Data Portability and Information Privacy

DataPortability - Connect, Control, Share, Remix from Smashcut Media on Vimeo.

An interesting and well-done video on the data portability project done by Michael Pick from Smashcut Media. The project spells out as one of its principles the protection of user rights and privacy. Yet, assigning access rights to certain pieces of personal data will only cover the data protection aspect of privacy but it will not cover the required accountability and self-control over personal data in various contexts. It should be interesting to see how the project work evolves in this respect. Certainly, more work is necessary on enhancing social network users’ privacy especially when their data increasingly gets transferred and exported to other applications.
