Again Leaking ?

In today’s world, when something is leaked, the whole world knows it instantly.

If it is recorded, it will be leaked. Period. And almost anything can be recorded now.

This kind of atmosphere, in which everything may potentially be completely transparent at any point, has devastating, potentially deadly consequences for militaries. We don’t envy strategists these days trying to work around this. Telling soldiers not to use Facebook places is, we'r sure, the least of their worries.For businesses and individuals, I believe it represents a pressure on ideas of privacy and individuality that’s likely to profoundly change the way we work. We’re likely to proceed more and more often with the assumption that our intentions are open to others and that there’s no point in trying to hide work in progress. “Trade secrets” could well become a thing of the past.
Leaks are not the problem; they are the symptom. They reveal a disconnect between what people want and need to know and what they actually do know. The greater the secrecy, the more likely a leak. The way to move beyond leaks is to ensure a robust regime for the public to access important information.
