The Silicon Valley model that privacy can be negotiated person by person rather as a whole with full externalities: networked, without practical obscurity, searchable, mass, permanent etc, is 100% wrong.

Privacy of data simply cannot be negotiated person by person, especially because there's no meaningful informed consent. People cannot comprehend what their data will reveal especially *in conjuction* with other data. Even companies do not know this, so they cannot inform anyone.

I'll emphasize: In the digital age, there is NO meaningful informed consent with regards to data privacy that operates at an individual level. Current implications are unknown; future uses are unknowable. Companies structurally cannot inform and we are in no position to consent.

Nobody knows what machine learning will be able fairly successfully to infer about what set of data in the future, and what piece plays what role. People have hard time comprehending what a searchable database of many people's data reveal, etc. THERE IS NO INFORMED CONSENT HERE.

"Check your privacy settings"—which is your standard Silicon Valley response—is no response. In the digital age, data privacy simply cannot be negotiated and consented to at the individual level.

@zeynep I'm all for acknowledging the risks of re-identification and using formal methods but this is not what the issue is here. At best, it's a group privacy questionThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
