Jessica Rich, Wired; BEYOND FACEBOOK: IT’S HIGH TIME FOR STRONGER PRIVACY LAWS
"This is an issue of personal security and safety. Just as we needed safety laws for seat belts and cigarettes, we need common-sense laws for online privacy.
Here’s a good place to start. Let’s require companies to post clear information about their data practices—no, not buried in privacy policies or Terms of Service, but prominently displayed in a simple, easy-to-understand, and standardized “dashboard” so consumers can compare companies’ practices. Let’s give consumers an easy, consistent way to say 'yes' or 'no' to data uses that go beyond the reason they provided it, and 'yes' or 'no' to having their data shared with third parties like Cambridge Analytica."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, explored in the "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" and "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD
