More & more devices (windmills, ships, airplanes, …) are connected to the Internet #internetofthings
But who can have access to the non-personal data they produce? Who is allowed to share it?
This is what the #DataAct is about.
Today we vote on our position in Parliament! /1

For @VoltEuropa and @GreensEFA I am happy that I managed to:
1️⃣ put the the OWNER of the connected device back into the center of the law, allowing them to decide who to engage in a contract with, and who to share data with from their connected device! /3

However, our great ideas for data markets are useless, if we don't have any data to share!
❌ trade secret protection
❌ security & safety
❌ non-compete provisions
❌ complex algorithms
These are all reasons we give data holders to suppress data, rather than to share it! /5

I know where this comes from: a strong manufacturer lobby which believe that they have a god-given right or ownership of the data that leaves “their” devices.
This could turn the Data Act into a Data Suppression Act!
Data leaving a device I own should also be mine to share. /6

Data is not gold, it’s not valuable in a vault. It’s valuable if it is used to create new solutions for customers!
With the data act we can create liquid data markets, and make Europe competitive.
Let’s not waste this chance due to a couple of large lobby groups. /f

2️⃣ create incentives for the owners & data holders to share non-personal data on data markets.
Once non-personal data is flowing to marketplaces, smart minds can create innovative solutions which in turn become the core of new business models, products and services. /4
