The three families of data dilemma
Answer
Bias, reliability and integrity; control, ownership and access; privacy, anonymity, surveillance and personally identifiable information.
Question
Why is removing names not enough?
Answer
A few details together — postcode, date of birth, sex — identify most individuals, and joining datasets makes the link easy.
Question
What makes something a dilemma?
Answer
The harm and the benefit come from the same cause, so removing one removes the other.
Question
A case for each family
Answer
Quality: COMPAS. Ownership: the right to be forgotten (CJEU 2014). Surveillance: San Francisco's facial recognition ban (2019).
