What about renting data?
In that way, it is not once off but for instance per "query" or time, same way Amazon is "selling" us books. Those books are not quite ours, so data companies would buy are not quite theirs?
- pmiller2 6y agoYou'd need a way to disable access to your data that doesn't involve suing big companies that have lots of lawyers. And, there's no way to prevent them from copying it.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoIt would mean that the government / judicial system would have Very Deep Access and control over the businesses to ensure whether this data is handled properly. On a smaller scale this happens in Europe (as a whole and individual countries) with the GDPR and co; audits or complaints about data ownership, required disclosure under penalty of fines for data leaks, etc. They can hire as many lawyers as they want but they will be punished if they're not careful with user's data.
- NiceWayToDoIT 6y agoWouldn't that be the same as copying books or music, we could copyright/authorright our private data, in that way any unauthorized data copy would mean infringement and fines. Authorities would have ability to check databases.
- pmiller2 6y agoCopyright is a very, very bad example here, since it's only enforced by aggrieved parties through the legal system. Would you want to take on Facebook in a copyright lawsuit? And, as for these databases, how is anyone going to be able to tell whether, say, Facebook really has your data, or, if it's just gotten opaquely encoded somewhere in some ML algorithm?
