[Air-L] Software/Platform/Architecture studies methodologies?

[Bodó Balázs]

Hello,

we designed and implemented a browser plugin based infrastructure with
which volunteers can share their data stream with us when they visit
certain websites, including social media.
currently 400+ participants from a social science research panel already
donated 16000 days worth of data.
we've written up the design and the challenges here:
Tackling the Algorithmic Control Crisis—the Technical, Legal, and Ethical
Challenges of Research into Algorithmic Agents
B. Bodo, et al.
19 Yale J.L. & Tech. 133

get in touch if you are interested setting up the infrastructure for your
study.

Cheers.

b.-
