“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
It's odd to describe Vint Cerf as Google's Chief Internet Evangelist, a largely honorary and emeritus position, as opposed to co-creator of TCP/IP for which is is famous.

Is there any way to make personal data usage within companies more transparent and verifiable? Are there known studies/works in this line of thought? In an ideal world, what can we do to make data usage more transparent?
This is Vint Cerf, co-creator of TCP/IP (aka the internet protocol). He's better known by his actual name, isn't he?
