✨New article✨
Platforms are battlegrounds of narrative control in conflict situations.I demonstrate how the intertwinement & asymmetrical application of corporate-government power leads to the necropolitical governance of digital populations @icsjournal https://t.co/pZXVLucRpt

I wrote about how people are using mutual aid to directly assist Palestinians. While an alternative to the politics of traditional funding mechanisms, platforms like GoFundMe also raise problems like privacy concerns & discrimination

How should we think about digital activism and act with it in the context of the Israel-Gaza War? My new article for ⁦@ConversationEDU⁩ https://t.co/YuvHAE3lr1

Preliminary analysis by FA, @alhaq_org & @earshot_ngo into the #AlAhli hospital blast in Gaza casts significant doubt on IOF claims that the source of the deadly explosion was a Palestinian-fired rocket travelling west to east.

MIT obtained hi-res satellite images of Saudi’s The Line project, yet, Google Maps doesn’t show images of the latest construction. This raises questions about who gets to access high-res satellite imagery technology. Critically, what else can’t we see? https://t.co/1hYPYfxRQX

Algorithmic witnessing that works on behalf of NGOs, activists and oppressed peoples, and against the techno-political state.

The World Cup presents an important opportunity to show solidarity with LGBT+ Qataris — but if western activism doesn’t prioritise their safety and well-being, it risks backfiring. I interviewed some experts about how we should go about this, for @Dazed

"Filmmakers are in the business of selling fantasy, I wouldn't be surprised if some films are made to wipe away their government's culpability in crimes"

To film or not to film: Cinema in conflict zones conceals the true horrors of war⬇ https://t.co/37DuJGYnwC

Salma al-Shehab, a Leeds University student, sentenced with 34yrs in prison for following and retweeting dissidents and activists. Highlighting how Saudi’s MBS targets users while simultaneously controlling a major indirect stake in Twitter via Saudi’s SWF https://t.co/YBvgXFjukC

[Chris Osieck @ChrisOsieck]

It’s beyond ridiculous that the US law mandating degradation of satellite imagery in Israel - Palestine has been lifted two years ago but we still have to deal with the same horrendous quality now as back then. You know what I call that? Censorship.

NEW: TikTok is massively expanding its fleet of content moderators in Morocco. Paid $1.60 an hour, thousands of workers sift through unspeakably graphic footage so it doesn't get to your 'For You' page

@majd_ai and I spent 4 months investigating ⤵️
