  • In a world where bits of personal data are mined from customers and silently sold off and shuffled among corporations, Seay, 46, appears to be the victim of marketing gone horribly wrong.
  • World Privacy Forum, a nonprofit public interest research group based in San Diego, noting that this is just one example of the information such companies probably hold.

  • "Why do they have that?" Seay said of the information about his daughter's death. "What do they need that for? How she died, when she died? It's not really personal, but looking at them, it is. That's not something they would ever need."
  • Dixon's group has found companies selling data on rape victims, seniors suffering from dementia and people diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. She said companies created powerful data sets by combining personal information available from public records, census information and social media."All of us are on these lists, and right now we don't even have the right to find out what list we're on or what they say about us," Dixon said. "And I think it's becoming increasingly important for us to see this information and have some rights so we can get off these lists. For this father and mother, I can't think of a worse thing."

  • informational signals.
  • reputational pressures, which lead people to silence themselves or change their views in order to avoid some penalty—often, merely the disapproval of others.

  • When they make poor or self-destructive decisions, one or more of these problems are usually to blame: Groups do not merely fail to correct the errors of their members; they amplify them. They fall victim to cascade effects, as group members follow the statements and actions of those who spoke or acted first. They become polarized, taking up positions more extreme than those they held before deliberations. They focus on what everybody knows already—and thus don’t take into account critical information that only one or a few people have.
  • Silence the leader.
  • “Prime” critical thinking.
  • Reward group success.
  • Assign roles.
  • Appoint a devil’s advocate.
  • Establish contrarian teams.
  • The Delphi method.
