Cam Kerry’s call for a better approach to privacy and data security is important and timely.  Some time ago, I put his Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights into prose object format and did a sketch of how it could be directly adopted between consumers and companies in the format of a privacy policy.  That uses contract law to effect micro-legislation, the “law of the parties.” 

More generally, the World Economic Forum and others are working on this in the context of data sharing for epidemic response.  We are exploring using work by Chatham House as a base for a universal, federated approach.  I’ve written this up in the Google Doc below.  It mentions some of the challenges of a legislative approach and can be understood to be a kind of crowd-source, internet-speed version of “common law” alternative Cam discusses.  The Golden Rule hammered into very specific shapes by parties, advocates, groups, governments making decisions at their own levels.   

UMA seems an important part of this.  Colin also pointed out the fit with the Consent Receipt project.

Dear UMAnitarians,

You might find this article interesting: "Why protecting privacy is a losing game today—and how to change the game".
