Operational Mostly negligence risks, but also… Licensing for use in given areas Lots of activity around FAA & Drones
Operational: Drones FAA released their Notice of Proposed Rule-making. Key points for <55lbs: - Knowledge Test - TSA Vetting - Drone registration - Line of sight, daytime - Can’t fly “over” non-involved people - Permission in B-E airspace (!)
Provocation 1: IoT Bill of Rights Open is better than closed Consumers, not companies, own the collected data Devices that collect public data must share that data. Users have the right to keep their data private. Users can delete or back up data collected by IoT devices.
Provocation 2: FCC & Short runs “Private construction of up to five devices not intended for market sale.”
Provocation 4: Standards for truth-making Tensions between editorial clarity/narrative power and the sophistication of good data-heavy processes.
Provocation 5: Open Records & Infrastructure Unclear access to data produced within Public Private Partnerships.
Provocation 6: Journalists Ethics vs Com Sci Ethics “Develop professional knowledge, skills & competance…” Hdue regard for public health, privacy, security and wellbeing of others ”
