Privacy it is not what you think it is by Sam Harrison

We do not shower in the middle of the town's square. We wrap our Christmas presents so that we can see and experience surprise. We time announcements and embargo for reasons that are clear to us and us alone. But all of these simple, every day items REQUIRE privacy as a threshold condition. Since 2004, we have become more and more accepting of the erosion of privacy in our lives. "If you don't pay for the product, you ARE the product" was an attempt to raise the level of awareness about this phenomena. However, it has not done enough. Privacy. Secrets. Surprise. All fundamental to the human experience. The question isn't "why should we have privacy?" it is "Who should CONTROL that privacy?" The answer is "you should". We have finally reached the stage of technological maturity where blockchains can give individuals a granular approach to setting their own boundaries for who and what they are willing to share with others. However, the consumers, the users, you and I - must make the message clear that the expectation of privacy is not a "nice to have", but rather, it is table-stakes to play in this game.
