Your data is being manipulated.

The more that we rely on data to train our models and inform our systems, the more that this data becomes a target for those seeking to manipulate algorithmic systems and undermine trust in data. danah boyd explores how systems are being gamed, how data is vulnerable, and what we need to do to build technical antibodies.
