Oh I know I've been here before. But I just read Dusan Writers blog where he has interviewed LL's new CEO, Rod Humble, and now my hopes are back up again for the future of Second Life.
Listen to this little gem that is like an answer to all worries that LL doesn't care about our privacy:
"Privacy is extremely important for anyone putting themselves out there, expressing themselves, or expressing a side of themselves through an avatar. People don’t want other people to connect the dots from their avatar to their real life person – or even, for that matter, to an alt. One of the ethical obligations we have is to protect people’s privacy."
The whole interview gives an impression of someone with an intuitive understanding of the miracles of Second Life - from that first prim you create - and that it has potential to grow into so much more. Read the full interview here: Dusan Writers interview with Rod Humble, CEO of Linden Lab.
I'll stop worrying about SL now. Tomorrow I'll get some machinima done :o)
And btw - if you haven't already voted for the JIRA's to stop RedZone and it's likes to be able to exploit the media functions:
Add options to selectively limit media sources to limit IP discoverability
RedZone Security violates TOS, exposes private information and is being misused
Actually it's best to watch them since that is the way LL knows we think they are important. I know it's a mess with all the emails you get every time someone posts in it, but in this case it may be worth it.
