Really we need to stop relying on third parties to use our data "correctly" no-one has the time and expertise to carfully read and understand what these third parties say they intend to do with the data and then actually verify that they did what they said.
It is much easier to just assume these third parties will do whatever they want and either not share the data or accept that it will be used in ways you can't control.
- asdkhadsj 7y agoI agree, but I can't imagine a world where the internet works any different than currently in your scenario. Eg, right now (or at least a few years ago) companies could basically do anything with your data. And they did. It's getting worse too, with advanced techniques on identifying individuals across website bounds, etc. That is what is spawning these sorts of debates, laws, etc. So my question to you is while I agree that we have to assume malice (for ease of discussion), we can't actively allow or encourage malice right? So if we do nothing, do we just accept that they do who knows what with our data? Ie, I think we mostly agree that what is going on right (with our data) now is bad. So don't we have to do something? What do you see as the right solution?
