a computer science student unexpectedly came up to me in a nightclub tonight and said โMax I really enjoyed your lectures on ethics-they were so interesting. Not going to lie though before the first one I thought it was going to be really dull & dreaded itโ
I just learned about the new conference on Truth and Trust Online (and will be on the PC).
It is so great to see a new conference that aims to bring together different stakeholders, industry and academia.
Please consider submitting: deadline June 3rd.

Look at the Economist, digging its own grave - intrusive data collection is not only bad for privacy but also kills traditional print journalism (which becomes obsolete when all ads are hyper-personalised)
I disagree with the economist that 1) privacy fears of smart assistants, TVs, security cameras and IoT devices is 'overstated', and that 2) manufacturers need to do more to _convince_ people if their "potential" is to be achieved. Manufacturers do not yet deserve user trust.
@chifilter Thank you to all we met at CHI this year. Please spread the word that Human Centred Computing at Oxford is looking for MSc and DPhil students, postdocs, and (soon) associate professors of HCI. Please spread the word and contact me if you have any questions! #chi2019
Thank you @geri_fitz, @SABrewster, @AnnaCox_, & @vkostakos for all the hard work in organising an amazing #chi2019 conference. There should be "a day in the life of a CHI chair" video to show all the behind the scenes efforts! Hope you are enjoying a well deserved break ๐ค
Prof. Lizzie Coles Kemp "transparency [can play a positive role because it] can reveal values that we don't agree with and reveal latent conflicts that might only later be discovered [in a harmful context]" brilliant work on thinking about security at #chi2019
Preach โ data is not the new oil HT: @TomHale_ My only caveat would be that tech companies arenโt just collecting online data, but increasingly vacuuming up offline data, too https://t.co/OLk5dv6l4n

We're doing this in the AFTERNOON coffee break at #chi2019 today. Find us by the tables in Hall 4C (by the coffee). This'll just be a very relaxed, informal chat about Zuboff's book and relevance to the work at CHI. All welcome - even if (like me) you're still finishing the book!
