Privacy Armor

Love that the bracelet of silence exists and hopefully in time it will go mainstream. Don't love the aesthetics personally but do understand the spirit in which this thing was designed. Something a lot more understated would likely be what ends up in the market aimed for mass adoption. Naturally such armors are not the silver bullet but it signals a need in society so chances are things will shift and change to accommodate it over time

“People into their privacy are no longer shunned as loonies,” Mr. Urban said. “It’s become a concern for people of all ages, political perspectives and walks of life.”

He added: “New technologies are continually eroding our privacy and anonymity. People are looking for an opt-out, which is what I’m trying to provide.”

Woodrow Hartzog, a law and computer science professor at Northeastern University, doesn’t think privacy armor is the solution to our modern woes.

“It creates an arms race, and consumers will lose in that race,” he said. “Any of these things is a half-measure or a stopgap. There will always be a way around it.”
