“It’s very easy for us to point to certain individuals who have over-shared,” Chris Jay Hoofnagle, one of the study’s lead authors, said in an interview. “The most outrageous, most incorrigible teenagers have become a symbol for all young people.

King added that young adults rarely understand that, in the case of Facebook, selecting the option to let “everyone” see one’s profile does not mean permission has been granted to everyone on Facebook, but rather everyone who uses the Internet.

“I argue that the tail is wagging the dog: the companies that have the most to gain from describing young people as careless about privacy are encouraging and facilitating that carelessness,” [Hoofnagle] said in the e-mail. “Fundamentally, Google and Facebook are Machiavellian; they are using well-known principles from behavioral economics to encourage revelation of personal data, all the while instituting policies that make it appear as though they are not complicit in its revelation.”

U.S. Internet users largely “stand on the side of privacy advocates” when it comes to online tracking, even when assured that they are being tracked anonymously, the study concludes. “That is the case even among young adults whom advertisers often portray as caring little about information privacy.”

The problems Oakland faces may be common among major cities across the U.S. which are similarly short staffed and strapped for cash, making them ill-equipped to handle a host of new technologies being deployed, says Jennifer King…. “ShotSpotter, like other law-enforcement technology out there, is predicated on the idea that there’s a coordinated approach to fighting crime,” says Ms. King. “City lawmakers, community leaders and the police need to work together to make it work.”
