally puts the lie to every ounce of anarchist rhetoric I've
ever heard around here.

New subject: Getting violated and putting a stop to it.
I think most people worry about this way too much. People who hire people
are generally busy, they don't have time to root around everywhere on the
internet. Also most people aren't very good at Googling, surprisingly
enough. Also, your particular scenereo is absurd - if you're a good
developer you're in high demand.
I would say, be on the internet a lot, use a lot of fake names, trust that
volume will drown out particulars.

New subject: Getting violated and putting a stop to it.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I've been mostly avoiding this due to lack of time, but I'm going to
jump in here because this topic is important:
I'd actually argue that people don't worry about it enough. Given a
number of recent issues, it's kind of scary how much a government or
corporation can piece together based on previously made assessments.
What we should be worried about is not necessarily what a hiring
employer might find, but what the company they outsource their social
networking background check to will find. Don't even get me started
about all the news that's coming out about what DHS was monitoring
during Occupy.
I think this is an important conversation: what does privacy mean in
2013, and how much of our own transparency do we get to decide? I do
agree with Schneier to a large extent that there's a control issue at
hand. Names matter for some things (that's a longer conversation), but
in terms of data mining, there are many, many ways to link information
together. If you're curious for more, take a look at the Facebook
shadow profiles that have been revealed during a lawsuit in Ireland.
If nothing else, we might want to ask questions about what data we
have online, and how it is being used. How can we control it better?
Will putting robots.txt be good enough, or do we also need to put a
mailing list license on our mailman to make sure it's only used for
educational purposes? Etc etc.
Just food for thought.
Hail Eris,
aestetix

Who decided
it should be
done that way, and is there another option?
Tracy"
So now there are TWO of us who DO NOT want our EMAIL to be
fed to the
GOOGLE.
And YEAH there's another option, which is to NOT publish
our stuff to
the internet. That's what the fucking WIKI
is for. Email
by definition
is not that.
It was never disclosed to me, and I never gave consent, to
EMAIL being
published to GOOGLE. Email is not a blog, a
wiki, or a
website, any
more than a conference call is a radio broadcast.
How
would you like it
if you discovered that your telephone calls were
being
broadcast on the
radio, eh?
So let's be really clear about this: I feel VIOLATED by
this in a most
intimate and personal way. I was deceived by a
failure to
disclose a
material fact. Had I been informed that this
stuff was
going to be
published to the internet and made searchable by
email
address, I would
have created a compartmentalized address
specifically for
this purpose,
and used that address, not a personal address
that I use
for other
purposes. I routinely compartmentalize things
for
security purposes, it
takes only minor effort to do.
INFORMED CONSENT IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE, and there is
no getting
out of it by way of fine print or any other such
garbage.
And being violated is not a joke. Ha ha ha, someone put
LSD (or Roofies
for that matter) in your soda, ha ha ha, the guy
you slept
with last
night had every disease in the book but he
didn't tell
you, ha ha
fucking ha, if you don't like salmonella
don't eat the
chicken at the
barbeque, we all like salmonella what's wrong
with you if
you don't? Oh
look, there's a VEGAN, let's slip him
some LARD in his
beans, ha ha ha.
Sorry y'all, that's not funny, it
doesn't wash, it doesn't
rinse, and
I'm fucking sick of spin.
Holy fucking shit, I just pulled an allnighter for work,
I'm about to
try to get four hours' sleep and then go into
San
Francisco and move
EFF's telephone service and about 50 phones,
and THIS
comes up.
Believe me when I say this is way past my limit, and I am
so fucking mad
right now that you don't even want to hear
the first three
metaphors for
it that come to mind.
So do whatever it takes to disconnect this mailing list
from Google,
NOW, and put this on the meeting agenda for next
Wednesday, and you'd
better believe I'm going to raise a fucking
stink that's
going to make a
den of skunks look like a bouquet of roses if
this doesn't
get done.
This shit totally puts the lie to every ounce of anarchist
rhetoric I've
ever heard around here.

New subject: Getting violated and putting a stop to it.
another version of this problem though has more acutely dangerous implications - such as
cyberstalking, cyber-bullying, gender reclassification, witness-protection and other
sensitive defensive circumstances.
the big problem that remains to be solved, as far as i understand it, is the ability to
have at Sudo Room an identity sufficiently separate from your personally identifiable self
to enable you to be persistently sudo-nym-ous throughout all potentially recordable
interactions in the various fora that make up the community.

I think most people worry about this way too much.
People who hire people are generally busy, they don't have time to root around
everywhere on the internet. Also most people aren't very good at Googling,
surprisingly enough. Also, your particular scenereo is absurd - if you're a good
developer you're in high demand.
I would say, be on the internet a lot, use a lot of fake names, trust that volume will
drown out particulars.

I'm curious about the future implications of big data, sharing and employer
profiling.
Suppose I said on the publicly searchable google list that I love drinking Coca-Cola more
than Pepsi.
Suppose I hacked a Coca-Cola jacket etc. and said I just "wasn't into"
Pepsi.
Now suppose that that thread was the first thing to show up in a list of googleable
searches for my name.
If I were to interview at a dot com for a developer position and that firm had close
business associations with Pepsi but not Coca-Cola, then I might not get hired.
Or if big data became very powerful, a potential health insurer could see that I drank
Coca-Cola, and it's less healthy than Pepsi, and charge me higher rates, rates as high
as someone who has severe diabetes. How would that go?
So I know that this list is open, and I'm joining it knowing it's transparent,
but I'm wondering how much more we will have to edit our opinions in the future in
order to remain reputable or employable.

Whoa.... It's a mailing list you sign up for of your own free will isn't it? At
http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss. Where it has a link to a public archive
on the web. Using totally standard mailing list software.
I think some cultures have an expectation of openness, and some of default privacy.
Hackerspaces seem to tend to frown on things like camera surveillance, but to default to a
lot of free/open source tech and culture standards otherwise where there is a lot of
transparency.
There could always be another, private, sudo room mailing list, you just would have to
set another one up.
The language about "list of members not being visible to other than list
members" is about looking at the full list of people subscribed.
It sounds like a) you made a mistake b) it might be good for the mail admin to add
something more clear to the standard sign up email to emphasize the archives are public.
Cheers,
