I think control is the issue. Right now our privacy laws are weak in comparison to, for example, the GDPR, in terms of the rights of control they give to individuals. They are also weak in terms of the enforcement if there are breaches of those rights. The rights of control are tremendously important, and I think we have work to do there.
