Democracy, Data

A very, very interesting take on democracy and data. It’s not that long of a read but well worth thinking over.

The idea of algorithmic policing isn’t new, but, technology today has made it actually possible.

Part of me immediately thinks this is bad… but, an equal force pulls me in the other direction — I think that surveillance technology isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but, it’s easier to think of the downsides than the potential upsides.

Time will tell.
