CC Copyright Platform Webinar | Working Group on Digital Sharing Spaces
Channel: Creative Commons
Date: 2023-02-15

Led by Emine Yildirim, the WG on Digital Sharing Spaces was based on the idea that recent and upcoming legislative and policy instruments are likely to affect freedom to share. In 2022, the WG focused on how data sharing policies concerning publicly available data impact academic research and journalism in the public interest. While the group found that there are some safeguards in place, there are also several barriers for utilizing publicly available data by researchers and journalists. The main output of the WG was a position paper, encompassing two jurisdictions, the European Union and the United States. With this position paper, the group sought to provide some preliminary recommendations and to call for action and engagement to those who may be facing challenges and barriers in their respective jurisdictions. Watch the group’s January 2023 webinar recording. The WG hopes to use this position paper as a conversation starter for a bigger and more geographically inclusive debate.
