Researcher reveals evidence of private Instagram profiles leaking photos
A researcher has released detailed evidence showing some Instagram private accounts exposed photo links to unauthenticated visitors. The issue was later fixed, but Meta closed the report as not applicable and did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
I Asked 100 Companies for My Data. I Got Deletion Notices Instead
California residents have a legal right to access the data that companies collect about them. Actually exercising that right is a burdensome nightmare.
Privacy and human behavior in the age of information
This Review summarizes and draws connections between diverse streams of empirical research on privacy behavior. We use three themes to connect insights from social and behavioral sciences: people's uncertainty about the consequences of privacy-related behaviors and their own preferences over those consequences; the context-dependence of people's concern, or lack thereof, about privacy; and the degree to which privacy concerns are malleable—manipulable by commercial and governmental interests. Organizing our discussion by these themes, we offer observations concerning the role of public policy in the protection of privacy in the information age.
Nonrivalry and the Economics of Data
(September 2020) - Data is nonrival: a person's location history, medical records, and driving data can be used by many firms simultaneously. Nonrivalry leads to increasing returns. As a result, there may be social gains to data being used broadly across firms, even in the presence of privacy considerations. Fearing creative destruction, firms may choose to hoard their data, leading to the inefficient use of nonrival data. Giving data property rights to consumers can generate allocations that are close to optimal. Consumers balance their concerns for privacy against the economic gains that come from selling data broadly.
Who owns your data?
A Supreme Court case about a bank robbery could redefine your digital rights.
There is one area with Permissioned Data Spaces that I haven't seen discussed. It reveals that data is currently stored in the (I think I'm coining a term here) *Public Space* on Personal Data Servers. Remember, most people on Bluesky aren't aware of where their data is stored, or what that means.
Emerging from being "down in the technical weeds" of #atproto is a little mashup of @semble.so & WayFinder (wayfinders.network) Semble team released "open collections" this week - here we explore the "private & permissioned data" collection, created by @bmann.ca & now with 3 other contributors
@masnick.com I’m listening to your interview with @reckless.bsky.social. This third party doctrine is interesting. Do you think that atproto data would be considered properly owned by the account individual? Would be interesting implications if that public data fall under search and seizure rights.
Absent private data, has anyone experimented with encrypted event streams and some sort of auth gated private key exchange at the AppView level? I’m not really trying to solve for security so much as I am trying to solve for the ability to create a contract between a data source and an AppView

Permissioned Spaces Made Pretty — Lexidraw
atproto spaces repo export: feels a bit odd to do a giant index block. seems like this will put a low (and hard) cap on the number of record…
