Where is Obama files? In fact this seems like a good idea for a huge website for all high level political figures.

At which point you could throw a redo of theirs (Black Mirror) on the wall when they contradict themselves.

Kinda of scary that people are collecting X founder's profile. Although these data are publicly available, this is still kind of scary.

So many orgs and individuals are doing similar data mining under the "collect now, analyze later" strategy. The fact that some of the data is made open-ish is not scary at all.

Why is it scary? The other side to our society rewarding you with billions of dollars is that you are now a public figure. Not only that but he's the CEO of a transnational corporation: their public pronouncements are always examined for any sort of securities edge.

And the CEO of Facebook of all people. If one non-public person in the entire world deserves scrutiny, it's Zuckerberg.

"The Zuckerberg Files is an open-access public archive" ... "Scholars wishing to gain access to the full archive should email access@zuckerbergfiles.org with their name, affiliation, and a brief description of the research project or purpose for which the materials will be put." Open-ish.

I'm not really sure I understand their argument for restricting access. I'm not into the academic environment (and this might be one of the reasons) but this at first looked something targeted at a wider audience than "scholars".

Also, their quote mentions copyrighted work. A) is this material copyrighted? B) would be legal to open access - with passwords - to a "organized database of copyrighted material"?

I had the same reaction: to me they were contradicting themselves in no more than two sentences. Then I read on and followed links: http://zuckerbergfiles.org/?page_id=41

So this is indeed a copyright issue. Like all copyright issues, bittorrent is the answer.
