The last post I made, below is entitled, "I still don't understand privacy, but maybe it's a language barrier." It is about the inadequacy of the vocabulary we're using to develop the digital identity "world." (And, I appear to have confused the author of the "Seven Laws of Identity" with a short-term former Canadian prime minister . . . my bad and now repaired.)
That was yesterday. So, I find it almost serendipidous if not synchronistic to find the following quotation in a post by Kim Cameron:
But talking later with my excellent friend and partner Adele Freedman, she pointed out in an irritated sort of way that in the non-digital world, identity and anonymity really are exclusive. Anonymity is "the quality or state of being unknown or unacknowledged." But identity is, "the collective aspect of the set of characteristics by which a thing is definitively recognizable or known."Amen.So my takeaway is that we need to improve the way we talk about this. [This emphasis mine]
