Making best of a
bad bargain ?
-------------------------------------
I will repeat what I have been saying for the past
couple of years
Protecting your own personal / private data from being
used by all sorts of businesses for making money, is getting impossible
So , why not “ sell “ it yourself and , in the process
, make some money ?
Cut out the middleman !
Of course , such a “ new rule of the game “ , will
require some sensible DATA PROTECTION LAW which goes beyond mere “ protection “
and enables “ empowerment “
I believe , GDPR . launched in EU on 25th
May , may somewhat protect such “ Unauthorised Mis-use “
of a person’s data but it fails to “ empower “ that person to permit “ Authorised Re-use “ of his data by third parties ,
and in the process , make money for himself !
To overcome this ( lack of empowerment ) , I proposed
:
Now, I have found a support for my idea
Extract :
Alice Liogier wants to slap a price on her data.
The 23-year-old graduate student from Paris is
researching the commercial use of personal information in the age of big data
and she’s reached a controversial conclusion:
If people really do own their data, then they should
be allowed to sell it.
It’s not about privacy, she says, it’s
about ownership and control.
“The debate right now is focused on data
protection and privacy -- that’s where fears have crystallized,” Liogier says.
“But selling data and data ownership is the next big topic, and probably the
most important topic.”
Real data ownership will mean having all
your information from political ideas, to skin-care preferences and medical
records in one place so you
can decide who gets to access it and on what terms.
That could mean selling it, granting
limited use in exchange for a service (like Facebook), or simply keeping it
private. The point is to have control.
