Check out: Defund Big Tech, Refund Community https://t.co/0LTe4DUeop for a great break-down of the myths underlying Silicon Valley's massive and expanding monopolies on wealth and infrastructure, and the urgent need to redistribute that $ and infra back to communities

Assange is a hero not a criminal. His brave publishing has benefited you and so many others in exposing corruption. Pardoning Assange would be a popular highlight of your presidency and contribute positively to your historic legacy. #PardonAssange

Brilliant talk by @msurman, esp. about strengthening collective data rights. Mark also highlighted the need for better resourcing Cdn Privacy Commissioners so they can keep up with the growing challenges. Without that even the finest Charter of Digital Rights will be hollow.

[bryanashort @bryanashort]

Terrific talk today by @msurman at #CIGF2020 about the future of digital rights in Canada.

Inspired to work towards giving Canadians collective data rights through my work at @OpenMediaOrg!

The discussion should be esp. interesting in light of Sidewalk Labs pulling out of Toronto, opening up the field for positive alternatives.

The Smart City in a Digital World by @Vmosco is invaluable to understanding what is driving smart city developments and what more positive alternatives might look like. Particularly relevant to the @SidewalkToronto project #BlockSidewalk https://t.co/whBdbGWbcX

Even the most robust de-ID doesn't solve all privacy issues, as politically manipulative psycho-graphic profiling in #CambridgeAnalytica scandal shows. De-IDed personal info still needs protection for use, transparency, accountability, ...

[Andrew Clement @AndrewClement]

@Lisa_M_Austin @kelemam @lukbynumbers @momaku @privacyint @AnnCavoukian @VTeagueAus @chrisculnane @bipr Even in cases where it may be 'proven' statistically that de-id is robust, those who are easiest to re-id, because their data are anomalous, are also often at greatest risk from harm once re-ided - eg those with particular 'disabilities'.
