Thiel correctly identifies transparency as one of the key aspects of the Web. Our great fear is that only individual users, private persons, become transparent, while organized users, especially governments and corporations, remain opaque. This opacity, of course, shifts power in favor of the organizations. However, Thiel holds out the hope that transparency, or the loss of privacy, may be a real benefit if everyone and every organization becomes transparent. Privacy goes away, but so does secrecy. That might be a fine thing.
