With fears around facebook’s data scandal and fake news, many transparency campaigners are facing a tough backlash from politicians and the general public. This is especially concerning because they believe transparency and privacy are mutually exclusive. This misperception presents the transparency and open data space with an alarming challenge. We want to host a community brainstorm on the most powerful arguments to counter this belief and crowdsource the most impactful case studies from the IACC community.
