Description
Big Data and Democracy explores the challenges posed by data collection in political campaigns and its impact on trust in society. This collection brings together original research from leading international authors, examining recent examples such as the 2016 Brexit Referendum, the Leveson Inquiry, and the Edward Snowden leaks. The book considers potential solutions to these challenges, asking whether an ethical compass is available or feasible in a digitised and monitored world. It delves into the philosophy of big data and democracy, shedding light on the implications of automated decision-making and the role of decision-makers in accountability. By examining the intersection of technology and politics, Big Data and Democracy provides a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at play, offering valuable insights for those interested in political science, ethics, and moral philosophy.
