當你上網瀏覽時，網站會收集你的資料。網路追蹤並不是百分之一百邪惡 -- 你的個人資料可以讓你上網更有效率；cookies （網站植入的追蹤小檔案）可以幫助你所喜歡的網站有生意可做。但是蓋瑞說，你有權利知道誰在收集你的資料，以及這個行為如何影響到你的網路生活。他發表一個新的火狐瀏覽器附加元件，可以讓你反追蹤網蹤行為。

I don't know why, but I'm continually amazed to think
0
594
3225
不知道為什麼 每當我想到
00:19
that two and a half billion of us around the world
1
3819
2598
這世界有25億人口
00:22
are connected to each other through the Internet
2
6417
2416
透過網路連結在一起
00:24
and that at any point in time
3
8833
2125
而且在任何時間點
00:26
more than 30 percent of the world's population
4
10958
2750
都有超過百分之三十的世界人口
00:29
can go online to learn, to create and to share.
5
13708
5115
在網路上學習 創作或分享，我總覺得驚奇
00:34
And the amount of time each of us is spending doing all of this
6
18823
3563
而我們花在網路上做這些事的時間
00:38
is also continuing to go grow.
7
22386
1781
也不斷增加
00:40
A recent study showed
8
24167
1458
最近一項研究顯示
00:41
that the young generation alone
9
25625
1500
光是年輕一代
00:43
is spending over eight hours a day online.
10
27125
3271
每天就花了超過八小時在網路上
00:46
As the parent of a nine-year-old girl,
11
30396
2166
身為一個九歲大女兒的爸爸
00:48
that number seems awfully low.
12
32562
2213
這個數字好像還太低
00:50
(Laughter)
13
34775
1350
（笑聲）
00:52
But just as the Internet has opened up the world for each and every one of us,
14
36125
4073
但正如網路讓我們每一個人的世界更開闊
00:56
it has also opened up each and every one of us to the world.
15
40198
3675
它也讓世界更容易找到我們每一個人
00:59
And increasingly, the price we're being asked to pay
16
43873
2856
而因為這樣的連結而不斷的
01:02
for all of this connectedness
17
46729
1251
日益增加的代價
01:03
is our privacy.
18
47980
2014
就是我們的隱私權
01:05
Today, what many of us would love to believe
19
49994
3996
今天 很多人都一廂情願地以為
01:09
is that the Internet is a private place; it's not.
20
53990
3005
網路是個私密的場所 事實並非如此
01:12
And with every click of the mouse and every touch of the screen,
21
56995
3085
你每點一次滑鼠 每滑一下螢幕
01:15
we are like Hansel and Gretel
22
60080
2350
我們就像童話〈糖果屋〉裡的漢森與葛萊特
01:18
leaving breadcrumbs of our personal information
23
62430
2570
處處留下個人資料的麵包屑
01:20
everywhere we travel through the digital woods.
24
65000
2442
在這個數字森林裡
01:23
We are leaving our birthdays, our places of residence,
25
67442
4850
我們留下我們的生日 住的地方
01:28
our interests and preferences,
26
72292
2362
我們的興趣 喜好
01:30
our relationships,
27
74654
2089
我們的人際關係
01:32
our financial histories, and on and on it goes.
28
76743
3761
我們的財務狀況 許許多多的東西
01:36
Now don't get me wrong,
29
80504
1996
不要誤會
01:38
I'm not for one minute suggesting that sharing data is a bad thing.
30
82500
3487
我不是來這裡說資料共享是壞事
01:41
In fact, when I know the data that's being shared
31
85987
2378
事實上 當我知道某個網站要共享我的資料
01:44
and I'm asked explicitly for my consent,
32
88365
2760
而且很慎重的來徵求我的同意
01:47
I want some sites to understand my habits.
33
91125
2417
我會讓這些網站瞭解我的嗜好
01:49
It helps them suggest books for me to read
34
93542
2398
他們可以藉此推薦適合我的書
01:51
or movies for my family to watch
35
95940
2335
適合我家觀賞的電影
01:54
or friends for us to connect with.
36
98275
2456
甚至替我們找到朋友
01:56
But when I don't know and when I haven't been asked,
37
100731
3081
但當我不知道我的資料被共享 也沒人來問我
01:59
that's when the problem arises.
38
103812
2596
問題就來了
02:02
It's a phenomenon on the Internet today
39
106408
1717
這就是現今網路普遍存在的現象
02:04
called behavioral tracking,
40
108125
1750
叫做行為追蹤
02:05
and it is very big business.
41
109875
1667
這是非常龐大的商機
02:07
In fact, there's an entire industry formed
42
111542
2458
事實上 有一個行業因此形成
02:09
around following us through the digital woods
43
114000
2337
在這個數字森林裡跟蹤我們
02:12
and compiling a profile on each of us.
44
116337
2344
收集每個人的資料
02:14
And when all of that data is held,
45
118681
1915
當他們得到這些資料
02:16
they can do almost whatever they want with it.
46
120596
3452
他們可以用那些資料做任何他們想做的事情
02:19
This is an area today that has very few regulations
47
124048
3369
現在可以管這個領域的法規還很少
02:23
and even fewer rules.
48
127417
1750
更不用談法律了
02:25
Except for some of the recent announcements here in the United States and in Europe,
49
129167
3583
除了最近美國及歐洲發佈了一些相關聲明
02:28
it's an area of consumer protection that's almost entirely naked.
50
132750
4125
這個領域幾乎沒有消費者保護
02:32
So let me expose this lurking industry a little bit further.
51
136875
3404
讓我多透露一點這個偷窺業的行為
02:36
The visualization you see forming behind me is called Collusion
52
140279
3706
你現在看到 在我背後的視覺化圖像叫 Collusion（共謀）
02:39
and it's an experimental browser add-on
53
143985
3473
這是個實驗性的瀏覽器附加元件
02:43
that you can install in your Firefox browser
54
147458
2167
你可以安裝在火狐瀏覽器上
02:45
that helps you see where your Web data is going and who's tracking you.
55
149625
4696
讓你看到你的網路資料去了哪 以及誰在追蹤你
02:50
The red dots you see up there
56
154321
2596
你在這裡看到的紅點
02:52
are sites that are behavioral tracking
57
156917
1916
是會做行為追蹤的網站
02:54
that I have not navigated to, but are following me.
58
158833
3209
我並沒有去瀏覽這些網站 但是他們會跟蹤我
02:57
The blue dots are the sites that I've actually navigated directly to.
59
162042
3148
藍色的點則是我實際去看了的網站
03:01
And the gray dots are sites that are also tracking me,
60
165190
3366
而這些灰色的點也是在追蹤我的網站
03:04
but I have no idea who they are.
61
168556
2100
但我不知道它們是誰
03:06
All of them are connected, as you can see,
62
170656
2094
這些網站都連結在一起 正如你所見
03:08
to form a picture of me on the Web.
63
172750
2250
形成網路上的我
03:10
And this is my profile.
64
175000
1542
這就是我的簡歷
03:12
So let me go from an example to something very specific and personal.
65
176542
3410
我現在舉一個具體的親身經歷
03:15
I installed Collusion in my own laptop two weeks ago
66
179952
3423
兩週前我在我的筆電上裝了Collusion
03:19
and I let it follow me around for what was a pretty typical day.
67
183375
3010
我讓它追蹤我平常的網路行為
03:22
Now like most of you,
68
186385
2298
就像大部份的人一樣
03:24
I actually start my day going online and checking email.
69
188683
3621
我從上網看電郵開始一天
03:28
I then go to a news site, look for some headlines.
70
192304
2839
然後我去新聞網站看看頭條
03:31
And in this particular case I happened to like one of them
71
195143
3524
在這裡我剛好喜歡一段
03:34
on the merits of music literacy in schools
72
198667
3416
有關學校教音樂素養的好處的報導
03:37
and I shared it over a social network.
73
202083
2250
我把它貼在一個社群網站上分享
03:40
Our daughter then joined us at the breakfast table,
74
204333
2667
然後我的女兒跟我們一起吃了早餐
03:42
and I asked her, "Is there an emphasis on music literacy in your school?"
75
207000
4250
在餐桌上我問她 你學校有沒有特別強調音樂素養
03:47
And she, of course, naturally as a nine-year-old,
76
211250
2000
她很自然的 就像一般的九歲小孩
03:49
looked at me and said quizzically, "What's literacy?"
77
213250
2119
一臉疑惑地看著我 問 什麼是素養
03:51
So I sent her online, of course, to look it up.
78
215369
3756
所以我當然是讓她去網上查
03:55
Now let me stop here.
79
219125
2125
故事先在這暫停一下
03:57
We are not even two bites into breakfast
80
221250
2780
到現在為止我們還沒吃兩口早餐
03:59
and there are already nearly 25 sites that are tracking me.
81
224030
4316
已經有將近25個網站在追蹤我
04:04
I have navigated to a total of four.
82
228346
3258
而我全部只看了四個網站
04:07
So let me fast-forward through the rest of my day.
83
231604
3290
我快快地說一下其餘的一天的狀況
04:10
I go to work, I check email,
84
234910
2281
我去上班 看電子郵件
04:13
I log onto a few more social sites, I blog,
85
237191
2690
我又登錄了幾個社群網站 寫部落格
04:15
I check more news reports, I share some of those news reports,
86
239881
3494
又看了幾個新聞 也在網上分享了一下
04:19
I go look at some videos,
87
243375
2062
還看了一些影片
04:21
pretty typical day -- in this case, actually fairly pedantic --
88
245437
4563
很普通的一天 正確來說是很迂腐的一天
04:25
and at the end of the day, as my day winds down,
89
250000
3042
一天盡了 接近尾聲
04:28
look at my profile.
90
253042
3041
再來看看我的簡歷
04:31
The red dots have exploded.
91
256083
2090
紅點多到爆
04:34
The gray dots have grown exponentially.
92
258173
2606
灰點也成等比增加
04:36
All in all, there's over 150 sites
93
260779
2540
全部加起來 超過150個網站
04:39
that are now tracking my personal information,
94
263319
2931
在追蹤我的個人資料
04:42
most all of them without my consent.
95
266250
2842
絕大部份網站都沒經過我的同意
04:44
I look at this picture and it freaks me out.
96
269092
3247
我看著這圖 簡直嚇壞了
04:48
This is nothing. I am being stalked across the Web.
97
272339
4482
這沒什麼！ 就是我在網路上被跟蹤罷了！
04:52
And why is this happening?
98
276821
2317
為什麼會發生這種事
04:55
Pretty simple -- it's huge business.
99
279138
2370
很簡單 這是很大的商機
04:57
The revenue of the top handful of companies in this space
100
281508
2575
在這行最賺錢的幾家公司
04:59
is over 39 billion dollars today.
101
284083
2375
收入超過390億
05:02
And as adults, we're certainly not alone.
102
286458
2923
而且成人不是唯一被追蹤的對象
05:05
At the same time I installed my own Collusion profile,
103
289381
2994
就在我安裝Collusion的時候
05:08
I installed one for my daughter.
104
292375
3333
我也替我女兒裝了一個
05:11
And on one single Saturday morning, over two hours on the Internet,
105
295708
3375
單單一個星期六早上 在網上逛了兩個多小時
05:14
here's her Collusion profile.
106
299083
3142
你現在看到的是她的Collusion簡歷
05:18
This is a nine-year-old girl
107
302225
2895
這是一個九歲大的女孩
05:21
navigating to principally children's sites.
108
305120
3825
主要在瀏覽兒童的網站
05:24
I move from this, from freaked out to enraged.
109
308945
3472
我的反應從嚇壞了到非常生氣
05:28
This is no longer me being a tech pioneer or a privacy advocate;
110
312417
4710
我不再以科技先鋒或隱私維權者的身份說話
05:33
this is me being a parent.
111
317127
1600
我現在是以一個父親的角色說話
05:34
Imagine in the physical world
112
318727
1565
想像一下在真實的世界
05:36
if somebody followed our children around with a camera and a notebook
113
320292
3287
如果有人以照相機及筆記本跟蹤我們的小孩
05:39
and recorded their every movement.
114
323579
2026
記錄下他們的每一個舉動
05:41
I can tell you, there isn't a person in this room that would sit idly by.
115
325605
3520
我告訴你 在座沒有一個父母能坐視不管
05:45
We'd take action. It may not be good action, but we would take action.
116
329125
3425
我們會採取行動 不見得是很好的舉動 但我們一定會行動
05:48
(Laughter)
117
332550
1346
（笑聲）
05:49
We can't sit idly by here either.
118
333896
2065
同樣的 我們也不能在此坐視不動
05:51
This is happening today.
119
335961
2058
這就是今天的現實狀況
05:53
Privacy is not an option,
120
338019
2202
隱私權不是一種選擇
05:56
and it shouldn't be the price we accept
121
340221
1841
它不應該是我們為了上網
05:57
for just getting on the Internet.
122
342062
1706
所付上的代價
05:59
Our voices matter and our actions matter even more.
123
343768
3617
我們的呼聲固然重要 行動更重要
06:03
Today we've launched Collusion.
124
347385
3073
今天我們要正式啟用Collusion
06:06
You can download it, install it in Firefox,
125
350458
2167
你可以下載裝在火狐瀏覽器上
06:08
to see who is tracking you across the Web
126
352625
2542
來看看誰在網路上追蹤你
06:11
and following you through the digital woods.
127
355167
2381
跟著你在數字森林裡走來走去
06:13
Going forward, all of our voices need to be heard.
128
357548
3062
向前看 我們的聲音需要被重視
06:16
Because what we don't know can actually hurt us.
129
360610
3140
因為我們不知道的事其實會傷害我們
06:19
Because the memory of the Internet is forever.
130
363750
2625
因為網路記憶是永遠的
06:22
We are being watched.
131
366375
1679
我們被窺視
06:23
It's now time for us to watch the watchers.
132
368054
2715
現在正是我們反窺視的時候
06:26
Thank you.
133
370769
1097
謝謝
06:27
(Applause)
