Description

"Dating Data" is a collective contributing to take control of personal data and to data literacy in a secured and ethical manner for end users and research purposes.

It is comprised of members coming from different countries, disciplines (mathematics, sociology, journalism, law, physics) and foreparts (academia, private, independent, citizen NGO).

Meetings online at https://epfl.meet.switch.ch/dating-data
Every first Wednesday of the month at 20h15

Objectives

  1. Implement tools that allow users to request and analyse their data
  2. Find and ask for SAR with a concrete example and cooperate with communities in order to 1 increase the impact 2 relay the info
  3. Enrich the wiki with data structures extracted from the SARs
  4. Develop methodologies that allow for research without dependency on commercial platforms
  5. Formalize the working group and project with an official legal entity

Problematic Proposals

  1. Sexual harassment
  2. Scams, phishing, fake profiles
  3. Users are affected by malicious behaviours 1 and 2 so how are dating apps moderating this and protecting users via the analysis of their personal data?
  4. Between 10-20% of users find a partner in France, Switzerland and United States. Do users really get the outcomes they want from the app in exchange for providing their data?
  5. Subscription rates changing according to user demographic characteristics (ex. Tinder)

  1. Digital methods project "Mapping data ecologies of the dating industry" https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n-p_efBmkK2v1KGCbHyHb_csmR6D7KN8SX3qron9Cn4/edit
  2. Tools to sample how many apps are in the Google and Play stores:
