Deletion
We are interested in better understanding data rights around the world, how they change and interact with other ideas, and when the conflict. So far we have investigated privacy rights across three fronts: the right to be forgotten, voter privacy, and in relation to innovation. Dr Jones has done extensive work on the right to be forgotten and continues to investigate consent and deletion rights. We are now working on a new project that digs into the way in which data protection and privacy laws have impacted computer innovation and policy. For one project, Sienna Tompkins is organizing the development, deployment, and integration of contact tracing apps across five countries during the covid 19 pandemic. Another investigates early government reports on computers and society to understand how regulation related to computer scientists, industries, and users.
