#EHDS is still in formation. Will it be a collective resource for fairness & inclusion – or a tool of exclusion for the powerful? #Blog by @bprainsack.bsky.social & Aferdita Bytyqi respond to Jon Rueda’s Nature piece on #DataGovernance.

Or we can allow it to become a tool of concentration and exclusion, where those with the most technical or financial power gain the most.
