@CourtBli this is interesting - what would informed consent laws for technology look like? #jacksonbigdata

[Elen A. @BigDataElen]

It's a false tradeoff of opting in to all the risks of big data tech or opting out totally and living off the grid. There is a middle ground of many possibilities—including a world of data governance standards that put control in users' hands. #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

bringing this back as a recommendation: https://t.co/mn1GIpfGZn #jacksonbigata

[RW @sartorialdata]

@BrocatoBigData but how can we even define success if the data on crime is already highly biased against people of colour? how do we train an algorithm to filter out which data was heavily biased so as to remain with crimes that were actual crimes

[RW @sartorialdata]

any predictive policing that will be employed with the policing systems we have today will be grossly unfair since there is no police data that is not already biased #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

i agree with Sarah that any algorithms used by police would work better if community policing is employed. maybe any policing algorithms should be only created once police reform has been implemented justly?

[RW @sartorialdata]

@CourtBli yes, this is exactly it. if public institutions are using proprietary software, then shouldn't those software be able to be subject to FOIA? With this, algorithms can be better optimized for public use #jacksonbigdata

[Elen A. @BigDataElen]

GDPR is also much more about data protection and not privacy, which are just different enough to legally matter. This is one of the best explainers on the regulation and conceptual distinction that I've read: https://t.co/HWRvbh1KGw #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

the evolution from automated bots to dedicated accounts that embed themselves in different communities is fascinating - i wonder how this is influenced by increased de-personalization and commercialization of social media platforms?#jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

totally agree with you @BigDataElen! #jacksonbigdata

[Elen A. @BigDataElen]

Great question raised by @claudiameng_ai about targeted advertising and labor trafficking. I wonder if there are data pathways here that can help investigators. #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

Just as much as sex traffickers keep finding new avenues, the authorities should work to keep closing those avenues. We don't have to let the victims suffer so that we can prosecute offenders #jacksonbigdata

[Elen A. @BigDataElen]

For Big Data folks who are interested in regulation of speech online: The Backpage case and SESTA-FOSTA were super important to the evolution of our interpretations of Section 230. #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

@sarahatyale Maybe a Peace Corps for Science rather than national service? #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

@LangeLibby Yes. People still have pieces of it in jars. Here is a short primer: https://t.co/MSTydSIsmz #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

also this entire conversation just reminded me that people chopped up Einstein's brain and there are pieces of it going around #jacksonbigdata

[RW @sartorialdata]

@BigDataElen and they should be - if they are using government funding to conduct all these projects. Only thing is that I hope the government does direct the research towards ethical use that actually benefits the people -rather than just contributing to weapons proliferation
