Exit through the DAO

Fair Data Society is an initiative for decentralized self-sovereign data commons.

*

Fair Data is based on the simple premise that personal data is a part of the individual. As such, it should be treated as any other inalienable part of human identity.

As a society, we embraced high standards for treating people with dignity and respect. It is time to enforce these standards in the realms of our digital existence.

Fair Data Principles are an ethical standard for collecting, processing, and storing personal data. They are a social contract of our members and technologies we develop.

  • 01
    Ownership
    All the data related to an individual are part of their digital self.
  • 02
    Zero-data
    Privacy and non-collection of personal data should be default settings.
  • 03
    Control
    The rights to data created about or by an individual are only their.
  • 04
    Consent
    Individual’s data can only be accessed on the basis of consent.
  • 05
    Value
    Data is a product of an individual’s labour and has economic value.
  • 06
    Responsibility
    Personal data should be accessed on a need-to-know basis, annonymized before shared or monetised
  • 07
    Influence
    Organisations allow the freedom of digital associations within the organisation's ecosystem and recognise associations outside.
  • 08
    Accountability
    Organizations that access and process personal data provide clear, understandable, and explainable information.
  • 09
    Ethics
    Organisations design their IT systems based on ethical handling of all personal data; ethics cannot be an afterthought.
  • 10
    Interoperability

Serverless application platform

Is it Time for Serverless Application Platforms?

In his widely-read post on web3 , Moxie Marlinspike re-iterates over and over again that “If there’s one thing I hope we’ve learned about the world, it’s that people do not want to run their own servers.” The image he seems to have in mind is of a big old-style PC with a cd-drive sitting under the messy desk of a nerd, who spends his(!) time making sure it is running smoothly.
