The reality distortion effect, 3 months on...

One of the things I've never talked about in this blog, mainly because I talked about it enough elsewhere, is the iPhone Tracking scandal and the bizarre reality distortion effect that went on during those couple of weeks back in April.

Mac Slocum finally managed to corner me at OSCON last week and got me to talk about things now everything has settled down.


Interview with Mac Slocum at OSCON

One of the things I mentioned during the interview as one of the really positive things to come out of the iPhone Tracking debacle is the visualisations from the crowdflow.net group. If you haven't already seen them, I'd encourage you to take a look at what they've managed to pull out of the data.

  7. Well in my opinion. The iPhone Tracking scandal definitely stirred up a lot of discussions, and it’s fascinating to hear your take on it, especially now that some time has passed. I completely agree the crowdflow.net visualizations were a major highlight and really showcased the potential of data analysis. It’s interesting how even university assignment writers could take inspiration from this kind of data-driven approach. Thanks for sharing this perspective; it adds another layer of understanding to a very complex issue!

  8. Interesting read! The iPhone Tracking scandal certainly stirred up a lot of debate and brought attention to data privacy issues. It’s great to hear that there were some positive outcomes, like the visualizations from crowdflow.net, which really help put things into perspective. Just like how these visualizations can make complex data easier to understand, having a tutor for TEAS exam can be a game-changer in breaking down challenging topics. Thanks for sharing your insights and the interview link!
