Elizabeth Laird

Elizabeth Laird appears in Trust in government data practices is rapidly deteriorating as the [[CenterForDemocracyAndTechnology|Center for Democracy and Technology]] speaker explaining nationally representative polling on federal government data practices. Her main contribution is to connect broad privacy concern to concrete behavior: people may avoid public benefits if they do not trust how their data will be used.

For the wiki, Laird turns data privacy from a private-sector or data-broker problem into a public-services trust problem. She links Federal Data Practice Trust to Public Benefits Data Chilling Effect, Enforcement Agency Data Sharing, and Government Data Accountability rather than treating concern as only generalized anxiety about data collection.
