The sort of privacy John advocates for is necessary but not sufficient. The devil is in the details though. GDPR is a credible first attempt at thinking in terms of sovereign responsibility about the protection of citizens' data, but it is obviously riddled with hard problems in this early stage. How would one go about guaranteeing corporate compliance with such a demand for anonymization in the collection of learning data, for instance? I think an open data connector that can see the stream and route it through a trusted scrubber would be a necessity, but that trusted scrubber would be a tremendous point of vulnerability and would probably need to be open source and de-centralized to have credibility, and secure to prevent spoofing. -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable from any major commercial search engine.
