The ability to extract data from any situation is increasing. We have to ask ... is this data working for us or against us? Is this what we want from a digitally connected society?

Even without face recognition you can still be tracked through gait recognition. Data on the clothes you wear can also be used by stores to provide accurate product/sales recommendations #computervision

Are the #HongKongProtests a foreshadowing of the future for us all? A battle for #Freedom against a powerful adversary using state of the art surveillance technology? This should scare us all!

[MyData Scotland @MyDataScotland]

It seems everything we do these days is tracked and analysed. Our spending patterns can reveal a lot about us, is this the kind of world we want to live in? Where a few people have the power to decide what to do with our #PersonalData?
Join us tonight at the #ScotDataSummerMeetup
