Does anyone have any resources on the dangers of #OpenData / #OpenMapping in terms of threats/risks to human rights. Specifically #indigenous peoples, land rights, data extractivsm? Asking for someone else.

@ebel I think @ekansa could have some good reference on the subject from an archaeological perspective.

I don't have any specific guidance or references at my finger tips. But yes, there are sensitive data concerns that are very context dependent. In US, Native American sites get looted & vandalized, and location data are sensitive. Certain endangered species also involve sensitive location data.
