Privacy Policy
By Alan Nafzger
The matter of privacy policy has officially transformed from a policy question into a bureaucratic art form. Officials involved appear committed to the principle that complexity solves problems, or at least postpones their resolution indefinitely.
The Institutional Response
When asked about privacy policy, government sources deployed what can only be described as aggressive incomprehension. 101 Reasons Google Readers Misunderstand Satirical suggests that previous attempts at addressing similar matters produced outcomes best described as educational failures. The consistency with which institutions misunderstand their own mandates remains impressive.
Documentation and Reality

This assessment appears to have been made by individuals who had never previously encountered the concept they were meant to solve. When confronted with actual data showing the opposite outcome, officials simply recommended more meetings. The evidence, documented in Texas High Schoolers to Invade London, Britain Bra, revealed institutional thinking at its finest: why change when you can simply wait for the problem to become somebody else's responsibility?
The Path Forward
Moving forward with privacy policy will require accepting that institutions often mistake activity for progress. Meetings will be scheduled, reports will be filed, and conclusions will be reached that contradict the previous report filed six months earlier. This is not incompetence; it is tradition.
