   It's important to note that most people only know about three of the   
   million things they should know about privacy, which is why most people   
   think it's absurd for anyone to add privacy into their daily use model.   
      
   An example is I might post images to social media, web forums, and to   
   Amazon Vine, where, if I didn't know how easy it is to fingerprint.   
      
   It takes just a few seconds to obfuscate the digital fingerprint that every   
   digital camera, phone or DSLR leaves by imprinting microscopic, consistent   
   imperfections in every photo it takes.   
      
   These imperfections form a kind of 'camera fingerprint' where companies who   
   do such things can analyze these patterns (sometimes called sensor noise   
   patterns or PRNU) to determine that two photos came from the same device,   
   even if the photos were never repeated on the various platforms themselves.   
      
   Ten seconds and we can drastically prevent that correlation fingerprint.   
   But we have to be knowledgeable enough to know how privacy actually works.

   Privacy is a feature you build yourself into everything you touch & use.
