@MsBaust However, some of the things he's promoting can severely affect many people who are not necessarily involved in this. #digital_citizenship 2/2

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust My favorite line is "Fedorov has shaped his government role around his lifestyle." Ngl, it reminds me of the #Bradley Model because it's talking about his use of #social_media, civic role, and lifestyle and how they're influencing one another. 1/2

@MsBaust After a #security breach, I don't think they should just say that they think no data was accessed. Data can be changed or removed, and highly-skilled hackers can cover their tracks well enough to mislead investigations.

@AdityaB03840209 @MsBaust wb hacking tho, u can't sign a contract that says other ppl won't hack u and replace ur images...

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust Ik "warfare is changing with advances in #technology" and whatnot, but the implications of this are that now more civilians are being involved in wars and it is the fundamental duty of (most) #governments to protect their citizens. #peopleandmachines #safety #peoplearerobotstoo

@Ahmed80990787 @MsBaust emp 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

@AdityaB03840209 @MsBaust wb samsung tags 🤨

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust Also as a side note, the comments under the BBC post are hilarious, but they do bring up good arguments for both sides, and the fact that BBC effectively handed over a detailed guide of how to use and abuse these is also concerning.

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust Yeah, there're negatives to this, but if you're looking at this from an #ITGS perspective, you should also consider the +ves. For example, they can be used to track family members' locations (#redundancy for Apple users, feature for non-Apple users) and make sure they're safe.

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust If we're finding proof NOW that Google has been collecting location #data w/o users' permission, it begs the question: "What else are they collecting?". If any of that (#private) information gets leaked, we wouldn't know how to deal with it until it's too late. #peopleandmachines

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust Smart assistants shouldn't be pulling information from just anywhere on the internet, especially not places like TikTok, Reddit or Twitter. One could argue that certain accounts can be permitted, but then who would get to decide? There would be so many questions that follow this.

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust They clearly missed the warnings that alerted them to #unauthorized_access to their systems. There're so many places where this could've been avoided:
1. Teach staff not to open unrecognized emails
2. Have a spam filter or antivirus
3. DON'T ignore the warnings
Just to name a few

@AdityaB03840209 @MsBaust that's kind of like how cyberbullying is illegal but bullying irl isn't

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust If they want to remove end-to-end #encryption, then they should at least replace it with something that's still secure to retain some #privacy. 2/2

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust The article makes it seem that this is a black and white issue, when really, there is a lot of nuance to be considered. #security and #privacy often end up as two opposite sides of the same issue (including this one), and they are both very important. 1/2

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust Idk if it's a #legal thing or what, but it would be easiest and most efficient to tackle this problem from a younger age. #peopleandmachines

Also I find it quite ironic that the parents says that their "support group meets once a fortnight on Zoom." 😛 2/2

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust The article says the clinic is only able to treat patients upwards of 13 years (and some 12 y.o.s), and that they have heard from parents with children as young as 8 y.o., but they can only treat the 12+s. 1/2

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust I think there is a lot of thought that needs to be taken before this is fully implemented. Some points of consideration were mentioned in the article, but I think there needs to be more testing and thinking before it is finalized.

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust Twitter's new policy has potential for great, positive #impact, but they should've probably consulted a #legal team or smth to figure out the wording because as of now Twitter can unintentionally infringe on people's #right right to free speech.

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust I'll have to disagree with the doctor when he calls this "truly informed consent," as he isn't explaining the negatives as much (maybe he just wants to make moneh, who knows 👀). 3/3

[Ishaan @ishaanitgs]

@MsBaust However, from what I understand, the #VR #simulation is only showing what is intended (or the best case scenario) and not how a bad operation could look. 2/3
