The inventions that we are beginning to use all the time limit people's right to privacy. This is the opinion with the participants of the online conference shared the General Director of Kaspersky Lab Evgeny Kaspersky, answering a question about the infringement of individual freedom in the era of total digitalization.
“Restrictions begin with a piece of paper called a passport,” says E. Kaspersky. — Further more: credit cards that allow banks to know everything about the client’s purchases; mobile phones, which can be used to track the location and even listen to the subscriber’s conversation; street surveillance cameras that can recognize faces and monitor people’s movements. Spying, sniffing, eavesdropping - all this has become the order of things, and the further it goes, the worse.”
According to the head of Kaspersky Lab, this state of affairs is an integral part of digital progress. “It’s not good or bad, it’s reality. The world is becoming better, faster, more fun, more interesting, more colorful... I regard this infringement of private space as a taxation for a more beautiful digital world,” said Evgeny Kaspersky.
“People have adapted to new realities. Moreover, it will only get worse, but the next generation will get used to it,” summed up the CEO of Kaspersky Lab.
