@linuxfoundation So, what you’re saying is that we should not have laws that protect normal people from having their data farmed in ways that would make even the stasi blush?

It’s funny in a very sad way that something called the Linux foundation is having this extremely corporate boot licking message, considering that a good share of Linux desktop users are that to get away from the corporate spying.

„The Linux Foundation chose to host a workshop on the topic of open data at the 11th meeting of the World Open Innovation Conference. Fueling interest and participation in the workshop was the rapid growth of artificial intelligence software (AI), which requires extensive amounts of data to train the algorithms that AI employs.“

Ah, that's why… 🙄

The GDPR makes it harder for citizens to become learning material of shitty parrot programs, aka "AI". That's not a bug.

I suspect surprise at this …

… is b/c most don't know #LinuxFoundation has (for 10 yrs) slowly become less of a #FOSS org. LF has developed multiple proprietary platforms (e.g., https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/mar/13/lf-community-bridge/ ). Mike Dolan of LF is a friendly witness for #Vizio — a known #GPL violator (See https://sfc.ngo/vizio — we expect to release Dolan's transcript soon).

Pretty unfortunate catchline, I think.

The GDPR is for personal data. If your company is held back from opening up their data by the GDPR, either the data you have is data about me personally, in which case it should never be open, or you do not understand the GDPR.

So maybe "Lack of understanding for privacy regulation is fueling a climate oft risk aversion" would have been a more accurate headline.

@linuxfoundation I'm sorry, but that's just nonsense.

Privacy is important for individuals as a liberty against the state and state-like actors. Open data is something that states and state-like actors should provide to be properly, democratically controlled by the people.

Private data of invidivuals can be used with their informed consent, with the emphasis being on informed and consent. This is essential to manage risk and assure accountability.

The GDPR is the minimum safeguard.

@lbky @linuxfoundation is run by Americans and Americans have been trained to accept intrusive corporate Big Brother bullshit by the past third of a century of internet corps demanding free access to your personal deets so they can try to sell you stuff you don't need. Meanwhile, Europe still remembers what the Nazis did with all that yummy personal data their governments naively collected before WW2 … hence GDPR.
