Advisory panel for Toronto's "smart" city

mercredi 10 octobre 2018 à 02:00

Saadia Muzaffar has resigned from the advisory panel for Toronto's "smart" city, because the project is not seriously attending to citizens' privacy concerns.

As usual, "smart" means "spy".

Most campaigns to protect privacy aim for an inadequate target: regulating the use of data collected. That is not enough to protect people from being harmed by the data collected about them.

I don't see anything in this article to suggest that Muzaffar, and the citizens that complained, are trying to go further than that.
