How can we filter and analyse and compare data sets given how much there is?

How can we ensure the legitimacy of the system? What governance systems a needed?

Do we need to work with stakeholders to ensure

 

Can we use a photo website as a way of monitoring environmental change during construction and operation?

 

Are people really expressing their own opinion or feeling lonely and wanting to be part of a group, want to make friends, etc.?

• People can get a link to petition on a issue from a friend and they can just added their name without reading the petition because that friends 'knows me'.

 

Can be a means of seeking out stakeholders and finding people who are affected.
