- wyldfire 10y agoWhile I think that's a good thing, this is different from that in an interesting way. In this case, the government opted-in to releasing data to the public. And beyond that they accepted the "government bug report" from a citizen data analyst and (1) issued a correction and (2) vowed to monitor this data item going forward. A viral video is IMO not very different from having the local news media shame the government into taking the right action. While these videos have helped us reign in the systematic racism and violence of the police here in the US, it's fantastic to see the government acting in such a responsible and effective manner.
