Not the grandparent poster, but I would have preferred if you'd either ommitted this part or provided some justification for why you feel it isn't a ~~public~~ non-rivalrous good.

I defined public information as having the property of: free access. I don't believe information inherently is public for the same reason I believe in privacy.

is there public information? sure. there's also private information.

"Public good" has a specific definition in an economic context.

The definition you are using is not that.
