Hello new followers! I mostly tweet about data protection, privacy, human rights, philosophy, governance, tech & data ethics, and people being people….like:
What IS data protection?

Why is ‘digital privacy’ hard?

I had a lovely chat with the Data Diva herself, Debbie Reynolds - on human nature vs datatech, why governance is hard, and how to be more pro-humane with tech. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did making the recording!

Surveillance advertising is creepy, dangerous, exploitative and enshittifying.
UK peeps, indicate your disapproval!

I think what I'm least looking forward to from a UK perspective is liberal talking heads congratulating themselves that "at least we're not heading that way over here" when any clear-eyed analysis of the last election result will demonstrate that's *exactly* the path we are on.

COVID-19 is not just a cold. While some may experience mild symptoms, the virus can lead to serious long-term health issues, including damage to the lungs, heart, and brain. Even those with mild cases may face lingering effects. Protect yourself and others by staying informed and taking precautions—COVID’s impact can be far-reaching.

The idea that anti-trans fanatics are “women’s rights campaigners” is utterly ridiculous.
They dedicate their efforts to abusing trans people and allies online, and concentrate their work solely on marginalising and demonising trans women, and stripping away their rights.
I’ve never seen the likes of Joyce, Forstater, Stock, Bindel et al discuss women’s rights outside of the context of trans people in the past 5 years plus. Meanwhile, genuine issues affecting women remain overlooked by these obsessives.

some people will do anything to avoid confronting people who are enduring harm right now - even to the point of simulating or modeling imaginary people and privilege their imaginary needs - because imagining a billion future people is easier than listening to a single real person
‘Computer says no’ is not a rational or safe basis for service and administration of public interests. Automation is the process of replacing human labour and agency with logic gates; that’s fine for a production line but destructive and dangerous for human social governance
