“As with data security, there’s no ‘killer app’ to completely safeguard the privacy of citizen data . . .  We live in a post-privacy world. If you think there’s a way to protect all the data that you have, to keep it secure and inaccessible by others, you’re kidding yourself.” (Mark S. Fox)

“We need to be thinking really intentionally about how to activate technologies in a way that can contribute to inclusivity,” says Shauna Brail . . . “driven by thinking about how to serve people best.”
