While data in the hands of governments and corporations may help solve on-ground problems, many questions on privacy, security, surveillance, and platform monopolization remain. Dr. Usha Ramanathan and Prerna Mukharya (Outline India) join Dr. Mahesh Menon (Daksha Fellowship) in a discussion to examine:
* Advantages of big data for governance and policy-making;
* Need for a data ecosystem to facilitate good governance;
* Surveillance and exclusion harms posed by over-reliance on such models;
* Integrating rights awareness and responsibility into big data models;
* Striking an optimal balance between regulation and innovation
