Digital Smarts - Express Written Consent

You are here

The amount and types of information that can unknowingly be shared from our smartphones is startling for many people. Mike Feibus points out in a recent column for USA Today that most people would like “express written consent” when it comes to sharing information from our phones and other digital devices. Most people have standards for privacy and expect that anyone with access to personal data will respect those standards, including the government. As the Patriot Act expires, it will be interesting to see what those standards evolve into.
