If you like using #data to find discriminatory practices in advertising, we have an event coming up next week which might be just your thing! https://t.co/3qUlB9cSvR

It's just come to my (@drzax) attention that the first recorded @HacksHackersBNE was October 2012. We missed celebrating our 10 year anniversary! Also very cool to look back and find @antmandan, @skyedoherty, @mattliddy and @raeallen on the list of attendees at that event. 🎉

There's still room for more at our event tonight! https://t.co/aGApEeCyMw

Superbly interesting project by @snurb_dot_info examining the personalisation of Internet search products in Australia.

They are looking for volunteer citizen scientists to join up and contribute to the project using a data donation plugin (see the link below).

We still have a few spots left for tonight's Hacks/Hackers meetup over at QUT Gardens Point. We can't overstate just how incredible this interactive piece is, and that this might be your last chance for a while to experience it. @QUT

Plug post for our #anzca2021 "Algorithmic recommendation and circumvention in social media panel".

This panel brings together a range of papers that examine issues at the intersection of platforms, users, and automated decision making systems.
