It’s crucial that we separate data about people from data about rocks. The former must belong to the people themselves and the latter to the commons. In other words, data about individuals belongs to individuals and data about the commons belongs to the commons.https://twitter.com/aral/status/981603352986505216 …

No one—neither corporations nor governments nor cities—have legitimacy in creating pools of/mandating access to data about individuals. Only individuals do. Democractically-elected governments, cities, etc., are the correct instruments for managing data about the commons.https://twitter.com/aral/status/981603707895844870 …

If your policies conflate data about rocks with data about people, the latter are going to get the short end of the stick. I cannot emotionally or physically hurt a rock; I cannot incarcerate a rock; I cannot deprive a rock of its life. I can do all that to people…https://twitter.com/aral/status/981604235254083584 …

All this to say that any proposal or policy that does not, at its root, separate data about people from data about rocks and guarantee strong, sovereign safeguards for the former is not worth considering as an option that’s compatible with human rights or democracy.https://twitter.com/aral/status/981604739405221890 …

“Data” without a qualifier is a meaningless term. Always ask: Are you talking about data about people or data about rocks?

Thank you for all the work you continue to do on this. I’ve put some thoughts into a paper that I think are compatible with yours: https://rubinius.gitbooks.io/whitepaper-code-compute-cash/content/ … See especially “Part 4. Benefits”. If this sounds helpful, I’d love to chat at some point. I know you’re super busy.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
