Great to see findings from our @Sydney_Uni 'Digital Rights in Australia' 2017 report - https://t.co/QTq067q9nW - canvassed at @Aust_Parliament in @AuSenate Occasional Lecture by @ariadne_syd. It's time to consider citizen views on #digitalrights like #dataprivacy

But there is a darker side to social media use. Australians are concerned about privacy online - some very interesting research coming from the @DigiRightsAus @Sydney_Uni - you can check it out here: https://t.co/NaWcJ0o379

The tech revolution again. Useful for mustering critical mass of citizens & others to advance rights & redesign tech. But is ‘revolution talk’ part of problem? #RightsTechAu

[Fiona R Martin @media_republik]

@baxterkb the more data a company or government has about you, the more inferences it can make about you, and the more likely it is that this will determine your access to services #RightsTechAu

[Anika Gauja @anika_gauja]

Governments are not neutral actors in the #digital #privacy debate - especially when it comes to collecting data on citizens. So who should protect digital rights & how can we organise? @ariadne_syd #ipsawc @DigiRightsAus

[Krystian Seibert @KSeibertAu]

Very interesting seminar @CSIsocialimpact @Swinburne on digital rights research being led by @ariadne_syd @Sydney_Uni - lots to think about! Makes me wonder how digital rights activism will be organised to lobby for the protection of rights - the scale of the issue seems so large

“Algorithmic systems function as “black boxes”: people might not even know that a machine has made a decision about them. Even if they did know, they (as well as data scientists) have limited abilities to understand the logic of how the decision was made.” https://t.co/t543PvgvKH

The digital detox is on the rise — and it's good news for Australia https://t.co/gfjshDgGj1

[Australian Privacy Foundation @apf_oz]

Yes. And so should you. The lack of respect for our #privacy from both firms and government must stop. https://t.co/CPHiQs5OKP

Our board member @Lizzie_OShea: National security, when defined by the surveillance state, means exploiting vulnerable people abroad, putting Australians at risk, crushing dissent, & evading accountability for wrongdoing. We must resist https://t.co/66ycLyeSDT

Report out today explains how proposed new laws will silence Australian charities, hurt civil society & make it easier for Government to dodge accountability https://t.co/QKXXuQYhJH #HandsOffOurCharities
