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 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👋" title="Waving hand" aria-label="Emoji: Waving hand"> thx website friends
ps (and oh does it say something about the people I interact with in these worlds that I& #39;m adding this footnote lol)... I& #39;m not saying anything here is new thought, it& #39;s me working through it out loud - if you have suggested related readings please do share them :)
