Um, did anyone else know that @Webex accesses your mic at all times, even when you're not in a meeting? Purpose is to detect nearby video devices, but making this a default-on feature feels needlessly invasive, eh @Cisco ? #privacy #ethicaldesign #privacybydesign

[Andrew Sears @AndrwSears]

I joined, and you should too! Particularly excited to see "Surveillance Tech, Predictive Tech, and Criminal Justice" and "Deepfakes and Democracy" as areas of focus. #techethics

It was a pleasure to interview @gmugar, one of the most thoughtful people I've had the pleasure of working with, about building trust through civic design: https://t.co/YGdCeLzCSr #techethics #designforgood #civicdesign

The real world is now an escape from the internet. Used to be the other way around.

@HannahPekarek genetic data is some of the most personal and sensitive in the world - what steps have you taken to give users confidence that their data won't be misused?

[Andrew Sears @AndrwSears]

@bendotolsen @RRIpeater @Microsoft do you recommend any good resources along these lines?

[Andrew Sears @AndrwSears]

@SimoneStolzoff Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro - sort of a low-key sci-fi mystery cast as a coming of age. Lots of interesting relationships written with subtlety, and short enough to make a good dent in a weekend.

[All Tech Is Human @AllTechIsHuman]

🤔Are big tech companies so powerful that they have effectively become their own countries?!

👋Join us Tues, Aug 18 for a livestream convo w/ @RanaSarkar_ + TBA about diplomacy in the age of big tech!

👍A joint production w @TheBridgeWork

[Andrew Sears @AndrwSears]

Yes, this is what we need. News organizations behaving more like tech companies because tech companies are role models for accountability, transparency, objectivity, and whatnot.

[Jessica Lessin @Jessicalessin]

I interviewed @meredith_levien -- the incoming CEO of the @nytimes -- and we covered a lot of ground.

"We are already a world-class journalism company. And for the next inflection in our business, we have to be a world-class digital product company."

Feds pepper sprayed this Vietnam Veteran/photographer right in the face. His name is Mike Hastie. He was an Army medic. #PortlandProtests

If America saw what America is doing in America, America would invade America to liberate America from the tyranny of America.
