    Healthcare would be a good one because having access to good reliable data means better treatments, especially for populations that are underrepresented in current studies

    Otherwise the other data could be used for policy development. Right now when a private entity collects a lot of data, they can release the data that helps them while hiding the data that harms them. Having that available publicly means that we can develop policy based on the most accurate picture of reality
