Collecting intel on corrupt networks

• Open: Those that are freely available to the public, in an unredacted form, without charge.
• Semi-open: Those that are freely available to the public in an unredacted form, with charge.
• Mediated: Confidential information only available to authorised public bodies. Disseminated in an edited and modified form through publicly available documentation.
• Private: Information that is only available to insiders

1. Identify points in the information landspace where corrupt networks are vulnerable to exposure.
2. Apply data-analytics to maximise yield.

Specifically in step 2:

• Scrape company house data, digitise it, so that it could be modelled to rapidly reveal relationships such as commercial affiliations and proxy owners.
• This results in a database where data can talk to each other. We can then find out who a person is linked to, and if they or their affiliates have been identified in mediated sources.

Lobbying transparency

2014 年新的歐盟執委會上任時，承諾遊說活動要更透明，所以要公開他們與說客的會面。

過去 3 年半公佈了 20000 多筆記錄。Transparency International 對此做了資料分析。

他們發現，在 2000 多場遊說活動中，關於 Internet 的監管是遊說議題的最大宗，佔了 25%，並且其中九成是與商業公司、產業代表的會議，只有一成的會議來自消費者協會、非營利組織等公民社會的代表。

這表示我們未來對 Internet 的監管法律是可能受這些商業公司高度影響的。
