(Reuters) – When lawyers in the Harvey Weinstein rape trial question potential jurors on Thursday, they may already know who has used the #MeToo hashtag on Twitter or criticized victims of sexual harassment in a Facebook discussion.

REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz The intersection of big data capabilities and prevalence of social media has transformed the business of jury research in the United States, which once meant gleaning information about potential jurors from car bumper stickers or the appearance of a home. Now, consultants scour Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and other social media platforms for hard-to-find comments or “likes” in discussion groups or even selfies of a juror wearing a potentially biased t-shirt. “This is a whole new generation of information than we had in the past,” said Jeffrey Frederick, the director of Jury Research Services at the National Legal Research Group Inc. The techniques seem tailor-made for the Weinstein trial, which has become a focal point for #MeToo, the social media movement that has exposed sexual misconduct by powerful men in business, politics and entertainment. Weinstein, 67, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assaulting two women. The once-powerful movie producer faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault. On Thursday, the legal teams will begin questioning potential jurors, a process known as voir dire. More than 100 people passed an initial screening and the identities of many of those people have been known publicly for days, allowing for extensive background research. Mark Geragos, a...

International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the progress the cyber-security industry has made in improving gender diversity. Yet it’s a sad but true fact that women are still facing discrimination and sexual harassment when attending and speaking at conferences. The industry is trying to encourage more women to get involved in cyber-security events. Yet when your talk is followed by sexist remarks and in the worst cases, unwanted advances, it’s not hard to see why women might prefer to stay away altogether. The figures reflect the truth. More than 40 percent of women who attend cyber-security conferences experience derogatory, inflammatory or discriminatory language, comments or conduct, according to a study by Jane Frankland’s IN Security Movement. Jane Frankland Frankland’s study of 2,150 women across the world found one in four had been sexually harassed at conferences, often by older, more powerful men. When these incidents were reported, more than half were dissatisfied with how it was handled. Cyber security researcher Maggie Morganti has experienced the dark side of conferences first-hand. “People started leading with sentences like ‘not to be creepy but…’, physically touching me, and other very uncomfortable interactions. They did this whether I was alone, with other women, or with male friends.” Maggie Morganti Morganti tried several tactics in hope of avoiding these unwelcome advances, such as always ensuring she was accompanied by a male friend. But it solved nothing. “I was still pawed at by men I barely knew.
