    The step from "people" to "people who use Facebook" here is worth pondering, trust me. Like most user-centred stuff FB misses out group & societal needs & doesn't see the impact & tradeoffs around ppl who aren't users.

    Some words for about 's shocking decision to share data including statuses without users' consent - and their even more shockingly inadequate response.

    "As a young gay man living with HIV, I recently put on my profile that I’m positive and undetectable. I did not consent to Grindr sharing that data", writes

    Caught up with the joint team on this late last week. Some really great thinking starting about the _new_ services that could be created with better design patterns for data about multiple people. Lots of seemingly unexplored use cases & opportunities. Fun :)

    How does the right to data portability interact with the fact that data can often be about multiple people? We're working with to investigate... (Via , post by )

    People create their own systems :) And long may they do so!

    So there was a MYSTERY at the library today. A wee old women came in and said "I've a question. Why does page 7 in all the books I take out have the 7 underlined in pen? It seems odd." "What?" I say, thinking she might be a bit off her rocker. She showed me, and they did.

    hear hear, this is worth re-stating "Need to balance problem-focused approaches with building core data infrastructure" says

    Replying to @JeniT @oso @martintisne
    Also find come up against certain barriers (whether missing data, standards, tech, guidance, training, evidence) again and again. Need to balance problem-focused approaches with building core data infrastructure. Inform the latter through the former.

    Governments, businesses and communities strategically plan, fund and govern our physical infrastructure, and we should treat data in the same way

    But GDPR shouldn't be the standard. It should be a baseline but need to go further. eg. open APIs, with strong governance, to embody rights; open reference data; aggregated data & access to data for (real) research, group privacy, data about multiple ppl
