I'm actually submitting this because, as shown in the comments section, I don't really agree with much of what this writer says about open data being in any way intrinsically dangerous/destructive. Curious as to how others feel about the premise of this piece. I do on the other hand, agree that for open data to have broad, empowering impact, it needs to be made not just available, but accessible/easy-to-use for more people.
