The start of this was a directed ideation from  Ian Oppermann  NSW Chief Data Scientist and CEO of NSW Data Analytics Centre. The Challenge: How do you design a privacy preserving data sharing framework based on these papers. They are well written and provide a very good framework for the question. Privacy in Data Sharing — A Guide for Business and Government (Nov 2018) Data Sharing Frameworks — Technical White paper (Sept 2017) A write up from the original work is here.  https://medium.com/@tonyfish/black-swans-and-the-value-of-sharing-data-portability-mobility-900cf12d0c7c Focus Safe People, Safe Projects Within this context, what is a safe project and safe people for a privacy perserviing data sharing idea? Where “safe” means in this context — privacy preserving. Ignoring other factors such as sensitivity, importance, ethics and outcomes. Assumption 1. The reconstruction/ re-identification problem PII (personally identifiable information) can be created from

Trust is not a destination! The purpose of this thought piece is to bring together strategic thinking on data, governance and trust values into one argument. The recommendation is that boards need to wake up There are two existing models of trust that are relevant to business. Let’s call them “experience trust” and “emotional trust.” We are going to explore two new models of trust, explain why they are so disruptive and create a strawman as a way of thinking about the way forward. Experience trust  is simple to grasp. Think about using your bank card, pushing the brake pedal in a car, getting on a plane, charging your phone, posting a picture on Facebook, using a vape pipe, drinking water, taking a taxi, texting, etc. Every time you do something the ‘experience’ functions, within reason, as you expect it to. Expected feedback loops reinforce a message that whatever you use can be trusted. Society depends on experience trust. It makes life simple and convenient. As the old

I wrote the original post in March 2010, about the screens of life and the competition to get in your data from the server to the brighly lit screen. The Six screens of life become 7 #mdfp Dark Screen  When writing my digital footprint I updated the Six screen’s of life work originally developed for mobile web 2.0 (extract on read/write web) However, I have now realised that I missed one out.  What is said in summary is that for the most part, we are consumers of content. In our daily lives we consume professionally created, produced and edited content from traditional and new media providers on our ‘six screens of life’. These screens are divided into two broad categories, big screens and small screens, each with three subgroups as per figure 2.   6 screens of life Both for big and small screens, the user has traditionally been a passive receiver of content (content has been broadcast to the user) or the user has been seen as a member of a carefully controlled and managed a

I am just unaware of how consent has become either of these two options?   Which director at either of these businesses has (any) viability of what their companies have done.  I have explored here why optin/ optout needs to come back to the board and these both show great reasons why? How is liking something informed consent ? @sportaustralia How is no option - apart from agree - consent ? @ITV and when I follow the links what do I get - a right old mess.  Change the settings that then gets ignored when I come back to agree, I get the default everything and far far more than you get a better experience - surveillance and tracking goodies. If this not mis-leading I have no idea what qualifies for mis-leading. 

Privacy means something unique to everyone and it depends on who you ask, how you ask and in what contest. However, privacy by law gives you the right to be let alone. It should enable you to have a space and freedom away from interference and intrusion. Other more subtle privacy ideas include: Information privacy is the right to have some control over how your personal information is collected and used. Personal privacy taking the general right of everyone but making it better for you than others State privacy. Part of the thinking that legislation such as the "Official Secrets Act" is set up to protect the state above the individual Group Privacy: protecting individuals rights at scale, when considering analysis and re-identification. …….There are lots more Transparency – according to Wiki ….. as used in science , engineering , business , the humanities and in other social contexts, is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are

Image source:  linking quantum and relativity We love the idea of a single unified theory of everything. One eloquent and beautiful equation which describes everything. It can unfold and from it, all that is, can and will be explained.  It would provide a rationale to the unexplained and a purpose for the unreasonable. Such an equation would have logic, it can be translated into an algorithm, which we can code and run. From this exiliar we can solve all questions of humanity and our future will be predictable. It raises lots of questions. If we found the equation surely we would dissolve the need for a soul, our belief would be worthless, hope would be irrelevant, faith pointless and luck would be a calculation. Chaos and humanity will give way to order and authority — the Matrix was real. Ignoring if possible or if that is what we want, physics helpfully starts to highlight one of many problems of any unified theory. Relativity ( big stuff) has one set of equations and behaviours
