The blog post I read
was from Librarian in Black and the post itself was titled “Adobe Spies on
eBook Readers, including Library Users”. The post talked about how the company
Adobe was secretly collecting data on consumers of their product Adobe Digital
Collections and how it is a possible breach of privacy to do this. What
interested me about this post is how this can effect libraries and the fact
that libraries and their users who have been subscribed to this program have
been having their personal information collected by this company for so long
without any of the larger library associations trying to stop it. I feel that
this sort of privacy breach could be seen as a precedent for other data
collection taking place without our knowledge or consent so this is a topic I
will follow further.
It is a topic that will remain relevant, most certainly.
