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& #39;s not do that. https://lpeblog.org/2019/11/25/the-second-wave-of-algorithmic-accountability/">https://lpeblog.org/2019/11/2...

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& #39;s happening right now is that the consumer paradigm (privacy) is being forced to give way to the state power paradigm (surveillance studies) - they& #39;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

“we” :/.... in any case this is a good place as ever to try and think this out a bit
