Panel description:
Data is more than just a spreadsheet with values. Its production, curation, and accessibility are rooted in power dynamics determined by those that control it. Because most data rests in the domain of government agencies and private corporations, its existence, or non-existence, benefits their interests most. This panel will explore some of the underlying problems with data, challenges with access, initiatives for protecting data from political interference, and resources that work to keep it free and openly available.
