Big data: Finders keepers, losers weepers? external link

Sax, M.
Ethics and Information Technology, vol. 18, num: 1, pp: 25-31, 2016

Abstract

This article argues that big data’s entrepreneurial potential is based not only on new technological developments that allow for the extraction of non-trivial, new insights out of existing data, but also on an ethical judgment that often remains implicit: namely the ethical judgment that those companies that generate these new insights can legitimately appropriate (the fruits of) these insights. As a result, the business model of big data companies is essentially founded on a libertarian-inspired ‘finders, keepers’ ethic. The article argues, next, that this presupposed ‘finder, keepers’ ethic is far from unproblematic and relies itself on multiple unconvincing assumptions. This leads to the conclusion that the conduct of companies working with big data might lack ethical justification.

International and comparative legal study on Big Data external link

van der Sloot, B. & Schendel, S. van
2016

Abstract

Working Paper 20 was written as part of the project ‘Big Data, Privacy and Security’, undertaken by the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (wrr) to investigate the consequences of the use of Big Data in the domain of security. This background study, entitled International and Comparative Legal Study on Big Data, was written by Bart van der Sloot and Sacha van Schendel. Many countries experiment with Big Data processes, which are almost by definition transnational. The first part of the study is a quick scan of the Big Data policies, legislation and regulations in Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, South-Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. The second part presents the findings of a survey among Data Protection Authorities (dpas) in Europe. Both parts of the study focus on the relations between Big Data, security and privacy.

The Practical and Theoretical Problems with ‘Balancing’: Delfi, Coty and the Redundancy of the Human Rights Framework external link

van der Sloot, B.
Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law, num: 3, pp: 439-459., 2016

Abstract

In the realm of privacy and data protection – as in the fundamental rights framework in general – balancing has become the standard approach for dealing with legal disputes. It comes, however, with a number of practical and theoretical problems. Th is article analyses those problems and compares the method of balancing with the original approach of most human rights frameworks, such as the European Convention on Human Rights. It does so by analysing two cases in detail: the European Court of Human Right’s case Delfi v. Estonia and the Court of Justice of the EU’s judgment Coty v. Stadtsparkasse. From this analysis, it follows that the concept of balancing signals a shift away from the deontological and towards a utilitarian understanding of fundamental rights. Th is is not only of theoretical importance, as it could also mean that in time, human rights frameworks as such might become redundant.
