The privacy I was talking about was privacy when creating data from some
specific experiment. For example, drug tests, or surveys, or whatever. I would
not want my name to be available on that data set, to show what my specific
data were. Those data are not on the public record.

Subject: Re: [okfn-discuss] what are the arguments against open data
I also wanted to make a comment about some concerns (as someone said often by
new comers) about privacy. When countering that objection it is important to
see if people are talking about privacy or obscurity. There is much information
that may be considered by some to be private (names and addresses) that are
already on the public record (e.g. some US state lists of gun owners).
Just my thoughts...
