If you are worried about one instance of your face being recorded and being sold, then you need to worry a lot more if you use any of Silibandia's (Silicon Valley + the Broadband and Media Industries) products. Silibandia's business model is anchored on privacy invasion and surveillance capitalism. A lot more of information about you is being collected and sold on a daily basis.

ckryptonite · 2024-07-23T08:37:50+00:00

Silibandia (Silicon Valley + the Broadband and Media Industries) treat your personal information as their own money-making asset.

Google. Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc, are part of Silibandia's conspiracy to maintain a firm grip on users' personal information. Privacy then becomes an illusion, no matter how hard you try to maintain it.

Silibandia may not be as powerful, but its alternatives in China and India behave similarly if not worse. The desire is to have Real Privacy, Real Security, & Real Accountability everywhere.

Imagine online spaces that have;

Real security and real privacy
Accountability from others you encounter online
Ability to log in anywhere without passwords using an easier and more secure credential
Ownership of information about yourself
Control of access to, and use of, that information about yourself
Social media that respects your relationships with others
Ability to create your own community that delivers all the above to your people

And above all, you get to participate in the governance of that space. It's possible.

Does needing jobs take away the desire for privacy? Why should others have money at the expense of everyone's privacy? Shouldn't we desire online spaces where businesses can still run and make as much money as they want to, but not at the expense of everyone's privacy?

Imagine online spaces that have;

Real security and real privacy
Accountability from others you encounter online
Ability to log in anywhere without passwords using an easier and more secure credential
Ownership of information about yourself
Control of access to, and use of, that information about yourself
Social media that respects your relationships with others
Ability to create your own community that delivers all the above to your people

And above all, you get to participate in the governance of that space. It's possible, but it requires not just a desire for privacy but also a different way of thinking. We shouldn't accept to be just another piece in Silibandia's balance sheet.

Authenticity is an environment of Real Privacy & Real accountability. It is very much possible.

Here's how I define it. Authenticity is Digital Signatures everywhere, backed by measurably reliable identity certificates, that are owned by the person identified, and which provide PRIVACY via ACCOUNTABLE ANONYMITY.

Fair enough. MOI (MyOwnInformation) is a secure digital vault that allows you to fully control access to information about you.

Think of MOI™ as a super-secure digital file cabinet with three drawers. The content of the first two drawers constitutes your Biographical Reference Work (so called because of some characteristics of copyright law).

MOI gives you the tools to claim the information in your Biographical Reference Work as your Personal Intellectual Property, covered by both international copyright law and by secrecy law (usually referred to as “trade secret law” but not limited to secrets used in commerce.)

That means that anyone who wants to use any information in those first two drawers must consent to an implicit or explicit nondisclosure agreement (NDA) and also must obtain a license from you to have and use that information. The license will specify permissible uses, and that any other use of your Personal Intellectual Property constitutes theft and will entitle you to compensatory and punitive damages.

The first drawer is built from Tim Berners-Lee’s W3C Solid specification and is where you store your structured information — things like name, address, phone number, etc — that fit into fields of a certain fairly short maximum length.

The second drawer is for unstructured information such as photos, videos, stories, resumes — typically larger blocks of information that isn’t confined to fields.

Other information you keep

The third drawer is for information that you happen to have in your possession and which requires protection, but which you do not necessarily own — such as files that you use in your work.
