We should have the right to not have our data harvested by default.

How would that benefit the average person?

Send me your name, birthdate, web browsing history, online spending history, real time location, and a list of people you know and I will explain it to you.

How do you expect that to result?

I don’t expect… It is already happening. Prime example are rents and wages.

There is nothing to be done about it. Too late

Dynamic pricing is a more current battle ground.

All of these are fixed based on cohort specific information and with dynamic pricing it can be literally individual level data.

By giving us the choice of whether someone else should profit by our data.

Same as I don’t want someone looking over my shoulder and copying off my test answers.

I prefer that the benefits of those things accrue to me, or to others, or to no one, in accordance with my choice.

In this way, I would decide who gains the economic or social benefits of these activities of mine; and I also, in the case of personal data, would decide who gets to make my business, their business.
