I prefer Alex Pentland:

You have a right to possess your own data, that you control the data that is collected about you, and that you can destroy, remove or redeploy your data as you wish.

Naturally -- although earlier this year, you wrote of Pentland's technology venture:

Unless there is some detail that I'm missing, this sounds positively orwellian.

Forget it. It's not going to happen. We've batted this around for a long time. Kiss it goodbye. For two really important reasons:

1) The potential gains to be had from collecting more and more data is HUGE, both financially and societally.

2) There's no one that has a strong financial arm to PREVENT erosion of privacy from happening. That is to say that it's in no one's best interest to their pocket books to keep data private.
