Cometemos tres errores:

0:17

El primero es infravalorar la cantidad de información que producimos cada día;

0:21

el segundo es despreciar el valor de esa información

0:26

y el tercero es pensar que nuestro principal problema

0:29

es una agencia distante y superpoderosa que se llama NSA.

0:33

Y es verdad que la NSA tiene el mayor acceso, los mejores recursos,

0:38

las mejores herramientas, pero no les hace falta nada de eso

0:41

para espiarnos a nosotros,

0:42

porque nosotros lo tenemos todo ahí. Vivimos en casas de cristal.

0:48

Este es Malte Spitz, miembro del Partido Verde alemán,

0:52

y en 2009, Malte le pidió a su compañía telefónica

0:55

que le mandara todos los datos que tenía sobre él.

0:58

Y la Deutsche Telekom, que era su compañía, le dijo que no.

1:01

Dos demandas más tarde, le mandaron un CD con un Excel de 30 832 líneas,

1:08

como La Guerra y la Paz pero tres veces.

1:11

Este documento interminable comprende

1:14

desde septiembre de 2009 hasta febrero de 2010;

1:16

tiene exactamente seis meses.

1:18

Y no es casual, tiene seis meses porque en verano de 2008

1:22

la Unión Europea presentó la directiva de retención de datos,

1:25

donde les exige que cada compañía telefónica

1:27

con más de 10 000 clientes

1:29

guarde los datos de todos sus clientes

1:31

durante un mínimo de seis meses y un máximo de dos años.

1:34

A Malte le dieron seis meses como diciendo

1:36

"esto es todo lo que tenemos porque nos obliga la ley".

1:39

Probablemente le deben un año y medio.

1:41

Entonces, Malte, que no podía leer máquina,

1:43

se lo mandó a un semanario que a su vez,

1:45

contactó con una agencia de visualización de datos

1:48

para hacer algo con esto, ¿no?

1:49

Entonces ellos cogieron estos datos de Deustche Telekom

1:52

y otros datos de Malte que eran públicos

1:54

como, por ejemplo, de su cuenta de Twitter o de su blog.

1:58

Y con esto hicieron este mapa que estáis viendo ahora,

2:01

que más que un mapa, es como un diario automático

2:06

y terrorífico de la vida de Malte.

We make three mistakes:

0:17

The first is underestimating the amount of information we produce every day;

0:21

the second is underestimating the value of that information;

0:26

and the third is thinking that our main problem

0:29

is a distant, super-powerful agency called the NSA.

0:33

And it's true that the NSA has the greatest access, the best resources,

0:38

the best tools, but they don't need any of that

0:41

to spy on us,

0:42

because we have it all right there. We live in glass houses.

0:48

This is Malte Spitz, a member of the German Green Party,

0:52

and in 2009, Malte asked his phone company

0:55

to send him all the data they had on him.

0:58

And Deutsche Telekom, which was his company, told him no.

1:01

Two more lawsuits later, they sent him a CD with an Excel spreadsheet of 30,832 lines,

1:08

like War and Peace, but three times over.

1:11

This interminable document covers

1:14

From September 2009 to February 2010;

1:16

exactly six months.

1:18

And it's not by chance, it's six months long because in the summer of 2008

1:22

the European Union introduced the data retention directive,

1:25

which requires every telephone company

1:27

with more than 10,000 customers

1:29

to keep the data of all its customers

1:31

for a minimum of six months and a maximum of two years.

1:34

Malte was given six months, as if to say,

1:36

"This is all we have because the law requires it."

1:39

They probably owe him a year and a half.

1:41

So, Malte, who couldn't read a machine,

1:43

sent it to a weekly magazine, which in turn,

1:45

contacted a data visualization agency

1:48

to do something with it, right?

1:49

So they took this data from Deutsche Telekom

1:52

and other publicly available data about Malte

1:54

like, for example, from his Twitter account or his blog.

1:58

And with this, they made this map you're seeing now,

2:01

which is more like an automated,

2:06

and terrifying diary of Malte's life.

0:14

We made three mistakes:

1:14

1:16

she is exactly six months old.

1:18

And it's no coincidence, she's six months old because in summer 2008

1:22

the European Union presented the data retention directive,

1:25

where it requires them that every telephone company

1:27

with more than 10 000 customers
