Depends. For healthcare/social improvements possibly but not for profit.
@9MXCF7S6mos6MO
Data should only be collected for research / information that will be valuable to citizens as a whole - but not so that they can be financially exploited.
@9VRG59G2mos2MO
No, but there should be a private right of action allowing a legal remedy against companies who gather personal data and use it in a way that violates a persons' right to privacy or other fundamental rights (like the right to control one's likeness).
@9SRXS6X3mos3MO
No, and companies should focus more on production and quality rather than selective audience targeting.
@9QKGT8Q5mos5MO
Yes. Data collection is overall a safe practice but there should be monitoring to make sure companies aren’t tracking a user’s personal spending, physical movements and sensitive identifying information without consent or restrictions.
@9Q684MX5mos5MO
They should impose stricter controls on highlighting what data people are divulging and how it will be used
@9PSMXHH5mos5MO
No, let the consumer read the terms of service and judge for themselves if they want to sign away their data.
@9Q3WL6R5mos5MO
Data collection and usage regulation is already very strong and generally fit for purpose...but needs to be better enforced
