The United States of Permissions

United States has a privacy and security crisis. It has been this way for decades. It's been proposed time and time again. From the early 2000s to today, privacy for citisens still has no appropriate laws. From Online privacy, to privacy concerns in products, to government spying, to ISP spying and network spying, corporate spying, mobile app and mobile data spying, AI data gathering and large language models, access to medical records and sensitive data without authority, public survallance (3rd party survalance and street survallance), and the security of bank accounts, social security, personal records, credit scores, IPs (doxing security), and biometric data. It seems there is a heavy lack of protections, security, and privacy for Americans. 

I believe the United States should be a country of law and permissions. A country which should take privacy and security very seriously. People should give permission and consent to features. They should choose what information and data to release, is allowed to be displayed, and what should be kept private. 

Applications, websites, and products should all have consent options. There should be many options and presets. A person should be able to choose manually from a list of options. If they do not want to take the time to go thorough the options manually, they should have presets (no restrictions and full consent (no privacy), light consent (light privacy), balanced consent and privacy (balanced privacy), heavy privacy, full privacy (absolutely forbidden to collect any data). All options should be easy to understand, have widgets or hover tips to learn about an option even more with an example. 

Governments, corporations, and 3rd parties should require permission forms for access to your data. People should have to sign-up to be part of data collection operations. Perhaps people should be monitarily compensated for giving their data. People should at all times, know where their data, survalance, and biometrics are going, how it's being collected, and how it's being used. They should be the arbiters of their own data and have permissions on ever option imaginable. 

Ultimately people choose how they want to live and what they want revealed about themselves. People and entities who want power by invading a person's privacy should be identified for seeking access to one's privacy and should be stopped (sociopathic or psychopathic behaviors). 

Let's build a future where the people have the power and not government and entities. Lets have a future where people aren't banned from anything because governments want it. Let's build a future where all members of society are respected. Where people can live privately and unbothered. Let people choose how much they want to reveal about themselves and what permissions they give. Let's take power away from those who do not deserve it, and let's choose a world where each individual has privacy, protections, and all their data and information is absolutely secure. Having privacy is also freedom.
