Digital Data Increasingly Plays a Central Role in Contemporary Politics and Public in September 2016 (DATACTIVE)
Krisis 2018, Issue 1 1 Data Activism www.krisis.eu Reversing Data Politics: An Introduction to the Special Issue advertising to the monitoring of citizens. Many aspects of the state and the market Lonneke van der Velden and Stefania Milan today have to do with the ‘data economy’ and its rules (or lack thereof). In this special issue, we are also interested in ‘data politics’, but we want to shift the focus of the conversation. Big data corporations and intelligence agencies are not the only ones acting on datafication, or the process of turning into monetizable and analyzable data many aspects of life that had never been quantified before, such as people’s emotions and interpersonal connections. Non-governmental organiza- tions, hackers, and activists of all kinds provide a myriad of ‘alternative’ interven- tions, interpretations, and imaginaries of what data stands for and what can be done with it. The idea of the special issue emerged during a two-day workshop on ‘Contentious Data’ hosted by the research group DATACTIVE at the University of Amsterdam Digital data increasingly plays a central role in contemporary politics and public in September 2016 (DATACTIVE). As the organisers argued elsewhere, these life. Citizen voices in the so-called public sphere are increasingly mediated by pro- emerging forms of ‘data activism’, that is to say socio-technical mobilizations and prietary social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, and are thus shaped tactics taking a critical approach towards datafication and massive data collection, by algorithmic ranking and re-ordering. ‘Calculated publics’ fashioned by ‘new offer new epistemologies able to counteract the mainstream positivistic discourse kinds of human and machine interaction’ (Amoore and Piotukh 2016, 2) replace of datafication (Milan and van der Velden 2016). -
Implementing a Stream Processing Engine
Final Year Project School of Computer Science BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Industrial Experience Implementing a Stream Processing Engine Adam Dyk Supervised by Sandra Sampaio May 2016 Abstract This study presents the work undertaken to study the relationship between social network posts and election outcomes. Through the implementation of a generalpurpose stream processing engine, a constant stream of data is used to compute statistics pertaining to presidential candidates. An initial background stage determined appropriate sources of data, examined previous solutions and raised awareness about possible challenges. The system was subsequently designed through consultation with stakeholders, with implementation following shortly after. The output of the solution was compared to election results and an identification of possible trends and patterns was undertaken. After comparison of system output and current US presidential election results, it is deemed likely that a relationship exists between social media postings and election outcomes. However, the extent to which social media can be used for the purpose of election polling is yet to be determined.

Likewise, I would like to extend the thanks to Mr. Jock McNaught for his feedback during presentations and project deliverables that helped me to better and improve the final system. Page 2 of -

When Data Crimes Are Real Crimes: Voter Surveillance and the Cambridge Analytica Conflict by Jesse Gordon BA Honours, Universit
When Data Crimes are Real Crimes: Voter Surveillance and the Cambridge Analytica Conflict by Jesse Gordon BA Honours, University of Saskatchewan, 2016 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTERS OF ARTS in the Department of Political Science © Jesse Gordon, 2019 University of Victoria All rights reserved.

Was this a privacy conflict and if so, how was it framed as such? This work demonstrates that the public outcry to CA formed out of three underlying structural conditions: The rise of the alt-right as an ideology, surveillance capitalism, and a growing and unregulated voter analytics industry. A network of actors seized the momentum of this conflict to drive the message that voter surveillance is a threat to democratic elections. These actors humanized the CA conflict and created a catalyst for a large scale public outrage to these previously ignored structures. Their focus on democratic threat also allowed this conflict to transcend the typical contours of a privacy conflict and demonstrate that the consequences of CA are societal, rather than personal. -
Orca - the Outage That May Change History November 2012
the Availability Digest www.availabilitydigest.com Orca - The Outage That May Change History November 2012 The Romney campaign looked forward with confidence to the November 6, 2012, U.S. presidential election. Not only were many polls improving in its favor, but it had a secret weapon that it did not disclose until just before Election Day. Orca! Orca was a massive, technologically sophisticated tool that was aimed at GOTV – Get Out The Vote – in the critical swing states that would decide the election outcome. In elections that are as close as this one was predicted to be, outperforming polls by a single point can mean that entire states and all their Electoral votes can be won. But Orca failed. It never got off the ground on Election Day. Was this outage the cause of Governor Romney’s loss to President Obama? We will never know the answer to this question, but it was quite likely a factor. Orca Orca was a Web-based application that allowed 37,000 Romney campaign workers spread among the precincts of several key swing states to monitor and report who was voting. This data was sent in real time to a campaign War Room at Republican headquarters in the Boston Garden (now the TD Garden), where it was compared to known Romney supporters in those precincts. The data was used by campaign headquarters to deploy calls and volunteers to known Romney supporters who hadn’t yet voted without wasting resources on those who had. To use Orca, a volunteer logged into the Orca web site on his or her smart phone.
