IMO there’s two solutions, both can be done at the same time:
- Technological solution. Implement end to end encryption, and encrypt data at rest. Use techniques to prevent third parties from gaining access to decryption keys.
- Human solution. Strengthen, and critically, enforce laws that protect the privacy of individuals. Severely punish and hold to account misuse of data & PII.
It’s not dumb luck that the first and second amendments of the US constitution both provide protections against an unjust government. I’m not a gun fan by any means, I just see the similarity between the soft and hard approaches to addressing an issue.

- dylan604 4y agoClearly, the framers of the constitution could not have imagined the smart devices of today, but based on how they wrote the constitution on what they could imagine, I believe that data/privacy protection would have been it's own amendment. We try to lump everything into the 4th amendment, but their biggest concerns were invasion of one's domicile. We should come together as a group to write a new amendment that protects one's digital life to propose to congress via a lobby group.
- breakpointalpha 4y agoThe US definitely needs iron clad data privacy laws. The authors of the Constitution absolutely understood how critical privacy was with respect to personal information. "Papers" is the keyword here, the OG Americans were 100% harassed by the British Gov. 4th Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
