All I'm saying is that if you enact regulation to try to enforce this, you're going to cause a lot of unintended consequences. It may even prevent the Airbnb's and Dropbox's of the future from forming altogether.
Are you sure adding another law is the right response?
I'm not sure, but I do think that it would be beneficial to have an overarching framework that could be used to protect information that is commonly believed to be "private." I've thought about it a bit more and instead of simply "transportation companies may do this and not this in situations A, B, and C," I feel like we need a modern day "Bill of Information Rights" and a general reform in how anyone -- government included -- can collect, use, or distribute information without explicit permission.
Sure in this context it sounds like a great idea, but down the line it becomes a tool for the rich with time to censor information.
Well, not having one sure isn't working very well, now is it?
