Mark Scott
Chief Technology Correspondent, POLITICO | London, UK
Project Overview
Mark’s project focuses on finding practical and scalable ways to improve data access to social media companies for public health professionals, academics, civil societies and regulators. He will be conducting interviews with key stakeholders across the United States, European Union and beyond to understand how people access this data to track trends and perform research related to social media transparency and accountability. The goal is to provide details on how upcoming content regulation around the globe can be harnessed to help key constituents, including those within the public health arena, create user-friendly data tools to better understand what is happening across social media platforms.
