Computerization, Discretion, Freedom
Sergey Bratus, Anna Shubina
December 31, 2015
Surveillance of social networking, pervasive user tracking in hopes of reaping
profits promised by “big data”, and ubiquitous failure to secure stockpiled
personal data went from being the concern of the few to making mainstream
media. We’ve learned that what hurts privacy is also likely to hurt freedom. But,
despite all these revelations, the worst and the most pervasive danger of
computerizing our everyday lives has so far avoided public attention: that
computers modify our behaviors related to discretion, professional autonomy, and,
ultimately, moral choice.
Computerization changes every area of human activity it touches, by bringing
new rules and new metrics. With enough of these at work, humans must act with an
eye to not just what they do (or should do) in the actual real-world situations, but also
to how it will look in the computer representation of it—and the latter are never
complete. And when they disagree, one must either spend the extra time and effort
“fighting the system”, bend the rules—or give up.

Saumil's Theorem of Solution Spaces
"The Solution to any Problem lies in
a distinctly different space than
the problem space itself."
Derivation: "Don't try to solve Technology
problems with more technology"
