I'm curious... If you had the ear of a young, moderately tech savvy,
intelligent adult (say, a Columbia Law student) for a few minutes, what
would be the top 3 or 4 things you'd try and convince her to do in order to
protect her privacy / identity online? Encrypted email? Some type of browse=
r
adjustment?

I think it would be extremely easy for someone with the inclination to put
together a video, podcast, web page, etc., making a clear case for such
measures and explaining / illustrating in layman's terms exactly how to
implement them. If it were clever enough, it probably wouldn't be hard to
get the thing into significant viral circulation. But the key would be
keeping the message simple and direct---there'd only be time to advocate a
few simple adjustments to the viewer's traditional online experience.

Thoughts?
