On the Media, a radio show produced by WNYC, had a good piece on privacy titled "Your Tweets May Be Betraying You". They pointed out the governments overzealous warrantless wiretapping and how this has affected the Telco’s, how corporations are tracking us so heavily so as to make the government appear disinterested in us, and most interestingly, how we now are volunteering so much information that it makes this entire topic mute.
As an example of how much information is publicly available, they pointed out the script Creepy, which “allows you to gather geolocation related information about users from social networking platforms and image hosting services.”
