No Privacy Concerns

Computer Science students here at the KTH don't seem to have much privacy concerns:

Felix told me about a "nice" service called Webdatan which one of the students provides on his website. It's purpose is to be able to check if there are free computers in NADA's computer labs. This alone would be no problem, but Webdatan also visualises who is logged in into which workstation at the moment.

The user can choose a room (e.g. karmosin) and the program returns a plan of the room and a list of the computers which are used together with the login name and the real name of the current user (sometimes you can even get a photo if you click on the real name).

Webdatan is also officially supported by the Datasektion: They link to it on the front page of their website.

My two cents on this: That's Sweden. Nobody would consider this service harmful.
