Data protection & privacy - Assumptions

Reading Comp.Technology / Policy passageRC - Assumption validation● Medium

Question

Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:

1Protection of privacy is not just a right, but it has value to the economy.
2There is a fundamental link between privacy and innovation.

Options

a

1 only

b

2 only

c

Both 1 and 2

Answer
d

Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Evaluate the structural premises of both statements against the text:

Assumption 1 is valid because the author explicitly links data protection to the "growth of the digital economy," asserting that data privacy holds distinct economic value .

Assumption 2 is valid as the text directly states that "No one will innovate in a surveillance-oriented environment," making user privacy a mandatory foundational prerequisite for technological innovation.

Since both underlying assumptions are essential to the author's logic, option (c) is correct[cite: 4210, 4211, 4212, 4213, 4214].

When an RC selection outlines an environment where concept X is mandatory to unlock concept Y, it fundamentally assumes a necessary link between X and Y.

Answer: (c).
