 I enjoyed your article (including the titles and the punchline at the end). I understand your concerns and I still wonder whether the road that the European Union has chosen for the past fifteen years - i.e. having a data protection regulatory framework which imposes specific obligations to all controllers of third party personal data - bears relatively better results by imposing "privacy-by-design" architectures, data-minimization and purpose limitation principles. It is indeed difficult to ensure the protection of user privacy where the very business model of digital libraries depends on the exploitation and process of their users' personal data.

Nikolaos,

I think that the idea of imposing requirements on controllers (and collectors as well) of personal data has merit. I think it'd have to be done by regulations instead of legislation given the speed at which the game changes (but I read your comment to suggest such a model anyway, so we don't seem to disagree). Ultimately, though, I think I agree with the view that the best safeguard is going to be technological tools adopted by end-users. For example, I'm not sure I believe any regulation could sufficiently control Facebook; until something better/safer comes along (i.e. the wall-server) I think it will remain an unraveller of all things private.
