Dig into AirBnB data disclaimers and legal / ethical issues #82

Closed mbonsma closed 5 years ago

mbonsma commented 5 years ago

As a group we had concerns about using the AirBnB data out of the box as an example dataset, so I will do some research to set up this dataset as an example of how to evaluate ethical and legal concerns around open data.

Possible resources:

Disclaimers on the AirBnB data website
Research about data ethics
Other examples of open data gone wrong? (thinking of the OKCupid one, but there may be others).

Might be good to link to some of the ethics codes for data practitioners:

American Statistical Association Ethical Guidelines for Statistical practice
The Global Data Ethics Project
- Data Practices - Values and Principles

As per our last meeting, PR for datasets we will use is #126. Closing this for now.
