I don't think that looking too far ahead is useful: this is just a matter of pragmatics. Revolutionary change in a peaceful society happens via a long sequence of small, incremental changes, and that's a good thing, because you get to see how each of the changes plays out. I think the best sci-fi persuades you that it's looking at the distant future when in fact it's only using the future as a foil to provide deep insight into the present.
The short-term, the small, incremental changes I'd like to see are:
1. Reversal of the default privacy setting of government docs. Instead of documents being default-private and citizens having to make FOIA requests to make those documents public, documents should be default-public, and government workers should have to apply through and adversarial system (similar to courts) to classify documents, proving to a court why the document needs to be classified.
2. Classified documents should have a short (1 year max) timeframe after which they are declassified, or government workers should have to reapply to justify why the documents need to remain classified.
3. Political party documents should be public, without any provision for classifying them.
4. Tax-exempt organization documents should be public, without any provision for classifying them.
5. IPO'ed organization documents should be public, without any provision for classifying them.
6. Body cams on all police and military while on duty (when they are acting on behalf of an organization). 1 and 2 would apply to the footage from these cams as well.
7. Exceptions to 1-6 should be made for the personally-identifiable information of people who are not in the organization.
8. Organizations should be required to maintain a list of all the personally-identifiable information they have on a person (including employees), and provide that data to that person on demand by that person or their legal guardian, as well as a list of all people with whom that data has been shared, and be required to delete that information upon request by that person or their legal guardian.
9. Research which receives public funding should be forced to publish its results publicly.
10. All software which receives public funding should be forced to publish its source publicly.
11. Government documents should be published in open-source formats suitable for computer analysis (i.e. CSV, text, or some XML format--no PDFs).
