> Fine paid directly to the individual. Make PII data property. Correct. Specifically, establish personal sovereignty over one's data. If someone's using my data, I get my cut. Pay me. -- I'll have to ponder the notion of receipts (provenance). I can imagine how the provenance of my data probably matters. Prescriptions, test results, reading list, etc. But PII is so ubiquitous now, it's part of the public record. Which, counter intuitively, is a good thing. Establishing a stable universal identifier unlocks the ability to encrypt our personal data at rest. In our current world of no universal identifiers, linking personal data data across systems requires it be stored as plaintext. The book Translucent Databases (2nd ed) explains the techniques.
