À propos de cet e-book
Considers the morality of using big data in the political sphere, covering cases from the Snowden leaks to the Brexit referendumInvestigates theories and recommendations for how to align the modern political process with the exponential rise in the availability of digital informationOpens new avenues for thinking about the philosophy and morality of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, in the context of political decision-makingSets out and objectively assesses the 'opacity' framework as an appropriate means of dealing with the challenges associated with big data and democracy What's wrong with targeted advertising in political campaigns? Should we be worried about echo chambers? How does data collection impact on trust in society? As decision-making becomes increasingly automated, how can decision-makers be held to account? This collection consider potential solutions to these challenges. It brings together original research on the philosophy of big data and democracy from leading international authors, with recent examples - including the 2016 Brexit Referendum, the Leveson Inquiry and the Edward Snowden leaks. And it asks whether an ethical compass is available or even feasible in an ever more digitised and monitored world.ContributorsRamón Alvarado, University of Oregon, USA.
