This is quite odd considering how easily (and often) privacy is given away by everyone on a daily basis.
Most end users are not as tech-literate as you and I and more than likely don't know just how much of their own privacy they give away on a daily basis.
Another hypothesis is that there are stated and revealed preferences. Everyone thinks that they'd save children, but no one actually wants to save children. They want a nicer car.
I always wonder about these polls. 15% of Americans have an IQ less than 85. How do they show up on these polls? Same as median? More? Less? Should you discount them entirely?
It doesn’t say “human right” anywhere in the article, other than the title. Why that title?
What other kind of rights are there?
Human rights are rights that every human is entitled to simply through being alive, as opposed to civil rights, which are conferred on those who are members of a society (hence voting in America was a civil rights issue).
The better take here would be to simply call it a ‘right,’ as the actual report does, which colloquially for us generally refers to civil rights.
One could say your data is your property, so you could say it's not a human right, but a property or legal right.
The actual report that the article links to - and is based on - uses the phrase "human right" numerous times.
