I have discussed this matter with my teenage children, who have given up and trade access for everything. Dr. Cowan may be examining the issue of whether there is an underlying flaw in the basic business model whereby we have given up our personal data in return for free access and, in turn, the companies have this incredible surveillance capability and advertising power. Is Dr. Cowan beginning to examine this area? He referred to many small start-ups that are looking for opportunities. Is there a big problem in terms of a monopoly on access to the data?
