===The Problem to Solve=== | ===The Problem to Solve=== | ||
Compliance and good data practices are hard for most businesses. There are few options that don’t have surveillance baked in, and few incentives to make a meaningful movement in favor of lean data. | |||

Both sides of this equation–businesses and citizens–would benefit from a technology platform that simplifies and creates tools around data collection, then basically templatizes the storage and processing of data, in a way that is easily accessed and monitored.<br /> | Both sides of this equation–businesses and citizens–would benefit from a technology platform that simplifies and creates tools around data collection, then basically templatizes the storage and processing of data, in a way that is easily accessed and monitored.<br /> | ||
===Overall Approach=== | |||
By providing '''clean and lean data tools, certifications, and legal incentives''' we can fuel a bigger movement in which businesses are lean data adherents from day one and in which people’s data isn’t preemptively hoarded. | |||
'''Help level the compliance playing field''' | |||
For smaller companies, increasing policy and compliance requirements affects them disproportionately. Just one third of global startups were deemed GDPR-compliant (versus 70% of enterprises). <br /> | |||
'''Provide new lean data tools that lower risk and boost brand''' | |||
For companies, they often use the least expensive or easiest data tools available to them. These are often surveillant ones. New, reputable tools and certification could bring market differentiation. <br /> | |||
'''Incentivize good data practice with new legal class of business''' | |||
Think: the data equivalent of the B-Corp.<br /> | |||
===Tactics to Explore=== | |||
Creating platforms and services that '''turn Mozilla’s internal data infrastructure into products/services, assess and certify business data practices''', and eventually '''establish a new class of business'''. | |||
===Assumptions to Test=== | |||
If we can productize our healthier data practices and infrastructure to galvanize a ‘better data’ movement, we can... | |||
'''Reduce Exposure…''' | |||
With lean data practices harvesting less data from people.<br /> | |||
'''Reduce Exclusion…''' | |||
By helping smaller players–as well as bigger ones introducing data practices to their business–have new options for better practices.<br /> | |||
'''Reduce Exploitation...''' | |||
No longer will companies have their hand forced in relying on the default surveillance tactics of big-player data tools that are available.<br /> | |||
===Diving In: Turn Internal Data Infrastructure into Products/Services=== | ===Phase 1: Diving In: Turn Internal Data Infrastructure into Products/Services=== | ||
'''Imagine Mozilla telemetry as a service, making it easier for businesses to do the right thing.''' We could change the game around transparency, access, and ownership by helping other companies copy our leading best practices—from how we capture, use, store, analyze, and monitor people’s data, to how we respond to CCPA and GDPR requests. | '''Imagine Mozilla telemetry as a service, making it easier for businesses to do the right thing.'''

'''Imagine a new class of business, elevated by clean and lean data practices.''' These practices could be incentivized by effective regulation, perhaps coupled with tax breaks, as well as consumer demand and CSR pledges.<br /> | '''Imagine a new class of business, elevated by clean and lean data practices.'''
