Despite proportionality being one of the tenets of data protection laws, we
currently lack a robust analytical framework to evaluate the reach of modern
data collections and the network effects at play. We here propose a
graph-theoretic model and notions of node- and edge-observability to quantify
the reach of networked data collections. We first prove closed-form expressions
for our metrics and quantify the impact of the graph's structure on
observability. Second, using our model, we quantify how (1) from 270,000 …
