I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I’d like to see every person entitled to:

  • shelter
  • food
  • healthcare
  • education and higher education

(As an aside, not sure “right” is the best term here, I think of these more as commitments that society would make because we have abundance. One advantage of the word “right” is that a person is justified in expecting it - it’s not welfare/ a benefit / a privilege)

    Data ownership.

    Everything you do, every action you take, is commodified down to the very steps you take. Even if you refuse to participate, there will be a “you” shaped hole due to the amount of related data.

    Overall we are all generating huge amounts of data, content and financial information. We need new laws to direct the ownership and related income of the data each person generates.

    In regard to the US: if we are a capitalist nation, than being an American citizen is an investment. I want to see returns on that investment.

    I truthfully think privacy is dead and we need to look forward at what we can control. We can control this, and companies should not be allowed to make billions off your mere existence.

      Income tracking would create another cache of data. If anything you’d want a ban on cross domain tracking (“domain” in the traditional sense).
