      I wonder how this will differ from the ill-fated attempt by Admiral Insurance to use Facebook posts to price car insurance in the UK: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/nov/02/facebook-admiral-car-insurance-privacy-data …. (There, *Facebook* pulled the plug before Admiral’s program even began.)https://twitter.com/sa0un/status/1091084990354522113 …

      New York will allow life insurers to use social media data to set rates, but here's the catch: Insurers will have to show these practices are "free of bias against racial minorities and other groups protected by law" Let's see how this unfolds... https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-insurers-can-evaluate-your-social-media-useif-they-can-prove-why-its-needed-11548856802 …

      If your insurance rates are affected by your social media posts, brace for advice like that of the WSJ, below, to present (and live?) your life not for your Instagram pals but for ... your insurer.

      ... if this really takes off, it’ll be a race to optimize rates by crunching data to surface any correlations, not just what we’d think obvious like “don’t post skydiving pictures.” The result: An insurance advising app that previews an innocuous-looking post and says, “naah.”

      The app won’t be able to say why it’s telling you not to post a picture (or, more fundamentally, do what the picture portrays). Insurance cos will keep their pricing formulas secret so they can’t be gamed, because the rate tell-tales will be based on correlation, not causation.

      Oh wow. So thorny. And bias re:protected categories is just one complexity and even that’s not even easy to define.
