For anyone who is really concerned about keeping their thoughts private there is only one reliable technology: write with a pen on paper, and burn what you’ve written when you’re done. The devices we now carry with us everywhere give us access to various information, but simultaneously offer vast quantities of information about us. Thus, to go online is to descend into a world as transparent as an aquarium (水族箱) that is full of sharks.
It would be a mistake to see these problems as primarily technological, because technological solutions will work only within a legal and political context. The real threats to privacy come not from vulnerable gadgets but weak laws, careless users and feeble oversight. A cruel government would not hesitate to hack into a company’s networks at the first opportunity. And against sufficient cruelty and physical power, technology is ultimately no defense.
Adding to this problem is the increasingly interchangeable border between state and non-state actors. When the FBI could not crack the iPhone used in shootings, it turned to an Israeli private company, which, however, has in turn been hacked, and meanwhile many of the devices designed for use by law enforcement, which can get all the information out of a captured mobile phone, can be bought freely over the Internet by any private company.
These threats can seem very distant, but commercially motivated attacks on privacy fill the whole of the Internet, and in fact fund most of it today. Websites routinely collect as much information as they can about the users and then sell it on to data brokers for use in personally targeted advertising campaigns. Facebook has built its entire titanic empire on this trade. Even when this data is anonymized, the protection is leaky, and someone who knows everything about you except your name is in a much stronger position than one who knows your name but nothing else.
But the real danger comes when these two kinds of loss of privacy combine so that the knowledge gained for commercial ends is used for political manipulation too. It is in the interests of advertisers to short-circuit rational thought and careful consideration, but it is even more in the interests of wicked leaders to do so. Against this we must rely on moral and intellectual defenses much more than the supposed magic of advanced technology.
The second paragraph suggests that the loss of privacy online______.
选项
A、cannot be solved by technology alone
B、arises from flaws of digital devices
C、can be overcome quite easily
D、has nothing to do with the government
答案
A
解析
第二段说明隐私泄露这个问题不仅仅与技术有关,原因是技术要受法律制度和政治体系的限制。对隐私的主要威胁不是来自工具(gadgets),而是来自不完善的法律、粗心的用户和监管不力。所以说,仅凭先进的防火墙技术是无法解决相关问题的。
