Most of us would shy away from making purchases in a foreign country if we didn’t know the exchange rate. Yet, if privacy is the true currency of the Internet, as many argue, millions of us are doing that very thing every day. Meanwhile, Internet giants amend their privacy policies in ways that allow them to harvest and sell even more of our personal data. While privacy campaigners protest, users generally vote with their clicks and carry on regardless.
So should we conclude the Internet generation is happy to trade its privacy for free or cheaper Web services? Not according to Nicola Jentzsch of the German Institute of Research in Berlin, and colleagues, who last week published research showing that most people prefer to protect their personal data when given a choice and that a significant proportion are willing to pay extra to do so.
The researchers directed 443 students to a website offering tickets for a real movie showing, sold by two different vendors(商贩). Although the tickets were subsidized, the volunteers, who were able to purchase one, two, or no tickets, had to pay most of the cost themselves.
When both vendors offered tickets at the same price but only one required customers to enter their cell phone number, the more privacy-friendly vendor got 83% of sales. When participants were offered the same choice, but with an additional charge of 50 euro cents from the privacy-friendly cinema, its market share fell to 31% .
" It turns out that when you are good on privacy you can charge more and make a greater profit," says Alessandro Acquisti of the University of Cambridge, one of the authors of the study, published by the European Network and Information Security Agency.
" What people say in surveys is that they care about privacy, but what they actually do is spend their time constantly updating their status on Facebook," says Acquisti. " This has led some to conclude that people no longer care about privacy. This new data, along with similar work we have done in the U. S. , shows this is not the case, and that the desire for privacy is not dead after all. "
According to the passage, many people believe that______.
选项
A、we can benefit from selling our personal data
B、Internet giants should perfect their privacy policies
C、our privacy is the true currency of the Internet
D、privacy campaigners should vote with their clicks
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。本题考查关于个人隐私的细节。定位句中的argue相当于题干中的believe,因此asmany argue前面的内容就是许多人所相信的东西,即隐私是互联网货币,故答案为C)。A)“我们可以从出售个人数据中获利”并不是许多人相信的,故排除;B)“互联网巨头们应该完善他们的隐私政策”是对原文意思的曲解,原文说的是互联网巨头们修改他们的隐私政策以获得并出售我们的更多个人信息,故排除;D)“倡导保护隐私的运动人士应该用鼠标投票”与原文意思不符,故排除。
