On that level, I think the answer is that the personal information of individuals is something they need to be able to be in control of. You put it in terms of ownership, and that is something that is sometimes said. I would rather say that it is a human right, that privacy is a human right, to control your privacy, and therefore what information you allow to be known by others, and to what end, is because you choose to do that, because you think it provides a benefit for you, as opposed to giving consent for an extremely broad purpose, which is then open season for others to interpret as they see fit.
