SWI and privacy?

Milton

thanks for the example, could be a case study?

have started a new thread, to delve into the topic

perhaps you could you  help expound, in a few sentences at your convenience
the relation
between SW interfaces and privacy, perhaps using your example as a case

I presume some aspects of the case are policy issues, and some are technical

if something informative emerges, could be included in some paper at future
point

cheers
