Is there right for offline alternatives in a digital world?
summary
Panel argues there is no simple right to drop out of a digitized society but there is a defensible claim to offline alternatives that preserve specific properties: concrete proposals include privacy-preserving aggregation for smart meters and a proxy mediator for internet-connected TVs; examples of harm are GPS child trackers, covert adultery apps, employer spyware and pet trackers like FitBark; tradeoffs are explicit — e‑health and safety gains versus power asymmetries, usability burdens, cross‑device leaks and the practical impossibility of full social opt‑out.
