The article should be updated in order to adapt to the technological reality in which we live. It should include that we all have the right to know where, how and for what purpose our information in cyberspace is used. In addition, perhaps in this article or in a new one, the right to oblivion should be considered. People should have the right to control our information on the web, which includes the right to delete it or to have it hidden from the public.
I think this article is going to be especially relevant in the near future with Artificial Intelligence advancing very fast. For instance, facial recognition in cities, like we are already seeing in China, violates the right to privacy in the name of security as movements of peoples are constantly tracked. This is an evolution many countries are heading to, and we are going to need strong legislation to prevent privacy intrusion
I agree wholeheartedly. We could be on the path to a police state that is so powerful it would be difficult to ever over through. Now is the time to act. Mental slavery is as bad as physical slavery. Both must be stopped on all corners of Earth and we are rapidly losing the opportunity to stop it. That’s a key reason IBOR is essential and thank you for your participation. Please become a light on the spinning globe.
Privacy is a broad concept and it is a core right for the 21st century. It is important that people reserve the right to know what information is being collected about them and to monitor how that information is being used. Without this Article, humanity faces the bleak prospect of developing into a police state.
