@dan I get what you mean but access to data and transparency are two different things. I grew up in a totalitarian regime, under a brutal communist dictatorship, in Romania, where all your neighbours used to spy on you and you never knew who was informing who about what. That led to a disastrous culture now, in 21st century post-communist Romania, where people have a hard time trusting each other. So, were the government back then to open up every citizen's private conversations, I don't think that would've solved the problem. Think about it this way. The average citizen doesn't want their privacy to be violated. At all. By no one. Be it the government, or your neighbour. We need to figure out a way to decentralize power, I agree, and put it back into the hands of the community, but without compromising our natural right to privacy. We can't have that my friend, that won't fly.
