The Promises And Perils Of Using Big Data To Regulate Nonprofits, Lloyd Histoshi Mayer
The Promises And Perils Of Using Big Data To Regulate Nonprofits, Lloyd Histoshi Mayer
Journal Articles
For the optimist, government use of “Big Data” involves the careful collection of information from numerous sources.

Those databases render privacy an illusion and result in arbitrary and discriminatory computer-generated decisions. The reality is, of course, more complicated. On one hand, government use of Big Data may lead to greater efficiency, effectiveness, …

Instead, Modern-Day Monitorships have been employed …

This access also is often limited by countervailing concerns, such as the privacy of individual citizens and national security. Nevertheless, the presumption both at the federal level and in every state is to provide such access. …
