The Social Contract and Big Data/Response to Unsworth
Journal of information ethics, Vol.25(1)
01 Apr 2016
Abstract
Big data is a catch term for the massive amount of data collected continually through individual interaction with ubiquitous technology and the multitude of processes and procedures running in the background to support and record today's society. Some have asked if the size of the data collected, and our continual ability to parse and mine large datasets for meaningful information, change the social contract. This question is addressed by presenting a review of social contract theory and by incorporating aspects of Anthony Giddens's structuration theory and John Rawls's concept of justice.
