<p>Benny,</p>
<p>This is why I support multi-venue multi-stakholder dialogue with
the DPA's so that they are appraised of the issues on all sides of
the data protection issue. They are then more likely to act in a
judicious manner, and less like an attack dog. Watch the new movie
"<b><i>The Post</i></b>" where when <i>Washington Post</i> owner
<span class="st"> Katharine Graham decided to publish the Vietnam
War Pentagon Papers, with the downside risk that she could be
jailed for treason. The court ruled in favor of freedom of the
press. It is not what the DPA can do, but what they are likely
to do, and dialogue goes a long way to mitigating risk and
shaping appropriate positions and behavior (with integrity) on
all sides. <br>

<p class="">Hi Tim, <br class="">
</p>
<p class="">No, completely to the contrary. My point
with that dollars reference was that in some cases
litigation is the preferred business response, rather
than compliance and paying fines. Also, the big
revenues in mining big data are outside the DNS
sphere, and outside the abuses and "bad things" that
websites do to people. The big EU fines are more
likely to hit social media than Registrars, although
they are risks there as well. The revenues, and
privacy violations, will come from profiling users by
mining big data for scraps of personal date to
individualize target marketing. <br class="">
</p>
<p class=""><b class=""><i class="">As a brief aside:</i></b>
This goes well beyond the remit of ICANN and is
actually worse than just being inundated by adverts
base on personal online behavior. Artificial
Intelligence mining apps are increasingly customizing
the "news" one gets from news feeds, to help "glue the
eyeballs" to the adverts, creating a news silo of
one. (That is amusing for me since I virtually live
in two towns in two countries). Even more worrisome is
the growing practice for A.I. companies where A.I.
"writes" the news releases, now mainly in sports and
finance, for thousands of print and online news
outlets. I know all of this is outside the ICANN remit
so I will stop there.

<div class="">I hope you are not comparing
cybersecurity professionals and the good work they
are trying to enable, to a completely separate
privacy issue around data used for ad tracking or
behavior tracking across websites. If I spent my
days trying to protect people on the internet from
bad things, I would certainly not appreciate any
allusion that I was engaged on the whois data
issue 'for the money'.</div>
