Open data helped democratize the web. But when community data trains AI systems those communities can't access or benefit from, isn't that extraction in different terms?

Whatever's happening in Karura shouldn't be taken lightly. In 2019 with @AfUncensored we did this investigation at how much forest cover Kenya's lost, Karura included

Between 1957 and 2005 nearly 75,000ha of forest cover was wiped out. That's roughly Nairobi's size!

The public participation threshold is something they’ll game by hook or crook! And if they can amend the constitution thusly through a bill, the term limits and other 🚩🚩items will follow.

India managed to initiate UPI (United Payment Interface) for over 1.5b people in weeks.

It connects your phone directly to your bank account via the gov initiated UPI.

Cost? Free.

It costs absolutely nothing and has supercharged the Indian economy through financial inclusivity
