Sometimes our greatest lessons come from when the frame of what we believed to be true is spun around and flipped upside down.  The conversations among security professionals, policy makers and others about what privacy means has seen some dramatic shifts in the past year;  raising far more questions then answers.  To complicate things, when asking general users what privacy means, often the response is a recount of scary stories of data breaches, surveillance, and face-less hacker communities like Tor.  As this unique journey into information security and time as a member of the Tor Project team will illustrate - privacy is not a point fixed in time, but a constantly evolving parade of questions we, as security professionals, need to say in tune with all while re-framing our own definitions.
