  9. Congratulations on your project, Edem! It was great to hear about your work with the Facebook Data Challenge Program! Understanding data trends across media platforms is crucial and incredibly pertinent, especially when many of the techniques used by platforms contain potential biases and methods of control. This begs the question of how to use data analytics to hold platforms accountable for their actions.
