New from me: Menstruation-tracking apps leak users' #data to advertisers & law enforcement, especially post-Roe v. Wade in the US. To address these apps, I recommend data decommodification, which requires data be collected only to provide the service (ie., period tracking) but not be repurposed toward other activities (like advertising). #surveillance

Curious why academics in #Canada may be reluctant to speak on the #genocide in #gaza Fear of censorship & reprisal, doxing, #hate & accusations of antisemitism. @bhaggart post explains why our article on the political weaponization of antisemitism was difficult to write, & how the war is chilling academic speech in Canada critical of Israeli policies. #academicfreedom

New from me: Canada's proposal of voluntary #regulation of generative #AI puts big tech in the driver's seat to shape legislation in its interests & ignore key risks, including #bias & #environmental harm. #cdnpoli https://www.cigionline.org/articles/voluntary-ai-guardrails-risk-placing-corporate-interests-over-public-good/
