The problem of preventing the transfer of uncomfortable data has already been tackled by copyright.
- mcculley 5y agoPlease elaborate. There are many markets for buying and selling photos and other data.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoCopyright is a law that by design prevents the selling or buying or other transfer of some data, and it even sometimes works (black markets notwithstanding). If your goal is to restrict the transfer of some other kind of data, copyright is already a legal and practical framework that had tackled the same problems, and offers solutions.
- mcculley 5y agoCopyright protects intellectual property. It does not protect those captured in photos taken by others. Trademark law maybe would work here. Is that what you meant?
