[Bigdatasur] New Blog Series about Citizen Data Audits

[Katherine Reilly]

Hi all,


The first post in a new blog series about Citizen Data Audits has just been posted on Big Data Sur.


Corporate data audits are central to the personal data protection frameworks that have emerged in the past few years. But among citizen groups, and in the community, data audits are very little discussed.  In this series, I argue that we need to develop the field of citizen data audits, because they offer an important tool to decolonize big data.


Part 1 is called The Current Reality of Personal Data Audits, and you can find it here: https://data-activism.net/2020/04/bigdatasur-the-challenge-of-decolonizing-big-data-through-citizen-data-audits-1-3/.


Part 2, A First Attempt at Citizen Data Audits is coming soon.  It explores the lessons learned during a citizen data audit in Peru last year.


Part 3, Data Stewardship through Citizen Centred Data Audits is the final part in the series.  Stay tuned for further details on this one.


I'm always interested to answer questions or hear feedback.  You can reach me at kreilly at sfu.ca.


Best,


Katherine
