        I don’t expect… It is already happening. Prime example are rents and wages.

        There is nothing to be done about it. Too late

        Dynamic pricing is a more current battle ground.

        All of these are fixed based on cohort specific information and with dynamic pricing it can be literally individual level data.

          The question was how “less price gouging” would result from a right not to have “your data harvested by default”.

            By denying corpos data, their models are less effective especially if you are salting it when ever possible.

            Do you really need Faceerh and Sundar the creep to have access to your tax returns and locations? Also, do you need them to know you like Asian women with large tits? Or that you and your friends enjoy a hobby?

              Doesn’t that seem awfully roundabout? You make the practice less effective at the price of also making beneficial uses of the data, eg for medical research, less effective.

              The mega-rich can see my tax returns if I can see theirs. The data of the rich and famous is much more valuable than mine. Let’s not pretend that this helps the little guy. The little guy doesn’t throw around money to get their flight data removed from Twitter.
