The Seen and the Unseen - hosted by Amit Varma
A P Is for All
If i was running one of these companies, i would give as much anonymized data as i could. Because knows what some 18 year old kid, using the data in a creative way could find. So if you know senior people from any of those companies are listening to this, kindly give all your data to rokmin and me. A p is for all. Can this ever be a popular movement? Who knows. But maybe apeis for all could also be a rallying cry.
