> the effective capacity to misrepresent yourself. Agreed. I describe this as The Right to Hide.[0] An important part of hiding is that when people ask you to provide information, you should be able to lie. We've learned from App Mainfests on Android and on the web that if an app can tell whether or not they were granted a permission, they'll just try to harass the user into giving it. The better solution is to make it so that the app can ask for anything, but can't validate whether or not any of it is true. I'm encouraged by the work people are putting into protecting privacy by blocking data collection itself, but I think that obfuscation/misinformation is a more promising direction for us to go.
