Great food for thought, Ian. After reading it, my conundrum is this: If the privacy by design pragmatist approach really means thinking of privacy at the outset of something, does it not merge with the idealist approach when that thinking at the outset can’t find a way to protect privacy and thus ends it there? And does that thought make me a pragmatist or an idealist about the pragmatist approach?
