Description
The ethical issues around the collection, preservation, access, and use of social media data are complicated and numerous. These issues revolve around consent, user intent, and privacy, among others. They present added complexity for archivists, as one of our main goals is the long-term preservation of records. They also present added complexity for journalists and others who might want to collect and explore social media content for their work. Panelists will discuss how ethical considerations complicate their work to collect, provide access to, or to analyze and interpret records on social media platforms. They will also discuss possible solutions to some of the issues they face.
