You Can’t Opt Out of Sharing Your Data, Even If You Didn’t Opt In
- sverige 8y agoThese quotes from TFA are spot on: > “One of the fascinating things we’ve now walked ourselves into is that companies are valued by the market on the basis of how much user data they have,” said Daniel Kahn Gillmor, senior staff technologist with the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project. and > [There is] very little regulation addressing what data can be collected, how it should be protected, or what can be done with it. I am beginning to think we should expand HIPAA to all personal data collected by all companies, not just data collected by medical providers. I generally hate regulation, but it makes sense if we decide as a society that want to preserve the idea of privacy, since there are no disincentives for collecting and sharing as much data as companies can get, and lots of incentives for doing just that.
