Nextdoor is a location-based social network meant to connect neighbors to neighbors. The network’s growth is stirring up questions about how hyperlocal social networks unwittingly allow neighbors to engage in racial profiling. In one Oakland neighborhood, residents organized a “whites-only” meeting to address the issue of how to properly report and describe suspicious people on Nextdoor. The other alternative is a purely data-driven tool like Crimespotting, the data visualization project by Stamen, which plots crimes on city maps.”]
