my main goal is to start a discussion on what this would mean, how it could be done. And the creation of tools around the idea, allowing people who are computer illiterate to browse the data-sets, and derive information from them.
This is how I feel I should protect my second amendment, the right to bear arms, and in a modern age a firearm is almost anachronistic for the battles ahead. We need the tools that collect information, because those are the tools "they" use against us.
There's already a place to spread embarrassing data, it's called wikileaks.
I don't know what you think is data that a computer illiterate person can browse.
It's not about embarrassing information, it's about raw factual information, collected by concerned citizens
It's usually emails, reports, etc.
Well, any tools we currently are computer science tools, by engineers and graduate students. or software developers...
Still can't figure what you're talking about.
Emails and reports are factual corpus of information
What kind of data?
anything really, it's part of the semantic web,
Jesus, you sound like one of my professors masturbating his intellect while saying absolutely nothing.
no u
I always viewed "Semantic Web" as a scam to create useless conferences to justify research grants.

Okay, so an example. I was curious about what Facebook logs on most users, so I setup a proxy on my computer to collect all traffic between my computer and Facebook. after running that for over 3 month it was a huge number of JSON blobs. I had no idea what to do with that data, but I started to graph out every individual that I connected with over that period of time, it was about 60,000 individuals. After plotting the data over frequency of hit I was able to see that there are people outside of my friend group, outside of my knowledge of existence that I connected with many times. This suggests that I visit sites they comment on, or sites they visited or various other interactions.
To me, that tells me who Facebook thinks I am. while my friends were very high on that list, so high I removed them entirely, the fringe connections spoke volumes of the personality traits I may posses.
Or more to the point, the decisions people would make about that data.
I would propose the idea of people who are doing research, like ... as an example. Where is the public data on the ADL and their donors and their leadership and the business connections they all have. Every person I've watched talk about the ADL constantly starts at the top, only looking at data that is exposed superficially. There's more interesting data in layers below. Connections to people, companies and how they function and work.
Mate a reckon facbook has over stepped
but I cannot say
what I know
Indeed, they seem to have overstepped - and what could be done about it "we all just leave" ... I mean, sure that works. But it doesn't hurt their business model.

If they sell data, the data is valuable. Data without us is less valuable, but data with horrible noise has even lesser value.
If people wanted to actually protest Facebook , they could. But without information it would be of little value.
I just post shit on facebook
total Garbage
haha, in order to affect your identity on their graph you'd ostensible have to associate more with people you'd never associate with. So... on my list there's an assload of people I supposedly only saw once. If I could increase my contact with them online, in passing my data is pointlessly invalid.
awlful unthruthful rubbish
total garbage
@DanielKO
Yeah, a few politicians want to revert the situation to where it was before 2003
How was it before 2003?
my facebook account is the most untruthful thing on the internet
