The solution for the transparency group is having a central database that is accessible by everyone and that contains all the information of everyone. Their main arguments are:
- No more hidden terms and conditions.
- We are entitled to know what is happening in the world.
- Confidential information in HR recruitment - you need to know what went wrong so that you can improve.
- Evidence can be tampered - this is not good. In a transparent world we can know the evidence right away or know that it was tampered.
- Foreign relations - being transparent will kill secrets, if the parties know everything about each other then there’s no reason for suspicion.
- We would know that politicians were corrupt, that someone threw the trash in the street, etc.
- Economics - reality in food/shopping

- Protecting the judgment of others
