I'm thinking about the standardized nutrition information labels required on foods we buy. We can easily pick it up and see how many grams of protein, carbs, sugar it has, and read the ingredients. Something like that for privacy would be great.

That is an interesting comparison, especially given how long it took to make an average person even read those once they were on the box (I'm not even sure how many people do).

Yes, or maybe a couple of standard licenses from which a company may choose.
