[MyData & Open Data] Blog on open data ABOUT privacy

[Phil Booth]

Sure. We understand psychology and behavioural economics – but without transparency and consent (which we’re not even close to yet) you don’t get a ‘free market’ for privacy. You get systemic misuse, abuse and worse...

Hi, I don’t want to open up a huge debate (yet ;-) but! 

 

transparency and consent will only get you so far, worth looking at the wok of Alessandro Acquisti on behavioural economics applied to privacy (quick summary: humans seem unable to make sensible decisions)

Great Post Reuben, 

 

Another reason why open data about transparency over data control is so important and an indicator of how this transparency (or Open Notice) can solve lots of personal data problems we face today.

Reuben Binns has posted an excellent blog on our Working Group’s page on his research around a little know open-data-set: the UK Register of Data Controllers.  

 

The data is about what organisations declare they might do, not what they do in practice, but it raises lots of interesting questions.
