Access Denied: Barriers to Data Access and Threats to Tech Researchers
How can researchers expand access to platform data under existing and emerging regulatory regimes?
Independent researchers play a critical role in helping the public understand how digital platforms shape politics, public discourse, and democratic life. Yet access to platform data has become increasingly restricted, while legal, technical, and political pressures on researchers continue to grow.
This webinar, which is part of the Digital Governance for Democratic Renewal webinar series hosted by Tech Policy Press, Columbia World Projects, and the Centre for Digital Governance at the Hertie School, brings together leading experts to examine the state of platform-to-researcher data access and accountability.
Speakers
- Mark Scott (Atlantic Council)
- Courtney Radsch (Open Markets Institute)
- Brandi Geurkink (Coalition for Independent Technology Research)
