What to do about different kinds of user data interchange:
| Data collected without permission | Data collected with permission | |
|---|---|---|
| Good data | Build tools and norms to reduce the amount of reliable data that is available without permission. | Develop and test new tools and norms that enable people to share data that they choose to share. |
| Bad data | Report on and show errors in low-quality data that was collected without permission. | Offer users incentives and tools that help them choose to share accurate data and correct errors in voluntarily shared data. |
Most people who want data about other people still prefer data that's collected without permission, and collaboration is something that they'll settle for. So most voluntary user data sharing efforts will need a defense side as well. Freedom-loving technologists have to help people reduce the amount of data that they allow to be taken from them without permission in order for data listen to people about sharing data.
