Consumers’ data may offer them more power with tech companies than they realize. Our work, led by @nickmvincent and with @bhecht, measures consumer leverage. I loved being a part of this team!

New guest blog post, on the Data Dividend Project @ddpforall site : https://t.co/ppTbxa0a4T

"Your ‘data labor’ fuels the economic success of data-dependent artificial intelligence (AI) technologies".

Data strikes are increasingly realistic, esp. with new regulation in CA!

I'm honored to be a co-author to the #JUSTFAIR project and hope it can help shine a light on bias in our judicial system.

Great conversation with @grove at Municipal Legislative Commission Board meeting. MLC appreciates the partnership our cities have with DEED.

@lisalibrarian @CopyrightLibn The work on data strikes is led by @nickmvincent with collaborator @bhecht. Nick is wrapping up the final version now. It will appear at the @TheWebConf in May: "'Data Strikes': Evaluating the Effectiveness of New Forms of Collective Action Against Technology Platforms"

[Shilad Sen @shiladsen]

@lisalibrarian @CopyrightLibn Thanks for your interest! I mentioned the Facebook Container Extension: https://t.co/fxrs88iqgp. I haven't tried it myself but I feel like these extensions are close to what is needed by a data strike, even if they are not exactly correct now.

Have algorithms made the world better or worse? President Rosenberg sits down with @shiladsen and @bhecht on April 4 in Boston to discuss. @macalumni can RSVP at https://t.co/4sLbCdxrox

[Shilad Sen @shiladsen]

@YogtasticMegan My apologies. I should have thought of that. I'll share a public version of the slides in a moment, and will be sure to be more thoughtful in the future!.

Excited to share that "'Data Strikes': Evaluating the Effectiveness of New Forms of Collective Action Against Technology Platforms" with @bhecht and @shiladsen was accepted to @TheWebConf 2019, in SF this May. This paper simulates collective action by users against RecSys.

CS PhDs on the market - if you're interested in non-R1 academic careers, many of the top-50 liberal arts colleges are hiring!

They move early, so don't wait to explore. I think many PhD students would be happier with the teaching/research balance, so check them out! Thread:
