These sections look like some sort of markdown formatting was attempted, but failed.

Visibility: To make the invisible visible Visualize hidden labor Visualize hidden uncertainty * Visualize hidden impacts Associated limitations with this principle are that visualizations are already involved and designers must frequently struggle with the comprehensibility of their designs and the literacy of their audience. Managing complexity is, therefore, a virtue in design that can be in direct opposition with the desire to visualize the invisible.

Privacy: To collect data with empathy Encourage Small Data Anthropomorphize data * Obfuscate data to protect privacy Associated limitations with this principle are restricting the type and amount of data that is collected has a direct impact on the quality and scope of the analyses hence obligation to provide context, and analytical power can, therefore, stand in direct opposition to the empathic collection of data.

Power: To challenge structures of power Support data due process. Act as data advocates. * Pressure unethical analytical behavior. Here the limitations are that the goal of promoting truth and suppressing falsehood may require amplifying existing structures of expertise and power, and suppressing conflicts for the sake of rhetorical impact.
