Here we go again. A new great example how the neoliberal thinking and narrative just simply fails on humans. You want to give your data to corporate America and assume that they will be careful about protecting it? Than I am laughing hard at you. SMH The stupidity of free markets and the myth of self regulation. Ridiculous.
That's why it's more important than ever that we support and implement new important initiatives like that of Tim Berner Lee's. He wants a platform that gives users control of their data. Very good idea IMO.
- noir_lord 9y agoFree market should mean regulated to create a level playing field not no regulations at all. Of course then you have regulatory capture to deal with but nothing is perfect
- ThomPete 9y agoI am pretty familiar with the idea and conceptually I am a proponent for it but the question becomes who pays for the hosting of your data, what's the incentives to get me to store it and for others to use only the data that I have? I am also sceptic with regards to corporations having the data but government owning it doesn't make it much better. In Denmark you mostly need to get access to one place in the system and you potentially have access to the data across the different verticals, Danish system is also SSN based. The biggest problem though is what is the alternative to a credit bureau system?
