Just started, and already found a patrol route of Pakistan army, although it was quite obvious one, going parallel to a border river. Hope they don't take this down, it's going to entertain me for many days to come.
On a more serious note though, this is an good example of how important it is to control our own data. It only makes me take even more efforts to secure my data and to try to make less of it available to others.
We really need to convert Internet to what it was meant to be, a "decentralised system"
- kakarot 9y agoI don't think a heat map of your surrounding environment counts as "your data". Virtually every government seems to feel the same way, and in a rare moment I find myself in agreeance, even if this perspective currently manifests itself mostly in drug-related stings
- RandomCSGeek 9y agoNot the heat map of surroundings, but the map of routes taken by people, especially when it's not anonymised due to getting overlapped by other data, can surely be considered as personal data. Like in this case, it's with soldiers patrolling remote areas. I guess the devs who made this heatmap forgot that one should remove data when there is not enough info to anonymise it by virtue of aggregation.(overlapping of multiple paths in this case). What I was suggesting is that people should care about who gets to see the data they generate and try to minimise the count. btw I didn't understand what you meant in the second sentence.
