How about the EFF's https://www.eff.org/who-has-your-back-government-data-requests-2015 https://www.eff.org/who-has-your-back-government-data-reques...? If you have specific items you think should be on the list, why don't you reach out to them and suggest it?
- kbenson 11y agoBesides being too broad, it tracks only a few items. I outlined five possible states above for how a company deals with a subject, a sixth would be "unknown". The EFF just has a star, which considering their goal, which is similar but not quite the same, is fine. They are looking to encourage companies to change by influencing the consumers as well, but I think they are going for a more emotional influence, while I am espousing a more informational influence. Make it easier to see the specifics in a more granular fashion so consumers can be informed. Additionally I'm not entirely sure how to split out all the different things to track with regard to privacy, which is why I think it's a big project. But I see a need, and I think someone could do well for themselves filling that need.
- ikeboy 11y agoI think expanding this EFF project would be both easier and better than starting your own, if they were interested. You get added publicity for free plus credibility. They could have an expanded version with more details, which satisfies both goals.
- kbenson 11y agoI agree, but I'm not sure how amenable they are. It really depends on their goal for that page, and whether they think it achieves it better in it's current state. Unfortunately, I'm far too burdened with commitments to do this myself, so it's more a call to arms than a statement of intent. :/
