Dear Alessandro,
"what the future holds about personal data privacy" is a challenging
question because we give most of our personal data everday for our daily
routines like health, transportation, enrollments, accomodation and
shopping with "good faith", but most of it can be and in deed literally
used with "bad faith".

I believe there can be useful cases that have already been filmed (and
awarded in 2013) in TV series called " Black Mirror".
There are so many examples and inspiring details about use of personal
data, privacy, political, ethical social transformations, etc. in some
episodes.

best regards,

Can Uckan Yüksel,
