Apologies for cross-posting but can’t seem to find answers anywhere…I work as a researcher and have been wondering if anyone knew of big data providers/sources which are nationally representative (country agnostic) and work within ethical collection parameters.
We use YouGov a lot and outside of panel providers, we’ve tried to do market mapping but find that most companies have ML/AI aided profile scraping which classifies people by gender/race etc. which is problematic, as it’s just physiognomy/face reading and subject to its own biases and reproduces the inequalities we’re working hard to lessen. I’ve been searching but can’t seem to find anything conclusive in the way of providers or datasets.
Anyone know of anything that could help?
TL;DR – There’s a lot of structural inequalities around collecting data (as per Data Feminism) and was wondering how I can collect data with greater sensitivity to ethics, but at relative scale?
