I'm reminded of an article in Foreign Affairs arguing that our our data privacy laws need to be based on use rather than collection, e.g. even if you know someone goes to the bar every week, it's illegal to predicate a credit or insurance decision on that knowledge.
Might be worth considering.
- QAPereo 9y agoWhen in history have "chinese walls" like that ever worked?

- geon 9y agoThat's not a private thought. You would be taking action against another person.
- andrewflnr 9y agoYes, deciding whether to enter into a contract affects the other person, just like everything else. That's a red herring. The point is, my motives should be my own. Do you really want a court second-guessing every decision you make in the marketplace because it constitutes "taking action against another person"?
