When domestic violence overlaps with digital privacy. A white hat hacker story to ring in TGIF. #hackers #digitalprivacy #rights

In today's least surprising news...Rupert Murdoch's media empire found to be a major destabilizing force re: democracy

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Exclusive: Over the last 6 months, @jonathanmahler and @jimrutenberg visited 3 continents to interview more than 150 people to chart how the Murdoch influence machine destabilized democracy in North America, Europe and Australia https://t.co/rmXoIcqYxb

Kicking off our spring season, ⁦⁦@JessieLanderman⁩ looks at lessons climate activists in the US could learn from activists in post-soviet states. On taking a 🌍, multimedia view of the #GreenNewDeal. #EnvironmentalJustice #HumanRights #activism https://t.co/FI4HaLjkgl

Thread for those who teach or study information privacy: So I gave my information privacy students (2Ls and 3Ls) a project for spring break, after we learned about anonymous speech, reasonable expectation of privacy, third party doctrine, and privacy by obscurity. 1/6

[The Tilt @TTilt]

On how journalists covering memes help spread far-right disinformation. Also: Did you know that memes are a primary tool for far-right visual/culture wars? This is the new world and it’s rife w visual propaganda. Not cute

[The Tilt @TTilt]

Honestly, pretty sick burn by @nytopinion

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

15 years of Facebook — and what a rollercoaster it has been. We created a friendship anniversary video for Mark Zuckerberg.

[The Tilt @TTilt]

This week, @JessieLanderman digs into the realities of creating a social change campaign. Lesson for #activists: every group will respond to a story in its own way, but simply providing information isn't enough to get ANYONE to act. #socialchange https://t.co/qgjLTxIEtU

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

I stand w/hundreds of #Google engineers planning the women’s walkout in protest of the $90M exit package gifted to Andy Rubin after Google found allegations of his sexual misconduct to be credible. Why do they think it’s OK to reward perpetrators & further violate victims? #MeToo

[Meredith Whittaker @mer__edith]

Confirming: the Google Walkout is real and deeply inspiring. Hundreds of people are demanding structural change, not just inclusive sounding PR

[Women's March @womensmarch]

Salute to the brave women at Google putting their collective foot down and saying ENOUGH to harassment. #WomensWalk

In light of the troubling global rise of authoritarian absolutists, with #Brazil’s recent election being THIS week’s sobering example, @mvonbraithwaite is sharing a new report by @amnadler, @mediated1, & @BostonJoan. https://t.co/s7W6930GER

[The Tilt @TTilt]

Rather than seeing each instance of a far-right, fascist victory on its own terms, to be fought one-by-one, country-by-country, we must instead see this as a concerted, global effort—a far-right playbook, so to speak. THREAD

[The Tilt @TTilt]

That playbook has always included disinformation, and now the tool of the trade is Ad Tech. To neutralize that tool, first we need to understand it. That’s where @datasociety’s Media Manipulation Initiative comes in. THREAD

[Data & Society @datasociety]

Flashback: “Discord is always on and always present among these groups on the far-right. It’s the place where they do most of the organizing of doxing and harassment campaigns.”

We're at @SiliconHarlem today listening a lot of incredible ideas about how to build a safe & community-centered #InternetOfThings. Can the future of #tech, #AI, #facialrecognition & #smartcities center ppl's privacy, safety & dignity? All the minds at @NatBlackTheatre say yes.
