This belief was caused by the Computer and its Information Economy.
Information (of any kind) was valuable. Especially to unscrupulous persons, who could use it to dominate other persons.
The solution for this was to make some information personal, make it the property of the individual. And forbid other people to use it.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? But this requires regulation by people who can tell what is private and what is not.
But this is difficult, and in many cases, impossible.
Take what I am writing now, in this blog. Who owns it? This one of the difficult questions of our time, that most people solve by not thinking about it.
