"Jein" (German for "yno"). Look at it in historic context. This article can be seen as an anti-holocaust clause. Don't collect data that was too often used to harm minorities.
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoYet many data that aren't listed under it can also be used to harm minorities, and many data that are, can not. How exactly does biometric data to identify a person, but not a name and address to do the same differ in how much it can be used to harm minorities? They are both a means to uniquely triangulate the identity of a person, one is arbitrarily allowed but the other is not. It's as arbitrary as if not permitting murder with poisons, but permit it so long as it be done with a knife.
- anticristi 6y agoA database of names and addresses does not tell you who in that list is a minority. You can't do: SELECT address AS to_harm WHERE sexual_orientation IN ('unusual');
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoNeither does biometric data? How can I tell minority status from a fingerprint or retinal scan? It seems rather arbitrary to treat name and address differently from fingerprints. I would argue that minority status correlates more heavily with name than with retinal patterns.
- anticristi 6y agoI'm guessing that biometric data is sensitive, since it cannot be changed. You can change your name and address, but your biometric data will follow you for the rest of your life.
