  Privacy

  I'm researching attention data and privacy issues just keep jumping out at me.  If an attention system is implicitly monitoring everything I say in IM and Email and when I browse theb, read my feeds there are huge privacy implications especially if that data is stored on someone's server somewhere. This is augmented with the likelyhood that good attention systems will be monetised through advertising. At this stage, what is the difference between an attention system and adware like Claria ? Can I own the data? Keep it on my system? Approve what data is added to it? Are there any good debates on this subject already anywhere?
