“Ultimately, data must be used to improve society. It is about us. Here in the Netherlands, we want to feel that it will contribute to a better society. That there is a form of reciprocity: that we are in control and can make choices. With COVID-19, you can see that the government is taking the lead, but ethics and privacy are still major considerations in developing a Corona app. Society has to feel comfortable with it.”
Tada wants to critically question society. It is important that we continue to have that same attitude towards ourselves as well.

In the Amsterdam Area, a group of digital pioneers is working on the development of the Amsterdam Data Exchange (AMdEX). AMdEX focuses on the value of control, from the Tada manifesto. AMdEX is intended to provide control over shared data.
