  • Data activism is a social practice that uses technology and data. It emerged from existing activism sub-cultures such as hacker an open-source movements. Data activism is a specific type of activism which is enabled and constrained by the data infrastructure. It can use the production and collection of digital, volunteered, open data to challenge existing power relations. It is a form of media activism; however, this is not to be confused with slacktivism. It uses digital technology and data politically and proactively to foster social change. Forms of data activism can include digital humanitarianism and engaging in hackathons. Data activism is a social practice that is becoming more well-known with the expansion of technology, open-sourced software and the ability to communicate beyond an individual's immediate community. The culture of data activism emerged from previous forms of media activism, such as hacker movements. A defining characteristic of data activism is that ordinary citizens can participate, in comparison to previous forms of media activism where elite skill sets were required to participate. By increasingly involving average users, they are a signal of a change in perspective and attitude towards massive data collection emerging within the civil society realm. Data activism can be the act of providing data on events or issues that individuals feel have not been properly addressed by those in power. For example, the first deployment of the Ushahidi platform in 2008 in Kenya visualized the post-electoral violence that had been silenced by the government and the new media. The social practice of data activism revolves around the idea that data is political in nature. Data activism allows individuals to quantify a specific issue. By collecting data for a particular purpose, it allows data activists to quantify and expose specific issues. As data infrastructures and data analytics grow, data activists can use evidence from data-driven science to support claims about social issues. (en)
  • Le datactivisme (littéralement « data activisme ») est un mot valise formé par la fusion du terme anglais data (donnée) et du mot « activisme ». Il désigne une forme de militantisme sur Internet dont l’objectif est de plaider un changement par l’intermédiaire des données. En France, le terme est encore méconnu malgré l'existence de plusieurs mouvements sociaux qui pourraient s'y apparenter. Il est à distinguer du slacktivisme ou de l'hacktivisme. (fr)
  • 數據行動主義是一種透過科技和數據的社會實踐。它源自於已存在的行動主義分支文化,例如:駭客和開放原始碼運動。 數據行動主義是一種特定類型的行動主義,被資料基礎架構 (data infrastructure) 啓動和限制。 它可以利用製造與蒐集數位的、自願的開放數據來挑戰現有的權力關係。 這是媒體行動主義的一種形式;但是,這不應與懶人行動主義相混淆。它能透過政治手段和積極主動地使用數位科技和數據來促進社會變遷 (social change)。 數據行動主義的形式可以包括數位人道主義和參與駭客松。隨著科技、開放原始碼軟體和超越個人直接社區交流的普及,數據行動主義已成為一種愈來愈為人知的社會實踐。數據行動主義文化源於前媒體行動主義形式,例如駭客運動 (hacker movements)。數據行動主義的一個決定性特徵是普通公民即可參與,相對於前媒體行動主義則是需要具備菁英技能才能參與。 透過愈來愈多普通用戶的參與,這是民間社會領域對大量數據蒐集的看法和態度已發生了變化的信號。 (zh)
