Can you explain why you're expecting any of this? Then, can you explain why you think that's feasible?
Here's a few questions that I hope will highlight how ridiculous your expectations are:
- How many times have you shared information about a person without its consent? For example: "I saw John at the bar yesterday".
- How many times have you gathered data about a person without its consent? For example: taking a picture of a crowd.
- specialist 10y agoUS Constitution's Bill of Rights pretty much covers it. I designed, implemented, supported 5 regional health information exchanges. I'm also chin deep into protecting the secret ballot. I have more than passing knowledge of the relevant issues, technical and policy. "Then, can you explain why you think that's feasible?" So it's feasible to record every waking moment of every single person, but infeasible to disclose that activity and track it? Have you ever tried to correct your credit report? Had your identity stolen? Been discriminated against, or disenfranchised, because some system some where decided you were the wrong color? Or lived in the wrong zip code? Are you on any watchlists, eg TSA no fly, FBIs inventory of peace marchers? -- You advocate radical transparency (Brin's Transparent Society), but then profess incredulity when that right is demanded. Nice.
