Just came across following :
The Data Transfer Project wants
to make it easy to move data between services
Highlights :
# Just over a year
after its official launch, the Data Transfer Project is announcing a new set of partners and features.
Today, Apple announced that it will be joining the project, developing
interoperable systems to bring data in and out of iCloud.
A number of alternative social networks have also joined the project,
with Tim Berners-Lee’s Solid project enabling the
import and export of contacts, and Mastodon allowing for the import and export
of posts.
# An open-source project aimed at
making it easier to
transfer data from one service to another, the Data Transfer Project has
mostly consisted of back-end coding to make data export tools like Google
Takeout and Facebook’s Access Your Information tool compatible with each other.
====================================================
I am tempted to reproduce from my earlier blog,
Nightmare
? #Aadhar #Privacy #DataProtection [ 04 March
2016 ] :
Extract :
# Technology has advanced so far – and continues to accelerate even faster –
that it is possible to treat “ Content (
personal / private data ) “ like an air
molecule , which keeps travelling freely around the earth and
gets inhaled a
trillion times ( content consumption ) by a billion humans
.
Introduction of 5G
and Li-Fi technologies will
speed up this process even further
# With the arrival of Quantum Computing , it will soon
become possible for the
same content ( personal / private data ) ,
to exist simultaneously
at multiple
places , but in differing formats
A “ Text Posting “ on Facebook may well appear on different
media as
Voice or Image or Smell or Touch !
FOR
CONSIDERATION BY THE READERS :
Parallel to the Theory
of Thermodynamics , I would like to propound the
following as far
as the “ Theory of Information “ is concerned
:
“ Like Entropy ,
content keeps growing with each and every human
interaction , either with
other humans or with his environment , and content
can no
longer remain hidden , nor can it be destroyed “
=========================================================
What I envisaged above 3 years ago , seems to be around
the corner
What is heartening is that many respectable persons and
organizations have joined together to “ release the content “ from its various “ bondages “ of websites – apps – databases – hardware –
software applications – operating systems etc
It is high time Bureaucrats in charge of drafting our
own Data Protection Bill,
ask :
“ At the rate at
which data is getting generated / transmitted / transformed / mutated /
migrated / consumed , by 7 billion citizens of the World, all without their
knowledge or permission , is it at all possible to even “ define “ what is DATA ( and what is not ) , much
less possible to “ protect / confine “ it in
any manner ?
Is it possible that “ indestructability “ of Data renders futile all questions as to its “
Beginning / Origin “ or its “ End “ ?
Will any Data Protection Law become obsolete even before
the President signs it ?
Dear Shri Ravi
Shankar Prasadji,
Your mobile service provider ( MSP ) has the AUDIO-LOG
of each and every word that you have ever spoken in your mobile phone . And if
your MSP does not want to sell it, some one is bound to steal it !
