Scattering your data across the web is also fundamentally flawed, it seems to me. It is a variant of 'security through obscurity' and relies upon the difficulty of connecting to, and linking, multiple sources. There should be a Moore's Law for re-identification and identifiability, because I suspect that it does become twice as easy to re-identify and link someone's personal information every eighteen months or so.

If you want privacy you want others to store information about you in their own data stores. That way our information is scattered around the internet and to at it someone has to break into all those stores. Of course we want to be able to access it when we need to but let others keep it and let them take responsibility for looking after it and keeping it from others. This the system we have at the moment with one difference. Today we do not have access to our own information. Tomorrow we will and VRM will become a reality.
