The people working on a\u00a0Social Network Users’ Bill of Rights <\/a>have done another interesting eThing:\u00a0 rather than requiring people to express support or rejection\u00a0holus-bolus they've\u00a0decided to let us\u00a0vote on the individual rights proposed.\u00a0 Further, Jon Pincus<\/a> has shared the\u00a0early results <\/a>on his Liminal States <\/a>blog.\u00a0 He writes:<\/p>\n

The SXSW panel<\/span><\/a> got a decent amount of attention, including article by Helen A. S. Popkin\u2019s Vote on your \u2018Social Network Users\u2019 Bill of Rights\u2019<\/span><\/a> on MSNBC\u2019s Technolog<\/em>, Kim Cameron\u2019s post on the Identity Weblog<\/em><\/span><\/a>, and a brief link from Mark Sullivan of PC World<\/em><\/span><\/a>. Here\u2019s the voting so far<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 41 yes 0 no<\/em> Honesty: Honor your privacy policy and terms of service<\/li>\n
  2. 41 yes 0 no<\/em> Clarity: Make sure that policies, terms of service, and settings are easy to find and understand<\/li>\n
  3. 41 yes 0 no<\/em> Freedom of speech: Do not delete or modify my data without a clear policy and justification<\/li>\n
  4. 33 yes 4 no<\/em> Empowerment : Support assistive technologies and universal accessibility<\/li>\n
  5. 35 yes 2 no<\/em> Self-protection: Support privacy-enhancing technologies<\/li>\n
  6. 37 yes 3 no<\/em> Data minimization: Minimize the information I am required to provide and share with others<\/li>\n
  7. 39 yes 1 no<\/em> Control: Let me control my data, and don\u2019t facilitate sharing it unless I agree first<\/li>\n
  8. 39 yes 1 no<\/em> Predictability: Obtain my prior consent before significantly changing who can see my data.<\/li>\n
  9. 38 yes 0 no<\/em> Data portability: Make it easy for me to obtain a copy of my data<\/li>\n
  10. 39 yes 0 no<\/em> Protection: Treat my data as securely as your own confidential data unless I choose to share it, and notify me if it is compromised<\/li>\n
  11. 36 yes 2 no<\/em> Right to know: Show me how you are using my data and allow me to see who and what has access to it.<\/li>\n
  12. 24 yes 13 no<\/em> Right to self-define: Let me create more than one identity and use pseudonyms. Do not link them without my permission.<\/li>\n
  13. 35 yes 1 no<\/em> Right to appeal: Allow me to appeal punitive actions<\/li>\n
  14. 37 yes 1 no<\/em> Right to withdraw: Allow me to delete my account, and remove my data<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So it\u2019s in general overwhelmingly positive: five rights are unanimous, and another eight at 89% or higher.\u00a0 The one exception: the right to self-define, currently at about 65%.\u00a0 As I said in a comment<\/span><\/a> on the earlier thread, this right is vital for people like whistleblowers, domestic violence victims, political dissidents, closeted LGBTQs.\u00a0\u00a0 I wonder whether the large minority of people who don\u2019t think it matters are thinking about it from those perspectives.<\/p>\n

    The voting continues at http:\/\/SNUBillOfRights.com<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Please voice your opinion!<\/p>\n

    The voting on individual rights is still light.\u00a0 Right 12 clearly stands out as one which needs discussion.<\/p>\n

    I expect most people just take a quick look at the bill as a whole, say “Yeah, that makes sense” and move on.\u00a0\u00a0The “pro” and “against” pages at facebook ran about 500 to 1 in favor\u00a0of the Bill when I looked a few days ago.\u00a0 In this sense the Bill is certainly right on track.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    But the individual rights need to be examined\u00a0very carefully by at least some of us.\u00a0 I'll return to Jon's comments on right 12 when I can make some time to set out my ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
