And there’s a lot to unpack when we talk about “privacy.” If we’ve asked someone if “privacy” is important to them, they have always said yes but their behavior had not reflected that. Very often privacy is being conflated with security
and “free” is nearly always valued over privacy.

Thanks for raising this Alan,
This is a useful discussion which goes to the core of our mission.
Re Olivier’s point, I would say the question of privacy is (in real terms) implicit in the notion of safety as outlined in Alan’s original list. That is, if privacy is important to you (and lets face it, with us millennials that is a BIG
if) then your decision to use the internet (or a particular internet service) would now be a question of whether you think its safe to engage or not given the privacy implications.

Thanks for the nugget indeed.
However I would say that one major thing is changing in particular about privacy, which does not figure in your list.
The 2018 CIGI-Ipsos Global Survey on Internet Security and Trust findings show that over half of internet users surveyed around the world are more concerned about their online privacy than they were a year ago, reflecting growing concern around the world about
online privacy and the power of social media platforms.

The GAFAs have managed to reach commercial success, but they are currently suffering from allegedly not being able to address Privacy and Trust. It is fascinating to see them fumble their way through these topics, in contrast with their well developed commercial
plans spanning their first two decades of existence.
Let's hope that ICANN does not fall into this trap too.
Kindest regards,
Olivier
