Hi Justine, we appear to be working on much the same thing, reaching similar conclusions, but not exactly.

Having read this post and your more recent “Digital Footprints: Data and Digital Identity”, it would a pleasure to find some convenient time to discuss our common conclusions and, likely more interesting, our different takes.

To give this some context, I can reciprocate with a couple of links to my own stuff, below. Kind regards.
