NYC Congestion Plan
From Lauren Weinstein's Blog:
Privacy activist Weinstein points out potential privacy issues with the NYC congestion plan.
Of course, such a system is also dandy for building and maintaining a massive database of driver activities for a range of other purposes. This is likely (regardless of any claims of data privacy) to become fodder for all manner of officials and clever attorneys -- just as "FasTrak" toll data in the San Francisco Bay Area already has.
. . .
This is the kind of invasive technology -- with massive "data creep" potential -- that privacy-conscious people should really be concerned about today, not services like Google's existing Street View application.
It's time to get our priorities straight, folks.
