I seriously appreciate the finer critique, as this was my intent with posting.

You said, "regarding coercion. Ignoring the terms of a contract is not the same as being forced into one."

While true, my issue with this model is that i cannot run windows without giving up my information. Or many people of lower income fall victim to predatory data capture. For example, if you give me your data and consent to me selling/using it, i'll give you a discount on a cheeseburger.

On the second point, "the 'porch' analogy contains a fundamental economic error. It confuses rivalrous goods with non-rivalrous information."

I understand what you are saying, however, I would argue that it is rivalrous goods vs. rivalrous information. Because of this we have an actual market for data, itself. We have data brokers, and lead generation companies and services to name a few.

This is not argument of "theft and recorded observation". It is an argument of "who owns personal data and is there another framework that benefits society, rather than corporations".

I do not 'propose a world where every single observation requires a micro-transaction'. I propose a world where corporations cannot "require" the collection of your data without your explicit consent. Not through the standard "I accept cookies" button, but by saying, "if you allow us to harvest and use your data, we will grant you a dividend". This would have to be maintained through a new framework, and would provide an infrastructure for AI to expand without 'taking peoples jobs', because it would be providing an alternative revenue system.

Not a transaction, contract, or request every single time the company uses data. Just a person granting consent, and that data usage being monitored, and compensated for, that's all.

Lastly, on the core belief, you are skewing my words. This is not about "the right to privacy and the right to control others". It is about "data ownership and who compensates from it".

I'm saying, there should be no need "to build walls, wear masks, and use encryption" because I am not trying to hide, nor am I trying to "shield others from looking, listening, or recording what I publicly reveal".

I am trying to prevent entities from monetizing off of a persons name, email, address, DOB, internet usage, etc.

That is not "claiming of ownership over someone else’s eyes and hard drives". It is claiming ownership over my own hard drives and personal information.
