FYI everyone, the gov is about to change privacy law so that it can (legally) join up all your administrative data using the key derived from your census info & sell all our data for 'research' themandarin.com.au/91944-gov…

Government's $65m plan to establish a ‘National Data Commissioner’

A new statutory officer will independently manage the delicate balance between releasing open data from federal agencies for public benefit and risks to individual privacy, taking a lot of curly risk...

My latest for the @nytimes. The Strava debacle shows that individualized "informed consent" is not sufficient for data privacy. Given the complexity, companies cannot fully inform us, and thus we cannot fully consent. Data privacy is more a public good. nytimes.com/2018/01/30/opini…
