Bad idea. I don't like to even fill out my census form and they would like to sync my info with corps? No. There's more to it that trust, and overall it doesn't seem to fix any need I have. For the general population, I see one immediate benefit: for people on the move, managing change of address and keeping their mail flowing to the proper place is important. It seems that the post-office can do that for you though at a small premium and re-direct every piece of mail. So what exactly does this offer that we need?
- 18pfsmt 15y agoI completely agree with your trust concerns, but it doesn't seem you are familiar with VRM [1]. The whole point is to off-set the current (and ever growing) data disparity between consumers and businesses. You'll note they have trust in their name, which I would guess is specifically because they realize the significant trust level they're going to have to engender among their customers. I still believe in VRM as a concept, but it has a large barrier to entry mostly because it isn't an easy idea to grok. It's still a vitamin, not a pain pill, but I believe it will be a pain pill eventually. [1]http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/projectvrm/Main_Page http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/projectvrm/Main_Page
