Paul Vixie has spent decades working on privacy and security. He's skeptical Facebook can balance those with social networking.
Vixie, the CEO of Farsight securities, has worked on privacy and security issues for decades.
The concepts of private and social are, by their nature, at odds with one another, says Vixie, the CEO of Farsight Security., who helped create some of the founding technology underlying the internet and has worked for decades on privacy and security issues, is dubious that Facebook will be able to find some middle ground in between them and still be able to have a fast-growing business.
Facebook's CEO didn't explain how the company would make money off the its new privacy-centric services, although he suggested that Facebook will build into them the ability for corporations to connect with consumers and for consumers to be able to purchase goods through them. Ostensibly, Facebook would charge companies for such services.
Indeed, that law illustrates how the concepts and values of"privacy" and"social" are fundamentally opposed, Vixie said. The law seeks to protect European citizens' privacy by giving them control and ultimate say over their data. In so doing, the law threatens to disrupt the social-networking giant's advertising business.
