An array of medical conditions have come to my attention where right to life (to fullest potential) should transcend the right to privacy. In such cases, particularly those that incur amnesia related symptoms; where medical treatment becomes unavailable as a result. The medical benefits of a protected foot-print for medical purposes far out-weights the benefits of ordinary human rights assessments as to protect the safety of the person affected in addition to the impacts upon those around them which may be otherwise misunderstood by the uninitiated in a crisis event, for example. I believe these forms of use-cases transcend the needs of counter-terrorism and other law-enforcement requirements should a suitably qualified clinical / medical actor be capable of reviewing and interpreting records effectively as to provide case-management. However; i also note that criminal elements may engage those suffering from such difficulties as to obfuscate their roles / activities and related documentation (ie: company directorships). This is not a tenably validated reason to support privacy above all other things and brings into question data-retention requirements more broadly. \ Other situations may involve 'digital hostage' styled use-cases and overall; these matters need to be addressed on a multitude of levels including digital, political, law and operational policies. I believe a distinction exists between those who are victimised into a situation vs. those who are otherwise healthy leaders and participants of activities harmful to others. I also believe our works have moreover focused on attention towards the activities of those who are in good-health, rather than in consideration of those who are trapped or otherwise not-well / 'free' and capable to make appropriate decisions of their own will. Related to this use-case is one of agents acting in inappropriate manners and these use-cases imho are particularly relevant for public servants (gov, law-enforcement, bureaucracy, etc.). The objective here is to ensure that we're not attempting to support human rights at the cost of the most vulnerable. saying we don't want to be tracked, can harm those who are being enslaved. We need a human centric web. i see differentiators between that and our service orientated heritage. I suggest inherent within these concepts are an array of situation that may well warrant effective medical use-case production. Everyone is vulnerable from these sorts of things; yet, none of us wish our vulnerabilities as 'flesh' to diminish our rights against the values of 'tools' (ie: companies, organised groups, hammers, machines, etc.). Yet if we are doing something that threatens our own wellbeing and that of others around us; i imagine we'd all want effective protections as to provide us 'social security'. Tim.H.
