MILL, JOHN STUART

1806–1873

The Harm Principle (The Right of Retreat, Restated)

Mill: power may rightfully be exercised over an individual against their will only to prevent harm to others. CoCA's Right of Retreat (§3.5) and its consent-first intake design are Millian in default. The institution does not retain what the applicant withdraws. The harm principle, applied to the archive, becomes the architecture of the deletion pathway. Four taps deep. The deletion exists.
