We need a rethink of how we're monetizing our privacy. We're like chumps at the table. So, current state of affairs is we get bunch of free services, with IRL lockin effects, and place control of social norms in the hands of a handful of companies. In the aggregate, it's fair to value these free services at say $1000.00 a year, if you paid for it. Now, is our privacy really that cheap? Shouldn't LinkedIn-cum-Microsft being paying me to get an inside seat at my professional life? They pay me, and we exchange a strictly delimeted bits of information I am willing to part for payment. I bet, lol, that one would easily make far more than a grand a year from selling specific bits of one's personal and professional life to interested companies, maintain direct control of one's privacy regime, and likely end up enriched, rather than sucker punched as is the case today.
