Hi @GoranSMilovanovic and @Manuel! My name is Hal — I'm a privacy engineer on the Privacy Engineering team. There is some precedent <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131280> for releasing data of this variety, but I still have a couple of questions: - Which nations encompass the "Global South"? Will they be aggregated together in their entirety (e.g. "In July 2021, the W editors in the Global North made X edits and Y editors in the Global South made Z edits") or split up by country? - This is a key question because one of the major mitigations within the publicly-available geoeditors dataset <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits/Geoeditors/Public> is to suppress the release of data from several countries (some of which may be a part of the Global South) that are potentially dangerous for journalists or internet freedom. In the case that you want to release country-month-editor-edit data, I would recommend the removal of these countries <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits/Geoeditors/Public#Country_Protection_List>. - Do you want this data to be released as exact counts? One other major mitigation from geoeditors_public is to release ranges rather than exact numbers (e.g. 14 edits in Algeria in January —> 10-20 edits in Algeria in January), and to not release data below a certain threshold. This gets less important the more aggregated data is, but is particularly important when small edit counts/editor communities could be released. - Who exactly are the "third parties" mentioned above that this data will be released to?
