Sounds like a good way to have "anonymized" data that isn't actually anonymized like most datasets ...
- prepend 5y agoThat’s part of the downside of “anonymized” data as there’s not any clear legal definitions so it’s quite possible to identify some persons within anonymized data. I think this is a big problem when it comes to stuff like data brokering and selling. Less so with issues like this because vaccine data researchers are less likely to cause harm to someone than others who buy anonymized data.
