- chokeartist 6y agoI agree with you in spirit but my experience is those data collection consent forms are mere formalities. I have seen my data collected/shared in numerous cases even when I didn't consent or affirm my agreement to such. Not trying to demoralize. My point is I want something with real teeth (legal teeth). Damage to a company's reputation can be repaired in a quarter or few.
- smarx007 6y agoI actually disagree that people should be able to opt out of contact tracing during a pandemic. Also, how do you opt out of a medical history? Doctors cannot treat you properly without one. I think proper infosec is the only way here or pen and paper if one cannot do that.
- black_puppydog 6y agoOr, you know, reducing the amount of data collected in the first place and deleting/permanently anonymizing it once it is no longer useful.
- smarx007 6y agoAbsolutely, that's "data minimisation" in GDPR! All of the data collected should have been available only to the doctors with a need and researchers should have gotten an anonymised DB. But there is a problem of ML-assisted deanonymisation, so it cannot be a solution alone.
- black_puppydog 6y agoThat's why deletion/non-collection is strictly preferable.
