That second point is very interesting. Beyond reading code / SLA for the lib, I'm not sure there's an easy (read: time efficient) way to understand what data points are used for what purposes currently. At least it seems that would hold for a lot of services.
Right - you've nailed it, a legal document like a data processing agreement may be enforceable in court but system implementation can vary widely, often without malice but it still fails.
So the question to answer is how can we ensure an interoperable contract for data between systems/services - that requires an ontology for privacy that makes enforcement easy(er).
It is possible to make privacy definitions a declarative and low effort part of development for engineers - then code becomes the enforcing layer instead of legal agreements.
Considering blatant GDPR breaches by Google and Facebook such as their non-compliant consent flow have gone unpunished I would not trust a legal document when there’s previous evidence that you can break the law and successfully get away with it.
Exactly Nextgrid - this is on developers to solve. Data flowing through a system isn't policed by the legal agreement, it's developers who understand where/how data is being used - we're the ones who can fix this.
It basically boils down to: use as little third-party services/code as possible. Because vetting them is expensive and error prone (usually not enough insights to confidently judge). Prefer code over services.

The closest thing to this I can think of is an offline TripAdvisor app (TripAdvisor City Guides). The app downloads city data straight from TripAdvisor to use on your phone when your internet / wifi is switched off.
Their huge database of places & reviews is combined with a section on 'walking tours' which seems very similar to what you're describing. A great bonus with this is that GPS services still work without internet.
A great addition to this would be bespoke intelligently generated tours based upon your likes or interests.
Also a limitation of the TripAdvisor app is the number of cities offered (though this seems to be increasing)
Stock prices are also influenced by supply & demand. The situation you describe works for just one company paying no corporation tax, but if every company suddenly has no corporation tax, every company's profits increase, so relative demand should stay the same, leaving prices the same.
Stocks can pay dividends which are a direct result of their profits, and so the corporate tax rate effects the amount of actual money that gets paid out. Stocks that don't pay dividends are an interesting case, that is the investors allow the company to reinvest their earnings for growth with the expectation of future dividends.
I would presume it's more intuitive. Also with a physical scroll you have an annoyingly huge amount of paper in one roll, where as on computers any part of the 'scroll' which isn't shown on the screen is taken care of automatically. Pages aren't completely non-existent either, you often see large news articles broken into 3 or 4 pages.
Am I missing something here?
