Facebook's new avatars "represent who you are" — unless you're Blind.
The devs exploit screen reader detection at launch to hide the avatar maker from Blind Voiceover users.
This encoded bias is frictionless, fast and enacted without consent.

1st up Qiana Johnson of Northwestern University - I’m always fascinated by the fact that US Libraries seem to be a sole bulwark for users privacy in a culture where that’s not a concern more widely it seems #nisoplus20
Thanks @NISOInfo for an amazing #nisoplus20 conference (and thanks to the sponsors who helped make my attendance possible)! My brain is very full.
