MIT Media Lab offers you a ›do it yourself‹ metadata test. Great for everybody interested in understanding what metadata may reveal about an person such as yourself: »What I believe is, if you’re going to make platforms that deal with personal data, you have to develop ways of doing this in such a way that you can be transparent with the user about the data you have, about how you’re handling it, and about how the user can withdraw the data from your system. And I think we don’t have that [in society], because what happens is, all of these things are buried in these user agreements that are longer than the Constitution... Hopefully, [with our deletion policy], we can lead by example, by showing that, when it’s possible to build these platforms, it may be something that people appreciate. It’s a very simple feature on the platform, but it makes a very strong moral point about the way we should deal with data.« [Disclaimer: due to huge intrest, the Imersion service is often overloaded.]
