Accountability of Presence: Location Tracking Beyond Privacy

Googling for papers about Location Based Services and Privacy I found the video presenting Paul Dourish, well known for his work on Ubiqitous Computing and Social Science, giving a lecture for the Stanford University Human-Computer Interaction Semina. Really interesting, especially for those, that are interested in Location Based Services.

"Mobility is no longer sufficient; location-tracking is a key feature. However, the introduction of location-based technologies has traditionally been accompanied by a series of concerns over privacy. These discussions, though, adopt a fairly reductive model of privacy, concerned primarily with the trade-offs involved in service provision and location disclosure."

Have a nice watching :)
