Listen "ODI Friday Lunchtime Lecture: Open your offing data"
Episode Synopsis
One of the UK’s regulators, Ofcom, published new research on offensive language last year. It hit the headlines and was a nice opportunity for papers and websites to make cheap gags about swear words.
As well as opening up the opportunity to make cheap gags, it also gave our Head of Policy, Peter Wells, an opportunity to open up some data, talk to people about swear words and the importance of context, and to wonder whether that data can be used to make better decisions about swearing.
WARNING: Contains strong language
