Yes, what is open data? So, simple question but answer is not. Open data is information publicly available around us. No secrets, but what if publicly available info can be digitized, and will be available online. Enormous changes, this data sets can be analyzed and used for good or for evil.
This means some kind of data publicly available at local private area is not safe or convenient to share world wide online. Yes, privacy. For instance personal location, every person today can be tracked by location of his/her mobile device or street camera, friends twits and so on. What if I'm employee of one company and unofficially visiting another company to get better job? I'm doing this publicly no spider man tricks :) but this visit I don't want to explain to my current employer. And many other every day situations. Open data very critical to get forward, but keep in mind privacy.
