> Risam’s own concluding words hammer home how data confers more power on the already powerful, over and over again.
I think the insistence of the body politic on giving more power to the powerful is what drives this. Our ability to gather and organise data is just the limiting technical capability. Which is to say, the more data a central authority can process the more power it is capable of wielding.
Unclear why people are so sanguine about that whole issue given the 20th century, but here we are.
