An excellent read on the use of photographs and other visuals in collective identity formation of a protest collective co-authored by DMRC 's @DannyKirby79. I loved the authors' refreshing take on witnessing. @socialmediaQUT @qutdmrc journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf…

Not really looking forward to thousands of pro-genocide suspended accounts coming back to life, thanks to Elon’s latest edict

The plot thickens: pictured in this network is evidence of rampant, large-scale platform manipulation to get the hashtag "IStandWithP*tin" trending. It is far worse than Twitter admits. The red accounts are suspended, but the blue accounts are all still active.

Nika Shakarami and Sarina Esmailzadeh were killed by Iranian security forces after joining the widespread protests in the country. Their bodies were handed back to their families bruised and disfigured. They were both just 16. nyti.ms/3yDiXQn

It was great to be at the @AdmsCentre Dark Ads Hackathon. A really intense (and fun) couple of days with heaps of insights on the harms of targeted advertising! A big thanks to @MarkAndrejevic, @antmandan and team for organizing this stellar event!

Our very industrious team developed a 'pretotype' for an app (Body+) which would help flag instances of potentially harmful targeted advertising, especially towards young women.

Two decades is a bit of a wait, but if it meant doing it in the blue of Bengaluru, then it was worth every season of trying. Durand Cup Champions - would have been a shame if an Army kid playing football professionally never had the chance to say this. 😉 Come on, BFC!

Three months ago I heard Salman Rushdie speak at the PEN World Voices Festival. He said: “A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can’t defuse a bomb … But we are not helpless … We can sing the truth & name the liars.” We must tell better stories than the tyrants.
