Abstract
This essay examines the impact of the public-private distinction on digital data infrastructures, particularly in healthcare. It analyzes how the terms 'public' and 'private' are used informationally (what is shared vs. secret) and institutionally (state-owned vs. private ownership). The essay introduces the concept of 'data promiscuity,' where data's uses are indiscriminate, potentially jeopardizing individual privacy. Using Denmark as a case study, it unpacks how the public-private distinction shaped data infrastructures and proposes moving beyond solutions based solely on this distinction to ensure social sustainability.
