I see a lot of people here dunking on a software dev who thinks that law is code. As a person who ought to know (grad degree in computational law), let me point out two things that can be true at the same time: 1. Laws are not code. 2. Interpretations of law can be encoded. 1/

Data is never ‘collected’, it is only *generated*. This isn’t merely a pedantic semantic gripe; by misrepresenting ‘data’ as something that exists in nature & has only to be scooped up, evasion of accountability for data harms has already begun Data doesn’t exist until someone constructs it
