And in this single statement 👇 @MattHancock demonstrates not only his profound ignorance, but his underlying thinking - that information about you is a #TradableAsset.

Who "owns" the fact of your relationship with your sister? You? Her? Or your date of birth? Your current age?
Let's not even get started on things like #genomic data (i.e. data derived from your #DNA) which says things not only about you, but your relatives. Who "owns" that?

The reason the #powerful want people to think they "own" their #PersonalData - rather than it being protected...
...by a strong, well-enforced #rights framework - is that they can #force or #fool you into surrendering it, so the data you give them becomes THEIR "#property" to #exploit.

If '#DataIsTheNewOil', as they want you to believe, then what does that make YOU?

At least they're looking at the right things - albeit some of them the wrong way round; e.g. for #trust the key issue is #evidenced #revocation, not #informed #consent (which those who just want the data mostly ignore)...
...and it's a shame they went for the tired "#SmartData" trope, when their own analysis shows it's far more about #SmartRegulation (& #metadata).

Some #InformationalPrivity thinking might help:

Technical platforms & frameworks can deliver things like...
...#authentication, and the immutable, transparent #AuditTrails required for #revocation (i.e. the meaningful bit of "#ConsentManagement") and #redress - for in a regulator-dependent world, as we've discovered, it's the regulator itself that's the #liability.

Quick answer: #rights. Did the work on this well over a decade ago, before #GDPR was even a twinkle in Jan's eye.

Longer answer: '#ownership' (just like rights) doesn't get you shit if it ain't #enforceable / #enforced *in practice*. Hence all the current effort going into...
...#redress - e.g. Lloyd vs @Google, and the tsunami behind that.

But a new FIELD of law (e.g. #InformationalPrivity*) may be required, 'cos it turns out treating #people and their #relationships as #property is as bad as treating 'em as #subjects...

...not #sovereigns of their data.

(Not forgetting that - on the evidence of human behaviour, power imbalances, etc. - many, if not most, wouldn't relish or even know what to do with such sovereign #responsibility, much less be able to wield it outside a #rights framework.)
