[NCUC-DISCUSS] Panama Papers - privacy, data and media manipulation - Re: Information Internet

[James Gannon]

And I suppose that comes down to part of my point is that the curation of information release that is being done is a good thing even though some may argue that its counter to transparent operations etc.

Its one thing for a prime minister to create a shell corporation to stash assets to avoid tax.
Its another thing for a person to create a Panama corporation to ensure the complete privacy of their clients when dealing with high sensitivity matters for example.

This is why I have little problem with the curated publishing of information that has a public good element such as politicians but wouldn’t support a wholesale disclosure ala wikileaks proposal.

If the stories which had emerged from the Panama Papers were about people stashing assets in Panama to avoid, say, their home government illegally seizing them, that would be one thing, but those aren't the stories that I have been reading
