The Supreme Court • Opinion v Opinionated
Given that the outcomes of the SCOTUS cases can have colossal influence on the American way of life, the justices’ opinions – which elaborate on the reasoning of the decision made — are heavily scrutinized and analyzed by specialists. These opinions are readily available to the public, yet it remains a daunting task to read through and make sense of. But by visualizing them on a single screen, we can begin to grasp the scope, scale, and sequence of SCOTUS opinions, and possibly gain hints as to how they might lean on future cases.

Facebook: A Breach in the Wall
The simple story is this: Facebook exposed data on up to 87 million users to Cambridge Analytica, which used the data for a major political campaign. The longer story is about the explosive research and development of the technology that allowed this to happen to begin with, and what other things these technologies are capable of doing with our data and the length of their reach.
