Hello! The DataKind UK Ethics Committee would like to invite you to our next panel event exploring the legal and ethical implications of web scraping!

Joining us on the panel are:

• Eric Barrett, Data Desk Manager, Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project
• Tom Higgens, Head of Data and Innovation, STOP THE TRAFFIK
• Janis Wong, PhD Researcher, School of Computer Science, University of St Andrews

We will explore the ethics of web scraping, how it can be used for social good, and what the UK regulatory landscape says about scraping. After hearing from the panelists, there will be the chance for attendees to ask questions and share their own experiences.

If you are interested in web scraping but unsure of its implications, an expert scraper or just curious and want to know more, join us!
