I think most people,
and me as well,
want to stay anonymous.
But, in this day and age,
that's just not possible any more.
How do you feel about
sharing so much data?
Digital Identity Lab
That they know
these sorts of things about you,
that they know who you are,
Google can actually see who you are?
Yeah, that's a weird idea.
But this is life in 2018.
That's just the way it is.
Nothing to be done about it.
What I find a bit tricky is
my financial data, you know?
Yeah, and data about my children.
Out in public, I mean.
When we go on vacation.
When we're away from home.
I wouldn't like it if that was public.
And also data about my health.
I worry about how
future insurance companies might use it.
I'm aware of
how complex it is.
How the internet affects our lives
and gives them new forms is great.
But also...
we also sometimes lose track
of what happens next with
knowing to who, what, and where
the information goes.
Yes, now in principle
you'd want to share as little as possible.
You only want to share
what you're on the internet to share.
You're not on the internet
to share your data with unasked parties.
You're on the internet because
it's the easiest way and the best way
to find information.
And the best way to buy things.
So, in principle, you'd want to share
as little as possible
with as few parties as possible.
And give away as little data as possible.
I can see both sides of it.
On the one hand,
they're doing nothing wrong.
We all create data.
I mean, what do you want to know?
I'm a hard working person
But on the other hand,
the fact that you no longer know
what can be done with it all.
And also that you might know who
you originally shared the data with,
but you don't know
what they are going to do with it
and who they're going to give it to.
That bit I find a bit unsettling.
I'm not surprised by it, but...
I see both sides.
I don't have that big of a problem with it
but they could make mistakes.
Um...
Yeah, that all these organisations
make use of your data
and that they can connect it to you?
That's really dangerous.
Because if you come to The Netherlands
and end up in court
all your data can be linked together
and used against you.
And then
you still have a problem
if you have the 'wrong' skin colour
Even now.
You don't really think about it
and then you look around
and you think, "Oh yeah. Shit. This too?"
Yeah.
Well, especially in this case,
you really have no idea
how many organisations
actually have access to your data.
And that there are many more organisations
than you think
who know exactly where you are,
what you're doing,
and what you've done.
And I just think that's a crazy idea
that you have no control over it.
And I think with digital identity
you'll have even more of this.
It will get easier and faster.
There will be a faster
database about you
that more people will get to see.
See, I'm very comfortable
in discussing my data
or sharing my data with other companies
as soon as they don't harm me.
So it's fine for me
I can share my data.
If I'm honest, I think we're a little
too easy about all of this.
We don't even think about it
because we're speeding through life.
We just go.
But yeah...
I think there really is something
to think about here.
I have the time to make up for
what haven't done well.
But this makes it clear to me
that I need to really think about it.
