Information Sharing, Consent & Control lacks external public infrastructure for individuals to control information sharing independently from Vendors. Vendors often provide excellent private infrastructure for people to manage preferences, although this locks up personal information in corporate silo's, prevents the flow of personal information, meaningful consent and the personalisation of preferences according to context and advertising that can be achieved by the individual.which is required for security, privacy and trust.
