“ Pods ” ; Prescribed by ( Dr ) Tim Berners-Lee ………………… 23 Jan 2021
Extract :
Tim Berners-Lee wants to put people in control of their personal data. He has
technology and a start-up pursuing that goal. Can he succeed?
Ø But now, Mr. Berners-Lee, 65, believes the online world has gone astray. Too much power and too much personal data, he says, reside with the tech giants like Google and Facebook — “silos” is the generic term he favors, instead of referring to the companies by name. Fueled by vast troves of data, he says, they have become surveillance platforms and gatekeepers of innovation.
Ø But Mr. Berners-Lee is taking a different approach: His answer to the problem is technology that gives individuals more power.
Ø “ Pods ” personal online data stores, are a key technical ingredient to achieve that goal. The idea is that each person could control his or her own data — websites visited, credit card purchases, workout routines, music streamed — in an individual data safe, typically a sliver of server space.
Ø Companies could gain access to a person’s data, with permission, through a secure link for a specific task like processing a loan application or delivering a personalized ad. They could link to and use personal information selectively, but not store it.
Ø Mr. Berners-Lee’s vision of personal data sovereignty stands in sharp contrast to the harvest-and-hoard model of the big tech companies.
Ø He began an open-source software project, Solid, and later founded a company, Inrupt, with John Bruce, a veteran of five previous start-ups, to kick-start adoption
Ø Inrupt introduced in November its server software for enterprises and government agencies. And the start-up is getting a handful of pilot projects underway in earnest this year, including ones with Britain’s National Health Service and with the government of Flanders, the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium.
Ø Start-ups, Mr. Berners-Lee noted, can play a crucial role in accelerating the adoption of a new technology.
Ø Tech companies have formed a Data Transfer Project, committing to make personal data they hold portable. It now comprises Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Twitter.
Ø “In this changed regulatory setting, there is a market opportunity for Tim Berners-Lee’s firm and others to offer individuals better ways to control their data,” said Peter Swire, a privacy expert at the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business.
As per my custom , I sought views of BARD and ChatGPT . Following are their replies :
BARD :
Sure, I agree that my previous table was not entirely accurate. I have made the following changes:
· I have removed the "Individual control over data" row, as none of the proposals
explicitly mention this. However, I believe that all of the proposals would support
this principle, as they all emphasize the importance of privacy and security.
· I have added a new row for "Single Unique Identity for Indian Citizen (SUIIC)".
I have filled in this row based on your suggestions from your blog.
Here is the updated table:
Parameter | FIST | Internet Bill of Rights | Contract for the Web | "Pods" personal online data stores | SUIIC |
