72 Police in Philadelphia
Pulled off the Street for
Racist Facebook Posts Philadelphia Police
Commissioner Richard Ross
is expecting to discipline
“several dozen” of the officers. It is possible that
some officers will be fired. An independent law firm is
reviewing more than 3,100 Facebook
posts that were catalogued in a
database called the Plain View Project. Created by Injustice Watch, the
project has catalogued social media

police officers from all over the country. The prioritized posts are ones
“clearly advocating violence or death
against any protected class such as
ethnicity, national origin, sex, religion and race.” Commissioner Ross said
he was “disgusted by many
of the posts” attributed to
the 72 officers in question. He said the department “will
work tirelessly to repair” its reputation
“with neighborhoods and individual
groups that we struggle to work with.”

Facebook Is Creepy. And Valuable.
As Alessandro Acquisti of Carnegie Mellon University
and colleagues put it in a recent paper, the question is “to what extent the combination of sophisticated analytics and massive amounts of consumer data will lead to an increase in aggregate welfare, and to what extent will it lead to mere changes in the allocation of wealth?”
“We don’t understand the value to us of the new data economy nor the risks it entails,” said Leonard Nakamura,
an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia who has studied the economic impact of data.
Though surveys repeatedly find that Americans are concerned about their privacy, they rarely take action to stop cookies
and other tools deployed to gather their data — leading scholars to coin the term “privacy paradox.” As Sinan Aral of the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has noted, “Lots of the things that depend on ads we want as public goods.”
Critically, to regulate the data-enabled world, we must first figure out what we stand to lose if the data goes uncollected.
