@Reuters Why do you use "Palestinian "/prisoner" but "Israeli hostage"?! Stop dehumanizing Palestinians. Zionism is terrorism, Israel has to be de-radicalized.

@AdamBatesOrg CAREER proposals does not have SaTC on their title. My CAREER is also flagged.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Very symbolic of two competing visions of religion... At the exact same time you had:
- In Rome: Pope Francis inaugurating a nativity scene displaying baby Jesus in a Palestinian keffiyeh, and pleading for "no more wars" (the nativity scene was built by artists from Bethlehem: https://t.co/PXXTJi5puU)
- In Paris: Notre Dame's reopening ceremony, filled with many of the world leaders responsible for the very wars Francis was decrying...

Religion either as a legitimizing instrument of power - a crown on its head - or religion as a thorn in power's side, standing with the powerless.

It's not even a religious matter, it's a contradiction intrinsic to our humanity: do you fight for what's right and confront uncomfortable truths, or do you comfortably align with power? My Bible reading might be rusty, but I seem to remember Jesus having some pretty clear opinions about this particular matter...

[Rahul Chatterjee @rhlchatterjee]

Wow, blatant misrepresentation by @guardian! Yet another misconstrued story by cherry picking events and adding false narratives. Israeli fans rampaged the city tearing down Palestinian flags, shouting racist slurs, and abusing Amsterdam residents.

This is shameful for my alma mater. Universities should not compromise their high morals and principles due to threats from donors. It is sad to see universities in thr US complicit in genocide and human suffering.

[The Nation @thenation]

Momodou Taal, who is attending the university with a F-1 visa, was suspended after a September 18 protest under a new policy seeking to quash Gaza solidarity actions.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It is appalling that Cornell University appears ready to deport an international student without regard for due process, simply because of their presence at a protest. It is wrong, and I urge the university to reverse course immediately.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Massive crowd outside The New York Times calling out their complicity in the genocide in Gaza.

[Rahul Chatterjee @rhlchatterjee]

@lzcarl Completely agree! This was my first time submitting to NDSS, and the review quality is quite bad. One review is clearly AI generated and extremely vague / irrelevant! What is the @NDSSSymposium policy for AI-generated reviews?

@DianMawene I hate paywalls, so here is the PDF: https://t.co/0A6FBeNqEV

International students face uniq challenges and obstacles to assimilate in the education system in the USA. They are often overlooked despite being an important part of the US college education today. Glad to see they got a voice finally... Thank you for writing this paper.

[Al Jazeera English Podcasts @AJEPodcasts]

Thousands of people protested against Netanyahu's controversial visit to the US amid Israel's war on Gaza.

What is the impact of the protests?

@Mazharul_13 Haha, that's okay. You are now on the hook to do some advising work :)

[UW–Madison Computer Sciences @WisconsinCS]

Congrats to Professor @rhlchatterjee, who recently received an @nsfgov CAREER Award.

Building upon his work with @DAISofDaneCo, Chatterjee’s proposal asks a startling question: What if everything we "know" about system security no longer applies?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

No, Netanyahu should not be welcomed into the U.S. Congress.

On the contrary, his policies in Gaza and the West Bank and his refusal to support a two-state solution should be roundly condemned.

As I stated last month, I will not be attending his address.

[Rahul Chatterjee @rhlchatterjee]

@frgx Agreed! that's in the agenda. Though I feel SEO alone might not be sufficient. Some amount of tipping the balance is necessary from the search engines to fight the vested (and economically motivated) IPS promoters.

[Rahul Chatterjee @rhlchatterjee]

Majed will present our work on The Web of Abuse (https://t.co/NKIx2pnrnt) at @IEEEEUROSP 2024.
Main takeaways:
1/ A large fraction of survivors of tech-facilitated intimate partner surveillance (IPS) look for help online and often rely on search engines for that.

[Rahul Chatterjee @rhlchatterjee]

4/ Good resources to protect from IPS exists (e.g., https://t.co/tlgUzyD4GW or https://t.co/wE3BWE03pn), but they are not shown when survivors would search for IPS resources. Google, Bing can prioritize such resources to support IPS survivors.

[Rahul Chatterjee @rhlchatterjee]

3/ Resources relevant for abusers, however, are abundant, and they are easy to find using search engines and of clearly better quality. Online resources relevant for conducting IPS are significantly more understandable and actionable than the resources for survivors.
