Any dataset without a privacy statement shouldn't be published.  Existence of a privacy statement reveals that someone has at least thought about privacy related to the dataset, however briefly.


Without thinking too deeply about the implications of it, I really like this principle. Now, I shall spend the rest of the day thinking deeply about its implications.
