@TheDomainSyd @pivotubi Are you serious @TheDomainSyd? I can’t believe you aren’t postponing or cancelling tonight’s concert in these conditions. A little bit of rain is one thing but this is torrential and storming. So many music fans are pulling out, come on and do the right thing and cancel.

@ODIHQ Congratulations on what looks like another awesome summit! Miss you all 💜

[Fiona Smith @fiona_ph_smith]

@peterkwells All the best Peter! You have made such an impact both personally and globally to advance an open and trustworthy data ecosystem. Just look at this outpouring of Twitter love! You should feel pretty chuffed :)

@oxfordinsights All the best Hannah! Was a pleasure to work with you briefly

The Fragmentation of Truth by @zephoria https://t.co/VghkyiwSb2 - another barn-burner that you have to read to the end.

Privacy is a justice issue.

Low-income Americans are more concerned than their wealthier counterparts about losing control over how their information is collected or used. They’re also more worried about online harassment and identity theft.

This rightly acknowledges that it's not just @WFP, these are existential #humanitarian issues.

When does service design improvement become human experimentation? Do we have the infrastructure to know? Or agree?

#openscience #civictech & #AI communities all wrestle with this.

Planning for meetings with @gatesfoundation in snowy Seattle this week- talking all things #FAIRdata

[Sean McDonald @seanmmcdonald]

If you think Palantir can’t re-identify this data, you’re (a) wrong and (b) don’t understand how this market works.

They will apply and sell it well beyond anything @WFP could anticipate.

This kind of partnership should be subject to far more scrutiny, and legal action.

Why you need historians at conferences of the rich and powerful. ‘Stop talking about philanthropy, start talking about taxes’.

[Fiona Smith @fiona_ph_smith]

So excited to be involved in this initiative with @CABI_News and @ODIHQ

[Martin Parr @parr2_parr]

Very pleased to finally tell everyone about our next big initiative to promote #openscience #FAIRdata & #datamanagement policy and practice in #agriculture https://t.co/SJDHRpdbIX
