| Summary: | Strahilevitz discusses how information or lack thereof, is used as the basis of exclusion and the creation of homogeneity in housing developments, workplaces or other groups. Control of information is used in order to discriminate against unwanted groups, and government has not adapted the laws to eliminate this behavior. Examples from 19th century Britain and India are used as comparisons to today's use of identification technology. The second part of the talk discusses how data is easier to collect and share with modern technology but consumers are largely unconcerned with the type of data collected or the uses of data mining, even if it may be seem to violate personal privacy.
