      My latest for the @nytimes. The Strava debacle shows that individualized "informed consent" is not sufficient for data privacy. Given the complexity, companies cannot fully inform us, and thus we cannot fully consent. Data privacy is more a public good. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/opinion/strava-privacy.html …pic.twitter.com/vcSeRIw1G5

      With enough data, all data is "personally-identifiable" data. With enough data, machine learning can suss out undisclosed traits. When combined, data can reveal things beyond anyone imagined. Informed consent is not a workable model—let alone "click accept" tiny font legalese.

      Yep. Let's monetize our data person my person is not a solution. It's like saying let's solve traffic congestion by letting the rich fly helicopters over cities. It will create more problems than it solves—and not just inequality.https://twitter.com/funferal/status/958328252468166656 …

      "Data privacy is ... a public good" - interesting insights as always from @zeynep. Compare and contrast to proposals (US-centric) that personal data be monetised as a personal asset - which would exacerbate the inequalities driven by big data. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/958325186310307840 …

      Since Strava itself obviously couldn't foresee what their data would reveal in combination, I'm not going to put it in the user to somehow foresee all current potential uses--let alone what machine learning will bring in the future. Unworkable. https://twitter.com/FlorianWinter/status/958328796003872768 …

      This article by @zeynep really nails the current privacy dilemma. Privacy = "like air quality": a complex system in dire need of regulation. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/opinion/strava-privacy.html …

      A great thread from @feamster (a runner!) on the real benefits of the Strava heatmap as a public good. We don’t disagree on the challenges of informed consent or inadvertent future uses of data—but he convinced me there are better (bigger) examples. https://twitter.com/feamster/status/958445642061410304 …

      On my way to @scifri studio to talk about what informed consent means (or doesn’t mean) in the age of big data and artificial intelligence where so few can predict what any piece of data means for future uses.https://twitter.com/gavinsblog/status/959517448985866240 …

      Humans of Twitter: I *should* be on @scifri in a bit with @zeynep speaking about the @Strava heatmap and related issues like privacy and security. You can listen live here: https://www.pri.org/listen
