Will a primary personal data market eliminate the secondary personal data black market? An Ad economy of US$31b is able to spur growth on the Internet to the extent that it can finance fake news. Personal data is one of the world’s more precious commodities and it is now traded in illegal markets where companies buy them to string the data together, identify individuals and use the data to target them for advertising. The effectiveness such targeting is increasing because the supply of personal data is increasing through more Internet and Internet of Things services. Will creating a primary data market cannibalise the secondary market? I will present the HAT DeX initiative to allow companies to issue private data accounts to users that allow them to control and exchange their own data directly and also use them to integrate with existing internet services.
