>>13642083The idea of the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts is probably the most interesting and ambiguous one in data science.
Like most of it is pretty clear cut, people should have the right to know who is spying on them, who has what information about them and the ability to refuse to have information collected. That's pretty fucking cut and dry.
But what about when information is created through synthesizing data points, let's say someone knowing and willfully gives away a piece of data over here through their store loyalty program, and over here through a public Instagram post... but this data is then combined somehow to gain a insight into them?
They never agreed to share that information because the information never existed in a form that could be shared, but it was inferred and synthesized.
That's an interesting issue.
