Brittany Kaiser : You are right

You are absolutely right when you say :

If privacy is truly a thing of the past, then people should at least profit off their own personal information  

“ Privacy doesn’t exist  in a post-Facebook crisis era,” Kaiser said at the Bloomberg Sooner Than You Think summit in Singapore.

“The digital assets that you produce every day are your own human value. You should be able to own them and you should be able to share in the monetization of that.”

From a personal perspective, real ownership and control of data means having all your information -- from political leanings and product preferences to medical records -- in one place, so people can decide who gets to access it and on what terms.

That could mean anything from selling it to granting limited use in exchange for a free service ( such as Facebook ) -- or keeping it completely private.

For over an year now , that is precisely what I have been advocating , as can be seen from my following blogs ( sent as 41 EMAILS to India’s Cabinet Ministers / Supreme Court / NITI Aayog / PM’s Economic Advisory Council etc ) :

Data Privacy Law : a Pandora’s Box ?  …………[  15  July  2018  ]

 

 

We can choose to hide our head in the sands but that won’t make the storm go away  !

 

I urge Shri Ravi Shankar Prasadji to consider my suggestion while framing the Data Protection Law
