Twenty-five二十五 years年份 ago, scientists科学家们 at CERNCERN
created创建 the World世界 Wide Web卷筒纸.

1066
5108
25年前,欧洲核能研究所
的科学家们创造了万维网。
00:18
Since以来 then, the Internet互联网 has transformed改造
the way we communicate通信,
1
6174
3909
从那时起,互联网改变了
我们的沟通方式、
00:22
the way we do business商业,
and even the way we live生活.
2
10083
3462
贸易方式、甚至生活方式。
00:25
In many许多 ways方法,
3
13545
2172
很大意义上,
00:27
the ideas思路 that gave birth分娩 to Google谷歌,
FacebookFacebook的, Twitter推特, and so many许多 others其他,
4
15717
4825
这些想法催生了谷歌、脸书、
推特和其他许多公司,
00:32
have now really transformed改造 our lives生活,
5
20542
2604
也真正改变了我们的生活。
00:35
and this has brought us many许多 real真实 benefits好处
such这样 as a more connected连接的 society社会.
6
23146
4287
这为我们带来了许多实在的好处,
比如社会更加连结。
00:39
However然而, there are also
some downsides缺点 to this.
7
27433
2801
但是,这同时也带来一些不利之处。
如今,一个普通人可以在互联网上
00:43
Today今天, the average平均 person
has an astounding惊人 amount
8
31134
2833
00:45
of personal个人 information信息 online线上,
9
33967
2113
浏览到惊人的海量信息,
00:48
and we add to this online线上 information信息
every一切 single time we post岗位 on FacebookFacebook的,
10
36080
3657
我们每次在Facebook上发帖时
就创造了更多网上的信息,
00:51
each time we search搜索 on Google谷歌,
11
39737
2202
也包括每次用谷歌搜索,
00:53
and each time we send发送 an email电子邮件.
12
41939
1782
还有每次发送电邮。
00:56
Now, many许多 of us probably大概 think,
13
44341
2002
很多人也许会想:
00:58
well, one email电子邮件,
there's nothing in there, right?
14
46343
3110
一封电邮也没什么吧?
01:01
But if you consider考虑
a year's年份 worth价值 of emails电子邮件,
15
49453
3206
但是如果你考虑一年量的电邮,
01:04
or maybe even a lifetime一生 of email电子邮件,
16
52659
2902
甚至一生的电邮,
01:07
collectively, this tells告诉 a lot.
17
55561
2346
大量邮件能提供给很多信息:
01:09
It tells告诉 where we have been,
who we have met会见,
18
57907
3563
我们去过哪里,见过谁,
01:13
and in many许多 ways方法,
even what we're thinking思维 about.
19
61470
3239
甚至很大意义上,我们在想什么。
01:16
And the more scary害怕 part部分 about this is
our data数据 now lasts持续 forever永远,
20
64709
4377
更可怕的是,我们的信息能被永久留存,
01:21
so your data数据 can and will outlive活得比 you.
21
69086
3007
你的信息能够而且将要比你活得长。
01:24
What has happened发生 is that we've我们已经 largely大部分
lost丢失 control控制 over our data数据
22
72093
3529
现在的情况是我们已经
无法控制自己的信息,
01:27
and also our privacy隐私.
23
75622
2322
和我们的隐私。
01:29
So this year, as the web卷筒纸 turns 25,
24
77944
3530
今年,互联网创建25周年,
01:33
it's very important重要 for us
to take a moment时刻
25
81474
2298
我们必须停下来
01:35
and think about the implications启示 of this.
26
83772
2532
考虑这其中隐藏的含义。
01:38
We have to really think.
27
86304
1702
我们必须认真考虑。
01:40
We've我们已经 lost丢失 privacy隐私, yes,
28
88006
1790
是的,我们失去了隐私,
01:41
but actually其实 what we've我们已经 also lost丢失
is the idea理念 of privacy隐私 itself本身.
29
89796
3329
但其实我们也失去了
隐私这个概念。
01:45
If you think about it,
30
93995
1754
如果你仔细想想,
01:47
most of us here today今天 probably大概 remember记得
what life was like before the Internet互联网,
31
95749
4014
今天在座各位也许记得
没有互联网的生活是怎样的。
01:51
but today今天, there's a new generation
32
99763
2542
但是,如今,新一代年轻人,
01:54
that is being存在 taught from a very young年轻 age年龄
to share分享 everything online线上,
33
102305
3420
从小被教育在网上分享一切,
01:57
and this is a generation that is not
going to remember记得 when data数据 was private私人的.
34
105725
4479
这一代人不会记得信息私隐的时代。
02:02
So we keep going down this road,
20 years年份 from now,
35
110204
3388
如果我们一直这样下去,20年以后,
02:05
the word 'privacy''隐私' is going to have
a completely全然 different不同 meaning含义
36
113592
3096
“隐私”的含义将会变得完全不同
02:08
from what it means手段 to you and I.
37
116688
2285
完全不同于今日我们的理解。
02:10
So, it's time for us
to take a moment时刻 and think,
38
118973
2440
所以,现在我们需要认真考虑,
02:13
is there anything we can do about this?
39
121413
2807
我们能对此做些什么吗?
02:16
And I believe there is.
40
124220
2485
我相信能。
02:18
Let's take a look at one of the most
widely广泛 used forms形式 of communication通讯
41
126705
3561
让我们来看看如今世界上
最广泛使用的通讯方式:电子邮件。
02:22
in the world世界 today今天: email电子邮件.
42
130266
2267
02:24
Before the invention发明 of email电子邮件,
we largely大部分 communicated传达 using运用 letters,
43
132533
3761
电邮发明之前,
我们主要靠写信来通讯。
02:28
and the process处理 was quite相当 simple简单.
44
136294
2322
写信的过程很简单。
02:30
You would first start开始 by writing写作
your message信息 on a piece of paper,
45
138616
3112
你首先将信息写在一张纸上,
02:33
then you would place地点 it
into a sealed密封 envelope信封,
46
141728
2404
然后把纸放入信封,封上信封,
02:36
and from there,
you would go ahead and send发送 it
47
144132
2255
写上地址,贴上邮票,
02:38
after you put a stamp邮票 and address地址 on it.
48
146387
1958
然后把这封信寄出去。
02:40
Unfortunately不幸, today今天,
49
148345
1480
不幸的是,如今,
02:41
when we actually其实 send发送 an email电子邮件,
we're not sending发出 a letter.
50
149825
2817
我们发送的电邮并不是一封信件,
02:44
What you are sending发出, in many许多 ways方法,
is actually其实 a postcard明信片,
51
152642
2775
某种意义上,更像是寄明信片,
02:47
and it's a postcard明信片 in the sense
that everybody每个人 that sees看到 it
52
155417
3647
因为从电邮离开你电脑的那一刻,
02:51
from the time it leaves树叶 your computer电脑
to when it gets得到 to the recipient接受者
53
159064
3635
到收件人收到电邮的那一刻,
这其中能看到这封邮件的人,
02:54
can actually其实 read the entire整个 contents内容.
54
162699
2620
能够浏览邮件的所有内容。
02:57
So, the solution to this
has been known已知 for some time,
55
165319
3459
解决这个问题的方法早已存在,
03:00
and there's many许多 attempts尝试 to do it.
56
168778
1843
而且很多人都尝试过。
03:02
The most basic基本 solution
is to use encryption加密,
57
170621
3149
最基本的解决方法是使用加密,
03:05
and the idea理念 is quite相当 simple简单.
58
173770
1927
方法很简单。
03:07
First, you encrypt加密 the connection连接
59
175697
1769
首先,电脑终端与服务器
之间的连接会被加密,
03:09
between之间 your computer电脑
and the email电子邮件 server服务器.
60
177466
2608
首先,电脑终端与服务器
之间的连接会被加密,
03:12
Then, you also encrypt加密 the data数据
as it sits坐镇 on the server服务器 itself本身.
61
180074
3626
然后,服务器上的信息也会被加密。
03:15
But there's a problem问题 with this,
62
183700
1946
但是,这个方法有一个问题:
03:17
and that is, the email电子邮件 servers服务器
also hold保持 the encryption加密 keys按键,
63
185646
2949
加密钥匙也在邮件服务器中。
03:20
so now you have a really big lock
with a key placed放置 right next下一个 to it.
64
188595
4385
这就像一把大锁,但钥匙就放在旁边。
03:24
But not only that, any government政府
could lawfully合法地 ask for
65
192980
3231
不仅如此,任何政府都能够合法要求
03:28
and get the key to your data数据,
66
196211
2230
得到你的加密钥匙,
03:30
and this is all without you
being存在 aware知道的 of it.
67
198441
2623
而你对此却完全不知情。
03:33
So the way we fix固定 this problem问题
is actually其实 relatively相对 easy简单, in principle原理:
68
201064
5273
问题的解决方法非常简单,大体上:
03:38
You give everybody每个人 their own拥有 keys按键,
69
206337
2402
给所有人一把钥匙,
03:40
and then you make sure the server服务器
doesn't actually其实 have the keys按键.
70
208739
3273
并确保服务器上没有钥匙。
03:44
This seems似乎 like common共同 sense, right?
71
212012
2136
这个方法好像很简单。
03:46
So the question that comes up is,
why hasn't有没有 this been doneDONE yet然而?
72
214148
3603
所以问题是:为什么没有人这么做?
03:50
Well, if we really think about it,
73
218261
2535
如果我们仔细想想,
03:52
we see that the business商业 model模型
of the Internet互联网 today今天
74
220796
2925
今天互联网的商业模式
03:55
really isn't compatible兼容 with privacy隐私.
75
223721
2067
其实与隐私不相容。
03:57
Just take a look at some
of the biggest最大 names on the web卷筒纸,
76
225788
2786
在一些大型网络公司,
04:00
and you see that advertising广告
plays播放 a huge巨大 role角色.
77
228574
2927
广告占有很重要的地位。
04:03
In fact事实, this year alone单独,
advertising广告 is 137 billion十亿 dollars美元,
78
231501
4828
实际上,仅今年内,
广告收入就有1370亿美元,
04:08
and to optimize优化 the ads广告
that are shown显示 to us,
79
236329
2171
而为了优化广告效果,
04:10
companies公司 have to know
everything about us.
80
238500
2133
公司必须了解用户的一切。
他们需要知道我们住在哪里,
04:12
They need to know where we live生活,
81
240633
1919
年龄、喜欢和不喜欢什么,
04:14
how old we are, what we like,
what we don't like,
82
242552
3655
还有他们能获得的所有信息。
04:18
and anything else其他
they can get their hands on.
83
246207
2162
04:20
And if you think about it,
84
248369
1729
仔细想想,
最有效的途径便是入侵我们的隐私。
04:22
the best最好 way to get this information信息
is really just to invade入侵 our privacy隐私.
85
250098
4148
04:26
So these companies公司
aren't going to give us our privacy隐私.
86
254246
3191
所以这些公司并不允许我们保留隐私。
04:29
If we want to have privacy隐私 online线上,
87
257437
1815
如果我们想要在网络上保留隐私,
04:31
what we have to do is
we've我们已经 got to go out and get it ourselves我们自己.
88
259252
3543
我们就必须自己去争取。
04:34
For many许多 years年份, when it came来了 to email电子邮件,
89
262795
2268
这么多年来,对电邮来说,
04:37
the only solution
was something known已知 as PGPPGP,
90
265063
2915
唯一的方法就是PGP(良好隐私密码法)
04:39
which哪一个 was quite相当 complicated复杂
and only accessible无障碍 to the tech-savvy技术娴熟.
91
267978
3214
但这个方法非常复杂,
只有精通技术的人才懂得如何使用。
04:43
Here's这里的 a diagram that basically基本上 shows节目
92
271192
2418
这个图解表示了
04:45
the process处理 for encrypting加密
and decrypting解密 messages消息.
93
273610
2735
加密和解密信息的过程。
04:48
So needless不必要 to say,
this is not a solution for everybody每个人,
94
276345
2886
不用说,这并不是适合大众的解决方法。
04:51
and this actually其实 is part部分 of the problem问题,
95
279231
3132
而这也是问题之一,
04:54
because if you think about communication通讯,
96
282363
2462
因为通讯的定义
04:56
by definition定义, it involves涉及
having someone有人 to communicate通信 with.
97
284825
4355
涉及交流对象。
05:01
So while PGPPGP does a great job工作
of what it's designed设计 to do,
98
289180
3214
因此尽管PGP非常有效,
05:04
for the people out there
who can't understand理解 how to use it,
99
292394
2821
但对于不会使用的人来说,
05:07
the option选项 to communicate通信 privately私自
simply只是 does not exist存在.
100
295215
2902
通讯隐私方法其实不存在。
05:10
And this is a problem问题
that we need to solve解决.
101
298117
3008
这是我们需要解决的问题。
05:13
So if we want to have privacy隐私 online线上,
102
301125
1998
如果我们想要有网上隐私,
05:15
the only way we can succeed成功
is if we get the whole整个 world世界 on board,
103
303123
3319
唯一的方法就是向所有人提供隐私,
05:18
and this is only possible可能
if we bring带来 down the barrier屏障 to entry条目.
104
306442
3251
我们必须把门槛降低。
05:21
I think this is actually其实 the key challenge挑战
that lies in the tech高科技 community社区.
105
309693
3529
我认为这是科技圈内的关键挑战。
05:25
What we really have to do
is work and make privacy隐私 more accessible无障碍.
106
313222
4063
我们真正要做的就是
将保护隐私变得更容易。
05:29
So last summer夏季, when
the Edward爱德华 Snowden斯诺登 story故事 came来了 out,
107
317285
2996
去年夏天,当斯诺登的事件登出时,
05:32
several一些 colleagues同事 and I decided决定 to see
if we could make this happen发生.
108
320281
3615
我和一些同事决定试试看
我们是否能够达成这个目标。
05:35
At that time, we were working加工 at the
European欧洲的 Organization组织 for Nuclear Research研究
109
323896
4987
当时我们在欧洲核能研究所工作,
05:40
at the world's世界 largest最大 particle粒子 collider对撞机,
which哪一个 collides碰撞 protons质子, by the way.
110
328883
3731
那里有世界上最大型的粒子对撞器。
05:44
We were all scientists科学家们,
so we used our scientific科学 creativity创造力
111
332614
3445
我们都是科学家,
所以我们运用了科学的创意
05:48
and came来了 up with a very
creative创作的 name名称 for our project项目:
112
336059
2624
为项目想出了一个新颖的名字:
质子邮箱 (ProtonMail)。(笑声)
05:51
ProtonMailProtonMail.
(Laughter笑声)
113
339293
2096
05:53
Many许多 startups初创公司 these days
actually其实 begin开始 in people's人们 garages车库
114
341389
2868
现在的很多创业公司
都是从车库、地下室里开始的。
05:56
or people's人们 basements地下室.
115
344257
1684
05:57
We were a bit different不同.
116
345941
1497
我们不太一样。
05:59
We started开始 out at the CERNCERN cafeteria自助餐馆,
117
347438
2643
我们是从欧洲核能研究所的食堂开始,
06:02
which哪一个 actually其实 is great, because look,
118
350081
2456
这其实很不错,因为
06:04
you have all the food餐饮
and water you could ever want.
119
352537
2473
你可以有食物和水。
06:07
But even better than this
is that every一切 day
120
355010
2480
但是更棒的是
每天中午12点到2点,
06:09
between之间 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.,
free自由 of charge收费,
121
357490
3971
你都能免费见到
几千个科学家和工程师,
06:13
the CERNCERN cafeteria自助餐馆 comes with
several一些 thousand scientists科学家们 and engineers工程师,
122
361461
4249
06:17
and these guys basically基本上 know
the answers答案 to everything.
123
365710
2786
他们基本上无所不知,
06:20
So it was in this environment环境
that we began开始 working加工.
124
368496
2787
这就是我们一开始的工作环境。
06:23
What we actually其实 want to do
is we want to take your email电子邮件
125
371283
3111
我们实际要做的就是,
将你的邮件变成这样子,
06:26
and turn it into something
that looks容貌 more like this,
126
374394
3460
06:29
but more importantly重要的,
we want to do it in a way
127
377854
2275
更重要的是,我们希望你无需操作
06:32
that you can't even tell
that it's happened发生.
128
380129
2145
就达成这个效果。
所以我们需要技术与设计的结合。
06:34
So to do this, we actually其实 need
a combination组合 of technology技术
129
382274
2987
06:37
and also design设计.
130
385261
1587
所以我们需要技术与设计的结合。
06:38
So how do we go about
doing something like this?
131
386848
2290
那我们要如何做到?
06:42
Well, it's probably大概 a good idea理念
not to put the keys按键 on the server服务器.
132
390018
4154
不把钥匙放在服务器上
也许是个好想法,
我们要在你的电脑中生成钥匙,
06:46
So what we do is we generate生成
encryption加密 keys按键 on your computer电脑,
133
394172
3898
06:50
and we don't generate生成 a single key,
but actually其实 a pair of keys按键,
134
398070
3788
而且不只是一把钥匙,而是一对钥匙,
06:53
so there's an RSARSA private私人的 key
and an RSARSA public上市 key,
135
401858
3705
RSA私钥与公钥各有一把。
这两个钥匙在算术上是关联的。
06:57
and these keys按键
are mathematically数学 connected连接的.
136
405563
2628
07:00
So let's have a look
and see how this works作品
137
408191
2205
让我们来看看多人通信的时候
07:02
when multiple people communicate通信.
138
410396
2391
这个方法如何作用。
Bob和Alice想要私下通信。
07:04
So here we have Bob短发 and Alice爱丽丝,
who want to communicate通信 privately私自.
139
412787
4445
关键因素是把Bob的信息
07:09
So the key challenge挑战
is to take Bob's鲍勃的 message信息
140
417232
3562
传送给Alice,
并且让服务器无法阅读此信息。
07:12
and to get it to Alice爱丽丝 in such这样 a way
that the server服务器 cannot不能 read that message信息.
141
420794
4309
07:17
So what we have to do
is we have to encrypt加密 it
142
425103
2413
在Bob的讯息离开电脑前
07:19
before it even leaves树叶 Bob's鲍勃的 computer电脑,
143
427516
2124
我们就将它加密,
窍门之一就是我们使用
Alice电脑上的公钥来加密。
07:21
and one of the tricks技巧 is, we encrypt加密 it
using运用 the public上市 key from Alice爱丽丝.
144
429640
4501
现在加密的讯息
通过服务器传送给Alice,
07:26
Now this encrypted加密 data数据 is sent发送
through通过 the server服务器 to Alice爱丽丝,
145
434141
5192
因为信息经Alice的公钥加密,
07:31
and because the message信息 was encrypted加密
using运用 Alice'sAlice的 public上市 key,
146
439333
4280
07:35
the only key that can now decrypt解码 it
is a private私人的 key that belongs属于 to Alice爱丽丝,
147
443613
4288
只有Alice的私钥才能解开它。
07:39
and it turns out Alice爱丽丝 is the only person
that actually其实 has this key.
148
447901
4715
而这把私钥只有Alice拥有。
07:44
So we've我们已经 now accomplished完成 the objective目的,
149
452616
2668
至此我们做到了
将Bob的信息传送给Alice,
07:47
which哪一个 is to get the message信息
from Bob短发 to Alice爱丽丝
150
455284
2167
07:49
without the server服务器 being存在 able能够
to read what's going on.
151
457451
2692
又不让服务器解密此信息。
实际上,我刚才演示的
只是一个精简过程。
07:52
Actually其实, what I've shown显示 here
is a highly高度 simplified picture图片.
152
460143
2957
07:55
The reality现实 is much more complex复杂
153
463100
2005
实际上要复杂得多,
07:57
and it requires要求 a lot of software软件
that looks容貌 a bit like this.
154
465105
3714
而且需要许多像这样的软件程序。
这就是设计上的关键:
08:00
And that's actually其实
the key design设计 challenge挑战:
155
468819
2440
08:03
How do we take all this complexity复杂,
all this software软件,
156
471259
3521
如何把这么复杂的程序,
在用户毫不察觉下执行工作?
08:06
and implement实行 it in a way
that the user用户 cannot不能 see it.
157
474780
4118
08:10
I think with ProtonMailProtonMail,
we have gotten得到 pretty漂亮 close to doing this.
158
478898
3598
我认为ProtonMail已经很接近了。
08:14
So let's see how it works作品 in practice实践.
159
482496
2462
让我们来看看实际操作。
还是Bob和Alice,
08:16
Here, we've我们已经 got Bob短发 and Alice爱丽丝 again,
160
484958
3017
08:19
who also want to communicate通信 securely安全.
161
487975
1970
他们想安全地进行通信。
08:21
They simply只是 create创建 accounts账户 on ProtonMailProtonMail,
162
489945
2187
首先在ProtonMail上注册账号,
非常简单快捷,
08:24
which哪一个 is quite相当 simple简单
and takes a few少数 moments瞬间,
163
492132
2410
08:26
and all the key encryption加密 and generation
164
494542
2422
Bob创建账号时,
所有的加密和密钥的生成
08:28
is happening事件 automatically自动
in the background背景
165
496964
2390
08:31
as Bob短发 is creating创建 his account帐户.
166
499354
1706
都自动在后台发生。
创建好账号后,点击“写新邮件”,
08:33
Once一旦 his account帐户 is created创建,
he just clicks点击 "compose撰写,"
167
501060
2542
Bob就能够如常撰写邮件。
08:35
and now he can write his email电子邮件
like he does today今天.
168
503602
2987
他输入邮件信息,
08:38
So he fills填充 in his information信息,
169
506589
1867
然后点击“发送”,
08:40
and then after that,
all he has to do is click点击 "send发送,"
170
508456
3284
就像这样,无需任何密码学知识,
08:43
and just like that,
without understanding理解 cryptography加密,
171
511740
3541
就跟平时写电邮一样,
08:47
and without doing anything different不同
from how he writes email电子邮件 today今天,
172
515281
3553
Bob发送了一封加密的电邮。
08:50
Bob短发 has just sent发送 an encrypted加密 message信息.
173
518834
2647
08:53
What we have here
is really just the first step,
174
521481
4112
我们现在有的只是第一步,
但这说明,随着科技的进步,
08:57
but it shows节目 that
with improving提高 technology技术,
175
525593
2297
08:59
privacy隐私 doesn't have to be difficult,
it doesn't have to be disruptive破坏性.
176
527890
4175
保护隐私可以很简单。
09:04
If we change更改 the goal目标 from maximizing最大化
ad广告 revenue收入 to protecting保护 data数据,
177
532065
4447
如果我们将目标从广告收入最大化
转移到保护数据上,
09:08
we can actually其实 make it accessible无障碍.
178
536512
2496
我们就能普及这个方法。
09:11
Now, I know a question
on everybody's每个人的 minds头脑 is,
179
539008
2460
现在大家可能在想:
09:13
okay, protecting保护 privacy隐私,
this is a great goal目标,
180
541468
2390
好吧,保护隐私这个目标听起来不错,
09:15
but can you actually其实 do this
181
543858
2440
但如果没有广告带来的巨额收入
09:18
without the tons of money
that advertisements广告 give you?
182
546298
2792
你能完成这个目标吗?
我认为这是可能的。
09:21
And I think the answer回答 is actually其实 yes,
183
549090
2386
09:23
because today今天, we've我们已经 reached到达 a point
184
551476
2230
因为如今,
全世界的人已经了解到隐私的重要性,
09:25
where people around the world世界 really
understand理解 how important重要 privacy隐私 is,
185
553706
3946
于是一切皆有可能。
09:29
and when you have that,
anything is possible可能.
186
557652
2973
09:32
Earlier this year,
187
560625
1164
今年年初时,
09:33
ProtonMailProtonMail actually其实 had so many许多 users用户
that we ran out of resources资源,
188
561789
3665
ProtonMail的用户已经多到
我们无法提供资源的地步,
这之后,用户自发募捐了
09:37
and when this happened发生,
our community社区 of users用户 got together一起
189
565454
2829
50万美元。
09:40
and donated捐赠 half a million百万 dollars美元.
190
568283
2116
09:42
So this is just an example
of what can happen发生
191
570399
2431
这只是一个当大家团结时
09:44
when you bring带来 the community社区 together一起
towards a common共同 goal目标.
192
572830
2813
共同达到目标的例子。
我们可以影响整个世界。
09:47
We can also leverage杠杆作用 the world世界.
193
575643
1736
09:49
Right now,
194
577449
1148
现在,
09:50
we have a quarter25美分硬币 of a million百万 people
that have signed up for ProtonMailProtonMail,
195
578597
3426
我们有大约25万人注册了ProtonMail,
这些人来自世界各地,
09:54
and these people come from everywhere到处,
196
582023
1809
这表明了隐私问题
09:55
and this really shows节目 that privacy隐私
197
583832
1632
不仅仅是美国或欧洲的问题,
09:57
is not just an American美国
or a European欧洲的 issue问题,
198
585464
2252
09:59
it's a global全球 issue问题
that impacts影响 all of us.
199
587716
2345
这是一个影响所有人的全球问题。
10:02
It's something that we really
have to pay工资 attention注意 to going forward前锋.
200
590061
3460
我们如果想要进步,
就必须要认识这个问题。
那么,我们需要如何解决呢?
10:05
So what do we have to do
to solve解决 this problem问题?
201
593521
2996
10:08
Well, first of all,
202
596517
1997
第一,
我们需要给互联网一个全新的商业模式,
10:10
we need to support支持 a different不同
business商业 model模型 for the Internet互联网,
203
598514
2994
一个不需要完全依靠
广告收入的发展模式。
10:13
one that does not rely依靠
entirely完全 on advertisements广告
204
601508
2333
10:15
for revenue收入 and for growth发展.
205
603841
2334
一个不需要完全依靠
广告收入的发展模式。
10:18
We actually其实 need to build建立 a new Internet互联网
206
606175
2509
我们需要建立一个新的互联网,
让保护隐私和控制数据成为首要任务。
10:20
where our privacy隐私 and our ability能力
to control控制 our data数据 is first and foremost最重要的是.
207
608684
5693
但更加重要的是,
10:26
But even more importantly重要的,
208
614377
1745
10:28
we have to build建立 an Internet互联网
where privacy隐私 is no longer just an option选项
209
616122
4868
我们需要构建一个
保护隐私不仅是一个选择,
而是默认的网络世界。
10:32
but is also the default默认.
210
620990
1903
通过ProtonMail,我们完成了第一步。
10:35
We have doneDONE the first step
with ProtonMailProtonMail,
211
623923
2570
但这只是漫长旅程中的第一步。
10:38
but this is really just the first step
in a very, very long journey旅程.
212
626493
3581
今天我能与在座各位分享的好消息是,
10:42
The good news新闻 I can share分享
with you guys today今天,
213
630074
2923
我们在这个旅程上并不孤独。
10:44
the exciting扣人心弦 news新闻,
is that we're not traveling旅行 alone单独.
214
632997
2528
10:47
The movement运动 to protect保护 people's人们 privacy隐私
and freedom自由 online线上
215
635525
2850
保护网上隐私和自由的运动
10:50
is really gaining取得 momentum动量,
216
638375
1486
已经慢慢开始产生势头。
今天,全世界有许多的项目
10:51
and today今天, there are dozens许多 of projects项目
from all around the world世界
217
639861
3594
10:55
who are working加工 together一起
to improve提高 our privacy隐私.
218
643455
3511
在努力保护我们的隐私。
这些项目保护着我们的聊天和通话记录,
10:58
These projects项目 protect保护 things
from our chat to voice语音 communications通讯,
219
646966
3646
以及文件存储、网上搜索、
11:02
also our file文件 storage存储, our online线上 search搜索,
220
650612
2804
11:05
our online线上 browsing浏览,
and many许多 other things.
221
653416
3041
浏览记录和许多其他记录。
11:08
And these projects项目 are not backed已备份
by billions数十亿 of dollars美元 in advertising广告,
222
656457
3529
这些项目都没有广告收入,
11:11
but they've他们已经 found发现 support支持
really from the people,
223
659986
2323
但他们已经得到
全世界许多像你我一样的人的支持。
11:14
from private私人的 individuals个人 like you and I
from all over the world世界.
224
662309
3047
11:17
This really matters事项, because ultimately最终,
225
665356
3117
这很重要,因为最终,
保护隐私依靠我们每一个人,
11:20
privacy隐私 depends依靠 on each
and every一切 one of us,
226
668473
3471
我们现在必须保护隐私,
因为我们的网络数据
11:23
and we have to protect保护 it now
because our online线上 data数据
227
671944
2833
11:26
is more than just a collection采集
of ones那些 and zeros.
228
674777
2764
不仅仅是1和0的集合。
远比那丰富得多。
11:29
It's actually其实 a lot more than that.
229
677541
1856
这还是我们的生活、个人经历、
11:31
It's our lives生活, our personal个人 stories故事,
230
679397
2346
我们的朋友、家庭,
11:33
our friends朋友, our families家庭,
231
681743
2298
以及某种意义上,也是我们的愿景。
11:36
and in many许多 ways方法,
also our hopes希望 and our aspirations愿望.
232
684041
3506
11:39
We need to spend time now
to really protect保护 our right
233
687547
3104
我们现在需要花时间保护自己的权利,
11:42
to share分享 this only with people
that we want to share分享 this with,
234
690651
2950
让我们只分享给我们愿意分享的人,
否则我们就无法拥有一个自由的社会。
11:45
because without this,
we simply只是 can't have a free自由 society社会.
235
693601
2740
11:48
So now's现在是 the time for us
to collectively stand up and say,
236
696341
2853
现在是时候让我们一起站起来说:
我们想要生活在有网络隐私的世界,
11:51
yes, we do want to live生活
in a world世界 with online线上 privacy隐私,
237
699194
3493
11:54
and yes, we can work together一起
to turn this vision视力 into a reality现实.
238
702687
4528
而且我们能一起努力
让这个愿景成为事实。
11:59
Thank you.
239
