"We take the existence of borders for granted simply because we’ve always been told they are real, and the borders with our neighbors have remained unchanged during our lifetimes.

In reality, they are not real. In fact, while I can say with all certainty this will not happen in the foreseeable future, it is entirely possible that all of the borders dividing all of the countries all over this world could be erased in a single day.

In a sense, we are hostages of the countries in which we are born, held captive by artificial borders. We are not asked if we would like to be a citizen of the nation in which we’re born."

An example of misguided advocacy. The problem here isn't that there aren't enough "can we share?" tick boxes. The problem with big data disrimination is the "big" part. Data ownership has become far too centralized within silo systems in which a few people make all the decisions. Can these people be made accountable? Not really. To start with corporations are not run democratically, but even if they were the ratio between "data subjects" and "data controllers" is such that governance won't be possible and you'd just have the "westminster village" effect.
