Data Dignity...a more on-point concept

The other week I shared a few articles related to Jack Balkin's paper on Information Fiduciaries.. This week I came across an article that is a more comprehensive treatment of the concepts I have been digging into recently, it introduces Data Dignity as the cyber corollary to human dignity. I love this. It promotes reliance on “mediators of individual data,” or MIDs, in a manner that was quite convincing for me. Both this article and Jack Balkin's paper are important threads in this conversation we need to have around humanity's future in cyber space. I could quote the entire article, read the entire article, I am sure you will be struck by it and the passage below:

"Any dignified future economy that relies heavily on information technology must value the people who add the data. This cannot just be an idea; there needs to be a structure to make it so. We will need true symmetrical market bargaining and insurance that stands up for and protects the value of creators, which is only possible if pools of data creators are organized in groups like MIDs."
