Show HN: Data Ownership T&C Quiz to Create Awareness on Restrictive Data Rights
I just created a quiz that reveals how corporate legal language can trap communities into losing control of their environmental data.<p>It is based on real terms and conditions typical for air quality monitoring manufacturers.<p>Try it and see if you can spot the red flags:
<a href="https://www.airgradient.com/aq-data-ownership-quiz/" rel="nofollow">https://www.airgradient.com/aq-data-ownership-quiz/</a><p>The aim of the game is to create awareness among data ownership rights, e.g.:<p>- How "joint ownership" isn't really sharing
- Why "free" services often delete your data without warning
- How subscription models hold your community's air quality data hostage
- The difference between data access and data ownership<p>The game was inspired by the incredible work of the EPIC Air Quality Fund, which is fighting to expand access to air quality data. Their research revealed that nearly 40% of countries lack open air quality data—often because restrictive corporate terms prevent communities from truly owning their environmental information.<p>At AirGradient, we believe open source hardware is the ultimate solution. When communities control both the hardware AND the data, they achieve true environmental justice.
