37 "Journalists have been asking me whether the revulsion against the abuse of "
38 "[Facebook](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/31/big-data-lie-"
39 "exposed-simply-blaming-facebook-wont-fix-reclaim-private-information) data "
40 "could be a turning point for the campaign to recover privacy. That could "
41 "happen, if the public makes its campaign broader and deeper."
46 "Broader, meaning extending to all surveillance systems, not just [Facebook]"
47 "(https://www.theguardian.com/technology/facebook). Deeper, meaning to "
48 "advance from regulating the use of data to regulating the accumulation of "
49 "data. Because surveillance is so pervasive, restoring privacy is necessarily "
50 "a big change, and requires powerful measures."
55 "The surveillance imposed on us today far exceeds that of the Soviet Union. "
56 "For freedom and democracy’s sake, we need to eliminate most of it. There are "
57 "so many ways to use data to hurt people that the only safe database is the "
58 "one that was never collected. Thus, instead of the EU’s approach of mainly "
59 "regulating how personal data may be used (in its [General Data Protection "
60 "Regulation](https://www.eugdpr.org/) or GDPR), I propose a law to stop "
61 "systems from collecting personal data."
66 "The robust way to do that, the way that can’t be set aside at the whim of a "
67 "government, is to require systems to be built so as not to collect data "
68 "about a person. The basic principle is that a system must be designed not to "
69 "collect certain data, if its basic function can be carried out without that "
75 "Data about who travels where is particularly sensitive, because it is an "
76 "ideal basis for repressing any chosen target. We can take the London trains "
77 "and buses as a case for study."
82 "The Transport for London digital payment card system centrally records the "
83 "trips any given Oyster or bank card has paid for. When a passenger feeds the "
84 "card digitally, the system associates the card with the passenger’s "
85 "identity. This adds up to complete surveillance."
90 "I expect the transport system can justify this practice under the GDPR’s "
91 "rules. My proposal, by contrast, would require the system to stop tracking "
92 "who goes where. The card’s basic function is to pay for transport. That can "
93 "be done without centralising that data, so the transport system would have "
94 "to stop doing so. When it accepts digital payments, it should do so through "
95 "an anonymous payment system."
100 "Frills on the system, such as the feature of letting a passenger review the "
101 "list of past journeys, are not part of the basic function, so they can’t "
102 "justify incorporating any additional surveillance."
107 "These additional services could be offered separately to users who request "
108 "them. Even better, users could use their own personal systems to privately "
109 "track their own journeys."
114 "Black cabs demonstrate that a system for hiring cars with drivers does not "
115 "need to identify passengers. Therefore such systems should not be allowed to "
116 "identify passengers; they should be required to accept privacy-respecting "
117 "cash from passengers without ever trying to identify them."
122 "However, convenient digital payment systems can also protect passengers’ "
123 "anonymity and privacy. We have already developed one: [GNU Taler](https://"
124 "taler.net/en/). It is designed to be anonymous for the payer, but payees are "
125 "always identified. We designed it that way so as not to facilitate tax "
126 "dodging. All digital payment systems should be required to defend anonymity "
127 "using this or a similar method."
132 "What about security? Such systems in areas where the public are admitted "
133 "must be designed so they cannot track people. Video cameras should make a "
134 "local recording that can be checked for the next few weeks if a crime "
135 "occurs, but should not allow remote viewing without physical collection of "
136 "the recording. Biometric systems should be designed so they only recognise "
137 "people on a court-ordered list of suspects, to respect the privacy of the "
138 "rest of us. An unjust state is more dangerous than terrorism, and too much "
139 "security encourages an unjust state."
144 "The EU’s GDPR regulations are well-meaning, but do not go very far. It will "
145 "not deliver much privacy, because its rules are too lax. They permit "
146 "collecting any data if it is somehow useful to the system, and it is easy to "
147 "come up with a way to make any particular data useful for something."
149 "Intensjonene til EUs GDPR-reguleringene er gode, men går ikke langt nok. De "
150 "vil ikke gi mye vern om privatsfæren, da dets regler er for slappe. De "
151 "tillatter innsamling av hvilke som helst data som kan være nyttig for "
152 "system , og det er enkelt å komme opp med måter å gjøre hvilke som helst "
153 "data nyttig for noe."
157 "The GDPR makes much of requiring users (in some cases) to give consent for "
158 "the collection of their data, but that doesn’t do much good. System "
159 "designers have become expert at manufacturing consent (to repurpose Noam "
160 "Chomsky’s phrase). Most users consent to a site’s terms without reading "
161 "them; a company that [required](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/"
162 "sep/29/londoners-wi-fi-security-herod-clause) users to trade their first-"
163 "born child got consent from plenty of users. Then again, when a system is "
164 "crucial for modern life, like buses and trains, users ignore the terms "
165 "because refusal of consent is too painful to consider."
170 "To restore privacy, we must stop surveillance before it even asks for "
173 "For å få tilbake vern om privatsfæren må vi stoppe overvåkningen før det i "
174 "det hele tatt blir spurt om aksept."
178 "Finally, don’t forget the software in your own computer. If it is the non-"
179 "free software of Apple, Google or Microsoft, it [spies on you regularly]"
180 "(https://gnu.org/malware/). That’s because it is controlled by a company "
181 "that won’t hesitate to spy on you. Companies tend to lose their scruples "
182 "when that is profitable. By contrast, free (libre) software is [controlled "
183 "by its users](https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important."
184 "html). That user community keeps the software honest."
189 "Richard Stallman is president of the Free [Software](https://www.theguardian."
190 "com/technology/software) Foundation, which launched the development of a "
191 "free/libre operating system GNU."
