Information & Ethics committee  Yes, whether it's 18 or not. I think with anything before age 18, you should be able to get a clean slate and make it all just go away.

Information & Ethics committee  Again, it speaks to the earlier comment. It's the kind of remedy that would work well with social media, for example. I would know where my information was because I gave it to that particular organization. Information about me that floats around is typically only brought to li

Information & Ethics committee  Those are good questions. It seems to me that destroying data means magnetizing it, making it go away so that it's no longer held at all. I am very skeptical about the ability to anonymize data, and I think the loophole it creates is this space for de-identified or anonymized

Information & Ethics committee  Okay. Typically, as I said, in a regulatory regime, we figure that if someone discloses something then it's no longer private, whereas their notion of privacy is relational, and they want to negotiate it with different audiences. If I post something on my Instagram account, a

What they're looking for is more control over their information. So even again, when you look at cyber-bullying as

Information & Ethics committee  I'd refer you to the statement that's been put together by the Electronic Privacy and Information Center. They have an interesting statement of rights when it comes to algorithmic transparency. In a lot of ways, it's already in our legislation. They have to tell us what they're d

Information & Ethics committee  I would agree, yes.
