I agree, but I can't imagine a world where the internet works any different than currently in your scenario. Eg, right now (or at least a few years ago) companies could basically do anything with your data. And they did. It's getting worse too, with advanced techniques on identifying individuals across website bounds, etc. That is what is spawning these sorts of debates, laws, etc. So my question to you is while I agree that we have to assume malice (for ease of discussion), we can't actively allow or encourage malice right? So if we do nothing, do we just accept that they do who knows what with our data? Ie, I think we mostly agree that what is going on right (with our data) now is bad. So don't we have to do something? What do you see as the right solution?
