Congrats Kiyoshi
For being quoted in the New York Times!
Web Privacy
Here are some things Internet users can discover about Kiyoshi Martinez, a 24-year-old man from Mokena, Ill., from some of his recent posts online. He watched “The Colbert Report” on Tuesday night, he likes the musician Lenlow and he received bottles of olive oil and vinegar for his birthday. Mr. Martinez has Facebook and LinkedIn pages, a Twitter account and a Web site that includes his résumé.
So it is surprising to learn that Mr. Martinez, an aide in the Illinois Senate, is also vigilant about his privacy online.
“I’m pretty aware of the fact that anything you do on the Internet pretty much should just be considered public,” Mr. Martinez said. While he knows that companies are collecting his data and often tracking his online habits so they can show him more relevant ads, he said, he would like to see more transparency “about what the company intends to do with your data and your information.”
“Like all privacy matters, it’s something that people need to be informed on,” Mr. Martinez said.
So, what’s next for Kiyoshi? I’m expecting him to be quoted in Sports Illustrated soon for his comment on the Brett Favre scenario and about the Olympics. Because that would make sense (sarcasm).
Kiyoshi Martinez used to co-write with me on LameRerun.com and you can find some of his writings here. He’s also creator and moderator of AngryJournalist.com and you can read more of his blog here.
