So, at the risk of repeating myself (see below, April 9), these new revelations about Verizon telephone calls and CIA analysis of Google data, etc., remind me yet again of my own Laws of Data Dynamics, codified in my first book, The Naked Consumer. I note, by the way, that if you search for these laws via Google (as surely the CIA now knows) you’ll find references to “Larson’s Laws of Data Dynamics.” LARSON’s laws--Ha, I LOVE it; and I’m sure the CIA does too. The First Law (my Law of Data Coalescence): Data MUST seek and merge with complementary data. The Second Law: Data ALWAYS will be used for purposes other than originally intended. The Third Law: Data collected about individuals WILL be used to cause harm to one or more members of the group who provided the information or about whom it was collected, be it minor (the aggravation of targeted junkmail) or major (having your bank account emptied by a hacker). The Fourth Law: Confidential information is confidential only until someone decides it’s not.
