The extent to which they will comply remains to be seen…
Meta says it will comply with a court order triggered by Lula’s campaign’s lawsuit, which accused the tech company, owner of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, of using biased algorithms and AI restrictions to favor Bolsonaro. trib.al/alIoKXb

Se cada um tentar convencer uma pessoa a votar, o efeito é imenso. Lembre-se: minha revisão sistemática da literatura com mais de 250 pesquisas científicas sobre como mudar a opinião de alguém. Há consenso científico: não afronte, mantenha o tom de diálogo, foque em pessoas potencialmente aliadas e que confiem em você, forneça detalhes. Muitos detalhes. Mesmo assim, a chance de se reverter uma opinião é pequena, mas existem casos positivos e isso é precioso. Foque em UMA pessoa, dialogue, ouça e DETALHE as questões factuais. ✊🏽

Yes, indeed.
“[My case] is a new form of ‘cancellation’ of academics prepared to speak out against managerialism. Managerialism is destroying Britain’s universities, and needs to be opposed.“

Hi everyone. Reactivating twitter to share this
I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA at the end of last week because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests
I arrived back in Melbourne on Sat 6am and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Democracy in Latin America
@Raul_L_Madrid's new book on the origins of democracy in South America has just been published - and we're lucky that it's open access.
A highly recommended read.
Open access: cambridge.org/core/services/…
I’m published today in @folha, Brazil’s paper of record.
I argue against the motion that organised crime in Brazil be re-classified as ‘terrorism’.
In the other ‘corner’, Cláudio Castro, the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, argues for the motion.

New (Open Access) work!
Wrote about how a "sacred geography" is shaped through sites, routes and neighbourhoods, and how one can read the recent outreach by Kerala BJP leaders to the Christian community.
