Less Privacy is Good for Us (and You)
This article helps to see past losing some of our privacy as a bad thing. Losing some privacy sounds like it can be a great benefit and help to the community. If we lose privacy to HIV testing, then we may be able to save a childs life. Something like that has to be considered since so much is at stake. I think any mother would give an HIV test results to people to save their childs life or atleast better their life and get them the treatment they needed. Also the article talks about biometrics. The biometrics can be used to keep people from stealing money out of other peoples accounts by recognizing their face and not allowing a stranger to access your account. It can also help prevent frauds and illegal aliens from falsifying their identity to gain tax returns and parents from skipping out on child care. Over all i think small privacy losses such as these would be tolerable, however if we start invading on other things and all the little things start to add up, then there could be some real issues.
