This very good piece on consent in #datagovernance from a feminist perspective provides food for thought re. consent in research settings. Personally, I can't wait to see the end of the frequently meaningless and tokenistic "informed consent" box ticking! #datafeminism
In new research, drawing on long-standing feminist critiques of consent & contract, @triptijain & I show that rather than enable autonomy, consent in #datagovernance is used to legitimise new relations of subordination, exploitation internetdemocracy.in/reports…

The research maps and highlights how the @sahamati’s AA framework aims to address and is addressing the critiques of consent in #dataprotection . While doing so the paper also illustrates how can the consent framework be further strengthened. datagovernance.org/report/te…

Account Aggregator ecosystem is still evolving, to understand it better and contribute to the consent aspect (major building block)of it. I undertook a research last year, the research highlights the progress of the current #consent architecture and addresses the shortcomings.
New research! @tripti2994 asks to what extent account aggregators (AAs) address key criticisms of consent regimes today, thus facilitating and strengthening user consent and autonomy. #bodiesanddata #datagovernance internetdemocracy.in/reports…

Using feminist lens to study India's Account Aggregators, @iNetDemocracy finds that while they improve consent from status quo, they cannot succeed without changes in the broader ecosystem. We need more such sociological critiques of tech solutions. Link: bit.ly/3reLNC3

A research study by @iNetDemocracy examines how well the developing Account Aggregator ecosystem in India is delivering in practice. Assessing it against each of the feminist principles of consent and its alignment with the feminist principles, are AAs effective? (1/2)
