[ NNSquad ] Re: Privacy of raw data
Lauren I think it is very important to be wary of potential abuses.

While there are folks posting incident reports on the NNS Forum already, and that is likely to be the primary reporting mechanism at first, in the long run when we're talking about large amounts of data -- and automated data -- my view is that the raw data itself cannot be made public without review and initial confidence characterization. This project may be viewed with considerable disdain in some quarters. It is not unlikely that efforts will be made to discredit the project by "seeding" it with falsified data with the intent that such data be made public. I dislike having to take this view right at the start, but I feel that it is both logical and prudent, given the various forces in play. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
