Senators Al Franken and Richard Blumenthal introduced a bill yesterday that takes direct aim at online privacy. After it was reported recently that tech giants like Apple and Google might be collecting location data from unwitting customers, public officials raced to put together legislation that would give the public more control over personal information. If passed, the bill would require developers to obtain consent before collecting and sharing geo-location data.
But that's only one small piece of the incredibly massive and complicated online-privacy puzzle, one that public officials, privacy advocates, and tech companies are trying to solve. Think of all the ways our personal data is collected: through tablets and smartphones and apps and email clients and browsers and myriad web services. The problem has become so fraught that few pretend to have an answer for all of the issue's complexities. A recent interview with Mitchell Baker, chairwoman of the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation,...

"I'm smack in the middle of all of this, and it's hard to imagine legislation right now that we would know how to implement, or know what to do with," says Mitchell Baker, chairwoman of the Mozilla Foundation.
From Silicon Valley to Washington, privacy is a hot-button issue in the digital age: The more data we give to giants like Facebook and Google, the more advertisers have access to our personal lives, and the more public concern grows.
What to do with all this data is a question that has plagued privacy advocates and stumped government officials. But solutions are coming from companies like Mozilla: Its Firefox browser boasts 400 million users, and has become a powerful leveraging tool. Recently, Mozilla launched "Do Not Track," a tool that gives consumers some control over how much data they're willing to share with third parities; other browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft's...

Gabriel Shalom is a young filmmaker who just completed a film called The Future of Money. It features interviews with young social entrepreneurs who are attempting to create networks like Flattr and Giftflow where social currency can replace the paper kind. Many participants were interviewed over Skype, sitting in their bedrooms, and the whole thing was thrown together with $6,000 raised from a large group of donors.
"There's this whole parallel economy based on trust, transparency, and open data"--phenomena like couchsurfing, coworking, community gardens, and hackerspaces, says Shalom. He's one in a horde of innovators and hackers in Barcelona for the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival on the Future of Learning, Freedom and the Web--from David Wiley, one of the godfathers of open educational content, to Joi Ito of Creative Commons, and Mitchell Baker, Mozilla's chief lizard wrangler. I'm here documenting it this week as a follow-up to my book Diy U.
