Internet and journalism

In 2015 Marsh began working on a data project with a goal of allowing global collaboration on research and information without control by a specific platform.[clarification needed] This is a continuation of her earlier project called the Global Square.[2][3][4]

Activism

Marsh has been a transparency activist associated with Guantanamo activism, primarily for Canadian POW Omar Khadr, and Anonymous activity, particularly human rights issues.[5][6][7][8] She has reported on and campaigned against human trafficking and violations committed by global resource corporations.[9]

She has written investigative reports and interviews on Canadian juvenile Omar Khadr, one of the youngest prisoners of Guantanamo Bay. She was the national spokesperson for the Free Omar Khadr group in Canada.[10]

She has reported on ritual killings in Gabon[11] and began a research project to map connections between the people responding to a fracking protest in New Brunswick.[12] She started the OpDeathEaters campaign with a goal of independent inquiries to investigate and a change in public discourse around human trafficking.[13][14] The opGabon and opDeatheaters campaigns were the subject of a book, Crime, Justice and Social Media by Australian criminologist Michael Salter which featured extensive interviews with her.[15]
