I was heartened by a recent article I read about a tracking protection feature being added to safari desktop browser. While I do not know their reasoning, affiliations or motives Apple Inc. has been in the news recently supporting their users privacy rights. I do not know if Apple would support this proposal, but it demonstrates the recognition of the market demand by a major economic player in the technology sector. I was able to put a couple of hours into research on EU privacy laws, while I did not stumble upon the aforementioned right to know what data is being collected, it sounds like it is half of my proposal. I just believe that we also need the right to know what has been done with that data, only then can we make an informed decision to continue a business relationship. While I agree with the right to be forgotten, I believe that the issue at play there is fundamentally separate from what I might dub "The right to an informed decision". I have also come to realize another fundamental difference in an example presented about the vitamin supplement which might come into play. There is a very mature example of this with the United Laboratories (UL). I see their stamp of approval on most electrical devices. The difference here is that it focuses on the product in question instead of the user. What we really need is the fundamental right to be acknowledged. Once it is recognized that we have this right, then we can begin building specific laws through the use of the judicial system. This is more akin to freedom of speech. It was recognized long ago and set in law as an ammendment to our constitution and problems were delt with as they came up. Is there any regulatory body around freedom of speach? This leads me to a possible path. In recent conversations based entirely on anecdotal evidence, there are two main ways rights have been established through litigation and through constitutional amendments. I think if we were able to make one constitutional amendment other rights might build up in a new body of law through litigation. If we could convince one state to recognize this right then it would provide legitimacy to our claim. This plan, I think, will fit into the current political climate of deregulation nicely as it would allow companies to decide themselves about the details of how they honor this right.
