Privacy Laws Paradox, Decentralization as a Bottom-Up Solution
Privacy is defined as a bottom-up state of being that exists when third parties like Apple or governments are not involved, rather than a right granted by law. The paradox of privacy laws like GDPR is that they require state identification and surveillance to verify the identity of the person being "protected." True privacy is intrinsically linked to decentralization, mirroring the early American model of localized, autonomous communities.
