First of all, let me make one thing perfectly clear: I’m pro
data protection. Point blank. Data protection is an important aspect of
privacy, and I consider privacy to be one of the most important values of
contemporary societies. Hell, I have even pointed out the detrimental potential
of data collection, transfer, and processing in several articles on
discrimination and trusted traveler programs. But right now, data protection is
driving me nuts. How come? We might call this a chain of unfortunate circumstances,
but data protection has successfully blocked my research for a couple months
now.
