“Retaining option to deidentify rather than delete personal info in the CDR is likely to lead to privacy damage, not consumer value.” says @chrisculnane speaking on data & privacy at @MelbLawSchool @DigCitzCon #DigCitz2019

A key innovation of the European #GDPR is the inclusion of conditional consent in Article 7. @damicli highlights that in the EU consent to access an individual's data must be freely given and not conditional e.g. in exchange for the provision of a service #DigCitz2019 @DigCitzCon

The moral basis of #privacy is well understood... Dr Martin Joy asks: what is the moral basis for the Consumer Data Right? Economic welfare is prioritised over autonomy. Autonomy is contingent, limited & for a purpose. @DigCitzCon #datapolicy

“We’re sharing data with someone we share a common commercial interest” @Katharine_Kemp dives into standard opacity embedded in another vague privacy policy. Costs are imposed on consumers... & consumers don’t have the power to bargain. #datapolicy @DigCitzCon

@esantow asks - where are the test cases challenging unlawful discrimination or law enforcement data sweeping on the basis of algorithmic bias? We need to be smarter about the ‘liberty vs security’ false dichotomy #auslaw #auspol #digcitz2019 @AusHumanRights @DigCitzCon
