Klaus Schwab, the Aspen Institute and others flip the meaning of a word that once meant the empowerment of populations against political elites

Transparency for decades was understood to mean a pro-democratic concept giving ordinary citizens the power to see how their government operates, how taxes are spent, and whether or not public officials are complying with laws.

When elite politicians and media figures speak of “transparency” now, they mean giving government power to obtain “transparency” into the activities of private citizens.

Don’t let anyone tell you transparency means surrendering your privacy to the state. It’s supposed to be the other way around.
