In following this thread there's something obvious which isn't being
discussed:
Transparency will only work in cases where it is advantageous to
do so. Ditto for privacy, and its darker cousin, secrecy.
Rather than continue on about the desirability of privacy vs
transparency
I think it would be more interesting to examine how to create systems
which
value and support transparency. The reason I favor this is that it is
via
transparency that we humans seem to experience and enjoy trust. IMHO
privacy
is distancing and secrecy leads to paranoia.
I also feel that transparency is essential to finding humane solutions
to
the many issues and problems we are facing.
