This from @FrankPasquale feels ever more important as "privacy-preserving bad ideas" keep emerging to address our public health crisis. Sometimes the answer has to be a simple no, let's not do that. https://lpeblog.org/2019/11/25/the-second-wave-of-algorithmic-accountability/
policy and other professionals removed from the consequences of their ideas in terms of personal interactions with power continue to stress me out considerably
a big problem with this whole lens of "digital all the things" in which we live right now (economy/society/etc.) is that there is a range of professionals that are highly incentivized to be relevant and do anything other than stand down.
good moment to share something I learned in the last few years: Canada has incredible bench strength in surveillance studies, which conceives of power, and political power, differently than (my opinion) privacy scholarship. See and read: David Lyon @murakamiwood @savasavasava
(lists are never a good idea, but from there a lot more will flow - I say these three as people formative to my learning)
maybe, just maybe, what's happening right now is that the consumer paradigm (privacy) is being forced to give way to the state power paradigm (surveillance studies) - they've been blurring forever and this is not a perfect way to describe the thought, but something might be there
something about the way privacy is legally conceived
in a liberal democracy (around the individual) has been more prominent in consumer circles and has been overly-influential in the non-consumer context - so that has crept along/impacted where we are right now culturally

ps (and oh does it say something about the people I interact with in these worlds that I'm adding this footnote lol)... I'm not saying anything here is new thought, it's me working through it out loud - if you have suggested related readings please do share them :)
