Tech’s ability to share has outstripped our social norms

Kerry Sparling wrote in Diatribe this week about her experience sharing her blood glucose readings in an article called “Can I Follow Your CGM? Having a Conversation About Sharing Your Data.

In the article she shares her experience, as a tech savvy and public person, being asked to allow someone access to her streaming BG readings from her continuous glucose monitor (CGM).

Clearly tech’s ability to share has outstripped our social norms about sharing personal information. Which makes me wonder, when and what would I fell comfortable sharing? Have you thought about what you would be willing to share?
