“We treat data as taonga, something to be respected and revered. One could argue that data is like a family member, and it is your whakapapa (genealogy). We respect data in that we look after it rather than claim ownership over it. This is similar to how indigenous peoples look after land. We only use data in ways that align with our core values as an indigenous organsation and in ways that benefit the communities from which the data was gathered.”

astroturfing as a service:

“We also identified real-world events that appeared to have been staged to provide ammunition that could be leveraged in social media campaigns. One case involved a fake protest staged outside a company headquarters on Regent Street, central London.

Three masked activists in baseball caps, sunglasses and masks filmed themselves waving placards… It is not possible to know who the clients were in any of the campaigns, or even what their objective was.”

‘On February 20, 1956, local officials issued warrants for the arrests of civil rights activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jo Ann Robinson, Rosa Parks, and Rev. Ralph Abernathy, for organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The following day, a grand jury indicted 89 of the leaders of the boycott, accusing them of violating a 1921 statute forbidding boycotts without “just cause.”’

sound familiar?

Currently the thing I hate most about being trans is that none of the clothes I want to wear will fit me and it's not something that can be fixed :(

Trivial in comparison to a lot of the issues we face but I can ignore the world while WFH and I'm naive enough to think the social issues might improve.

Maybe I just need to learn how to sew...

And pay £££ for some bespoke shoes :S
