@zak Having the right to decide what you want to keep to yourself and what you want to share with others is privacy.

The means to enforce not sharing with others that which you’ve decided to keep to yourself is security.

Unfortunately, many times security is defined as some entity protecting the data you’ve shared with it – usually as the prerequisite to using their services – from everyone else but the entity itself (see Google, etc.)

@aral @zak This is main problem with most security-related press and websites. They promote mainstream corporate services as best choice for not tech-savvy people, because "they are secure".
