I'm honestly pleasantly surprised that "commercial surveillance" is the term they're using. You're also absolutely right, the time to lay the case is now.

- ColinHayhurst 4y agoAlso pleasantly surprised. Rebecca Slaughter used the term surveillance-economy previously when advocating for data minimization, saying that this "should mean that companies collect only the information necessary to provide consumers with the service or product they actually request and use the data they collect only to provide that service or product." It's a principle that we use in making our own design choices, but we are an outlier, for now. Anyway, interesting starter questions include: 1. Has X company gone beyond data minimisation? 2. If so, in what ways is this done? 3. To what extent does this amount to commercial surveillance? 4. What are the known and potential consumer harms of this commercial surveillance? 5. What problems can be solved, in society and the economy, with data minimisation as the default?
