Permissions require you to make an open-ended trust decision in an entity.

  • Permissions require you to make an open-ended trust decision in an entity.
    • "Do you trust this entity in perpetuity in an open-ended way with this data" is obviously an impossible-to-answer question.
    • There structurally is no good answer to that question.
      • I trusted 23AndMe with my genetic data 10 years ago… but not now!
    • We shouldn't have to answer that superficial question, we should just have to answer the more fundamental question about what we're OK with our data.
    • That would require changing the physics of trust.
