We’re about to begin our tweet chat with @katejsim of @oiioxford — ‘Why reporting sexual violence with data-driven technologies will never make us safer’. Follow this thread for a conversation on reporting tech that uses big data, biases seeping into such tech, & more! https://twitter.com/deep_dives/status/1283268208414228481

Hi @katejsim! Thank you for joining us today. A little about her — Kate Sim is a DPhil student at @oiioxford researching the datafication & automation of sexual harassment reporting systems in US higher education.

Q1. In your #BodiesofEvidence essay ( http://bit.ly/reportingtech ), you write about the increasing use of big data in "safety technologies" for sexual assault — as an objective & trustworthy alternative to "traditional" forms of reporting. Do these apps deliver on their promises?
