I think we have to be aware that there is often an economic incentive to use information. It's normal, it's part of the economic system. States and regulatory bodies must therefore be able to create incentives in the other direction to protect information. I see two kinds of incentives. First, there's a positive incentive, which recognizes good behaviour and gives reputation-related rewards; but you also need a negative incentive, which uses legal constraint. We need laws that will tell these platforms and organizations that they have a proactive obligation to publish their privacy plan, that they have a proactive obligation to conduct audits, that they have a proactive obligation to minimize data use and explain it properly. If they don't, there can be audits, investigations, orders and fines. I think all this is necessary to have proper regulation.
