Depends. For healthcare/social improvements possibly but not for profit.
@9MXCF7S1yr1Y
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.
@B5988HJ3wks3W
Yes, through comprehensive and enforceable regulations that prioritize transparency, consent, data minimization, purpose limitation, and robust security measures, with particular attention to protecting vulnerable populations from exploitation and discrimination.
@B2QWQBN4mos4MO
Yes, this is absolute necessary to protect citizens particularly from foreign companies from collecting data this is necessary for national security particularly from TikTok
@9VRG59G8mos8MO
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).
@9SRXS6X9mos9MO
No, and companies should focus more on production and quality rather than selective audience targeting.
@9QKGT8Q11mos11MO
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.
@9Q684MX11mos11MO
They should impose stricter controls on highlighting what data people are divulging and how it will be used
