'Protecting our Justice Data' with SEMA and Digital Human Rights Lab

In the Big Data era, the information we collect in the justice sector is at an extra high risk of being misappropriated, misused or jeopardized. In this collaborative session with data enthusiasts, we empathized with affected actors on how we should protect our justice data. Throughout the discussions, participants shared personal experiences with data breeches, hacks and misrepresentations of data. Participants and panelists together identified the various actors who spy on justice data and where their interests may lie. Experts highlighted ways in which transparency and open source data are important efforts and also shared tools. Watch the recording above to learn more about the tangible outcomes that were presented by panelists and interesting insights that arose from the discussion that followed.
