Developing for privacy: civility frameworks and technical design

The Sunday Boston Globe of January 30, 2000 was very representative of current newspapers. In addition to the usual mayhem, fires, weather, traffic accidents, and sports, the newspaper contained a number of Internet related stories, all roughly on a similar topic. A page one story discussed Internet gambling. Even though it is illegal in US, Internet gambling has merely moved offshore. Another story reports the widow of Frank Malina, an artist, has been sued over the word “Leonardo.” Malina founded an academic journal called “Leonardo” in 1968, but a French corporation is claiming trademark damages because the journal shows up in Web searches for their site “Leonardo”. Another story tells people how to avoid auction scams on e-bay and similar Web sites.
