Governments, companies, researchers and citizen groups are in a ferment of experimentation, innovation and adaptation to the new world of data, a world in which data are bigger, faster and more detailed than ever before.

Role and Challenges of Crowdsourcing and Citizen Science in the Context of the Data Revolution - P2P Foundation

Role and Challenges of Crowdsourcing and Citizen Science in the Context of the Data Revolution - P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

"Despite of persistent efforts from the part of organizations aiming to solve or to alleviate the world’s most challenging issues, there are limitations of the current problem-solving system based on hierarchical bureaucratic models. These are mainly related to the powerlessness of the professional sector when, alone, facing global issues of ever increasing complexity and uncertainty. The current context often called “the network age” has in turn, supported and enhanced systems which serve as means for coping with these complex and uncertain scenarios, such as the concept of distributed cognition that leads (in its positive aspects) to collaborative, participatory and peer-to-peer common oriented processes, including the emergence of decentralized systems as well as the gradual empowerment of the civil society (overlapping with the latter); forming altogether, the background of latent paradigm shifts. Concurrently there is the political discourse (driven by the UN) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and of a Data Revolution, where the claim is that the latter is indispensable for achieving the former.

‘Where is My Data?’: A Race To the Top For The Protection of Internet Users in Colombia | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

EFF has joined forces with digital rights groups in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru to provide support to each country in releasing its own (or similar) “Where is My Data?” report—a report akin to EFF’s Who Has Your Back?, which has, since 2011, incentivized companies to adopt best practices, be transparent about how data flows to the government, and to take a stand for their users’ privacy.
