Helen Nissenbaum on Data Privacy and Consent

This is a fantastic Q&A with Cornell Tech Professor Helen Nissenbaum on data privacy and why it’s wrong to focus on consent.

I’m not going to pull a quote, because you should read the whole thing.

Bruce, interesting to see you supporting Nissenbaum. I seem to remember you panning her trackmenot software when the prototype came out (something about it being ‘the worst security tool ever’)? Do you still believe that obfuscation is a misdirected strategy? And if so, how do you square this with her larger ideas on privacy (which you appear to support)?
