You don't need to have a PhD in computer science to understand what data is and what can be done by aggregating and reselling it. You just need some intelligence, curiosity and honest interest in the issue. If you pass laws on technology, maybe spend 30 hours and learn basic Python.
When people are treated as not able to understand a complex argument, you'll get a population that can't even digest most basic arguments.
- jampekka 2y agoThe analogy is not about technical or theoretical understanding of data. It's about how (personally identifiable) data should or should not be allowed to be used societally. Analogically its the same as not being allowed to sell your vote.
