Clearly the danger to the individual is the
aggregate.
How many times have we heard that our
information will only be used in the aggregate. Read
terms of use or just about any privacy policy and there
will always be a clause that declares your information
will only be used in the aggregate. My concern is
enforcement is for the aggregate. Is there a connection?
Laws are enforced for the good of the people, in
the United States. At least that's the ideal. The
information collected about us is used in the aggregate
and the system and it's laws, in a democracy, is defined
by the majority. The individual does not have a voice,
at least not without a great deal of expense and
sacrifice.
So my question is; is there a direct line
between the aggregate and enforcement? Not yet I imagine
but we are at the height of the information age and the
machine is hungry for information. An individual
standing out from the aggregate will be separated. How
powerful is this force. I invite your discussion. I beg
your contemplation.

Update: Read PayPal's new terms of use a couple of weeks ago. I noticed
they don't use the word 'aggregate' anymore.
