A Cypherpunk's Manifesto
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

Time-lock puzzle
A time-lock puzzle, or time-released cryptography, encrypts a message that cannot be decrypted until a specified amount of time has passed. The concept was first described by Timothy C. May,[1] and a solution first introduced by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and David A. Wagner in 1996.[2] Time-lock puzzle are useful in cases where confidentiality of information is determined by time, such as a diarist who does not want their views released until 50 years after their death, an auction where bids are sealed until the bidding period is closed, electronic voting, and contract signing.[1][3] They can additionally be used in creating further cryptographic primitives, such as verifiable delay functions and zero knowledge proofs.[3]

Introductions and kick off
Hello, I’m Simon Horrobin. I’m working on a couple of projects which are ATproto relevant… one to handle sport and health data, the other for managing publishing workflow. Both of these need privacy to varying degrees. I think about this in a few axes… who can create, view, edit, delete, grant, revoke, all over time and state.

Disclosure: Psychology Changes Everything
We review literature examining the effects of laws and regulations that require public disclosure of information. These requirements are most sensibly imposed in situations characterized by misaligned incentives and asymmetric information between, for example, a buyer and seller or an advisor and advisee. We review the economic literature relevant to such disclosure and then discuss how different psychological factors complicate, and in some cases radically change, the economic predictions. For example, limited attention, motivated attention, and biased assessments of probability on the part of information recipients can significantly diminish, or even reverse, the intended effects of disclosure requirements. In many cases, disclosure does not much affect the recipients of the information but does significantly affect the behavior of the providers, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. We review research suggesting that simplified disclosure, standardized disclosure, vivid disclosure, and social comparison information can all be used to enhance the effectiveness of disclosure policies.
