A Frank Conversation on Privacy
summary
Argues that mass metadata collection and data retention produce no measurable security benefit and that governments and big companies are currently neither transparent nor accountable, so trust cannot be assumed. Calls for encrypt everything by default, hardcoded user-controlled keys so shared data stays with chosen friends, and legal requirements forcing annual notices plus yearly transparency reports listing derived intelligence from user data. Proposes funding non-governmental public-service platforms run by citizens rather than state or corporations to preserve rights.
