Isn't an Authorization Manager a privacy-destroying panopticon?
(to be supplied)
UMA seems positioned to be a positive force in managing privacy, but how will it overcome the challenges with Big Data?
Where personal data has been flowing unfettered in the back channel, entirely unmanaged by the people to whom the data applies, we anticipate that UMA will initially have little effect. It would take some other large force, such as data protection regulation or social/economic pressure around privacy, for that flow to slow or cease and to be pumped through an alternative flow that adds the individual into the mix somehow, such as UMA. UMA is likely to have the biggest near-term effect when it comes to new "data products" that people were formerly unwilling to share because they couldn’t throttle the sharing effectively, or that were formerly unavailable in a machine-readable way but now are accessible through documented web APIs.
