Title: Privacy, Big Data and the Public Good: The Legal Framework
Author(s): Victoria Stodden*+
Companies: Columbia University

Abstract:

The change in the ways in which data are collected means that the legal frame-work within which data is used, namely the framework within which data are accessed and social science research conducted, has changed. These changes include the authority to collect data as well as the ownership and stewardship of data. Victoria will discuss different views expressed in the book on the meaning of privacy in the context of big data, the inadequacy of protection from harm and hence the meaninglessness of "informed consent" as well as the change in the paradigm of as to what is reasonably private, and what constitutes unwarranted intrusion. She will also address proposed approaches, including the development of amarket system, "walled gardens" and portable informed consent.
