The "world" does not understand privacy. Most of the experts who understand are hired by the entities who stand to lose if the world would understand that privacy has two components: property and confidentiality. Confidentiality is a wall that is expensive to keep up, and in most cases unnecessary. This is where the world has gone far too anal. Property is the right to exclude others. It is also the fundamental cornerstone of a working market, since excluding others reveals the value of what they are excluded from: they will be willing to pay to get access to it. This is where the world is not there yet, and this is why we still all carry a pricetag on our back instead of shopping around where to be paid for the data we generate. -- Yuval Levy, JD, MBA, CFA Ontario-licensed lawyer _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
