In a post on Policy@Intel, David Hoffman explains why Internet obscurity can help the “Right to Fail.” Absent providing individuals with “a sphere of privacy where they know they can make mistakes,” society may make it impossible for individuals to pursue ideas that “challenge the status quo” and are needed “to break away from conformity and innovate.”
He also highlights Woodrow Hartzog and Evan Selinger’s suggestion that obscurity might actually be better than privacy when looking at conceptual tools to protect personal information.
