Nov 12nd Reading Response-Qi

According to the readings, here are my responses.

Where do they collect data? What data they are collecting? What will the data be used? Who decides?

1, The purpose of the data

Data should be like commons, everyone contributes and benefits from it.

Whether data is used for researches that benefit public good or used to exploit us is very different. If it’s the latter, we will end up with data oligarch and monopoly eventually.

2, The ownership of the data

Data should be public, or at least very cheap, or have different licenses in terms of commercial use, research or personal interests

3, Whether the data will be stored permanently? Can we forget? (link NYC only store data for 7 days)

4, Is the user fully aware of how their data will be used and has the right to turn it off?
