The EU is launching a market for personal data. Here’s what that means for privacy.
In a radical shift for the EU’s data governance strategy, the Trusts Project promotes data sharing as a civic duty. The new European data governance strategy (pdf) takes a fundamentally different approach. With it, the EU will become an active player in facilitating the use and monetization of its citizens’ personal data. Unveiled by the European Commission in February 2020, the strategy outlines policy measures and investments to be rolled out in the next five years. This new strategy represents a radical shift in the EU’s focus, from protecting individual privacy to promoting data sharing as a civic duty. Specifically, it will create a pan-European market for personal data through a mechanism called a data trust. A data trust is a steward that manages people’s data on their behalf and has fiduciary duties toward its clients. The EU’s new plan considers personal data to be a key asset for Europe. However, this approach raises some questions. First, the EU’s intent to profit from the personal data it collects puts European governments in a weak position to regulate the industry. Second, the improper use of data trusts can actually deprive citizens of their rights to their own data. The Trusts Project, the first initiative put forth by the new EU policies, will be implemented by 2022. With a €7 million budget, it will set up a pan-European pool of personal and nonpersonal information that should become a one-stop shop for businesses and governments looking to access citizens’ information. Global technology companies will not be allowed to store or move Europeans’ data. Instead, they will be required to access it via the trusts. Citizens will collect “data dividends,” which haven’t been clearly defined but could include monetary or nonmonetary payments from companies that use their personal data. With the EU’s roughly 500 million citizens poised to become data sources, the trusts will create the world’s largest data market. For citizens, this means the data created by them and about them will be held in public servers and managed by data trusts. The European Commission envisions the trusts as a way to help European businesses and governments reuse and extract value from the massive amounts of data produced across the region, and to help European citizens benefit from their information. The project documentation, however, does not specify how individuals will be compensated. Data trusts were first proposed by internet pioneer Sir Tim Berners Lee in 2018, and the concept has drawn considerable interest since then. Just like the trusts used to manage one’s property, data trusts may serve different purposes: they can be for-profit enterprises, or they can be set up for data storage and protection, or to work for a charitable cause. IBM and Mastercard have built a data trust to manage the financial information of their European clients in Ireland; the UK and Canada have employed data trusts to stimulate the growth of the AI industries there; and recently, India announced plans to establish its own public data trust to spur the growth of technology companies.

Non conosco nel dettaglio la "data governance strategy" del Consiglio EU, ma se il resoconto del MIT Tech Review non altera troppo il succo del discorso direi che la Commissione è sempre in cerca di modi creativi per sabotare il GDPR… e ci è SEMPRE riuscita benissimo :-O Tra l'altro con una nonchalance e uno sprezzo per il ridicolo che raggiungono livelli subliumi, da vent'anni a questa parte.

Questa mi giunge nuova e il MIT Technology Review certo non mi aiuta a comprendere questo MILLANTATO CREDITO nei confronti del Bernes Lee: non ho trovato traccia che lui sia "l'inventore" di questo divertente e poliedrico concetto. https://theodi.org/article/what-is-a-data-trust --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Data trusts are an approach to looking after and making decisions about data in a similar way that trusts have been used to look after and make decisions about other forms of asset in the past, such as land trusts that steward land on behalf of local communities. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- https://datatrusts.uk/about --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Inspired by the idea that individuals can share resources via a Trust to achieve mutual benefits, data trusts aim to empower data subjects to ‘take the reins’ of their data. Bound by a fiduciary obligation of undivided loyalty, a data trustee would exercise the rights conferred on individuals by laws like the General Data Protection Regulation on behalf of its beneficiaries. Trustees would be able to negotiate terms of data use, acting as independent stewards of the data rights vested in the trust by individuals or organisations. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- https://www.thersa.org/discover/publications-and-articles/rsa-blogs/2020/06/... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- A data trust is a structure whereby data is placed under the control of a board of trustees with a responsibility to look after the interests of the beneficiaries — you, me, society. Using them offers all of us the chance of a greater say in how our data is collected, accessed and used by others. This goes further than limiting data collecting and access to protect our privacy; it promotes the beneficial use of data, and ensures these benefits are widely felt across society In a sense, data trusts are to the data economy what trade unions are to the labour economy. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- C'è una sola e unica definizione per tutto ciò: ethic washing. Esiste pure https://thedatatrust.com/ --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Data Trust is the leading provider of voter and electoral data to Republican and conservative campaigns, parties, and advocacy organizations. Data Trust’s exclusive data inventory consists of a deep collection of data on over 300 million individuals, with up to 2,500 data points on each, including hundreds that are unique to Data Trust. We specialize in working with clients to help them identify the data they need from our inventory so they can be confident they have the right data to engage voters with their message. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Sì certo: anche Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple e Microsoft sono dei "Corporate Data Trust" a cui gli utenti danno il permesso di utlizzare a manetta i propri dati attraverso la sottoscrizione di EULA o accordi di servizio: una fiducia praticamente illimitata.

No, è solo un modo sofisticato per far credere che tutto ciò sia normale.
