@bostonjoan.bsky.socialThere goes the Noble Peace prize.
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialIām here for you Ruha! @criticalinternet.bsky.social will co-host. Happy to arrange logistics with the help of my grad student in emerging media studies.
The crackdown on academic speech is happening in Europe this week at a disinformation conference.
We must maintain our own infrastructures.
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialWhat part of the city are you staying? Anything you want to try? If youāre into seafood, MA takes the crown. On the north shore, thereās lots of content around which places makes the best āsuper beef 3-way.ā If you can make it to Gloucester, youāll have the time of your life. Good town.
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialšØThe live-streaming of a public execution breaks every single terms of service for all social media sites. What to do with all the memes and clips generated by a state sponsored public execution? Itāll stay up as unmoderatable political speech because it was an official White House stream.
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialWe should find out what service they will stream from and see if the infrastructure is owned by a private company. Imagine YouTube agreeing to this? Kill shots are expressly forbidden in every terms of service online and probably have implications for ISPs, Cloud Services, & memetic content.
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialI am beyond horrified to hear about the upcoming live streamed execution. In no sane world are public executions held, never mind broadcast. That is lynching. Livestreaming has really changed how media power operates. Can you imagine any current media corporation willingly broadcasting this? No way
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialToday on THE GLITCH REPORT, from @wgbh.org on The Curiosity Desk, we talked to @drewharwell.com about his recent investigations into Flock and misuse by police, then we turn to his investigation into the women of the far right and the dangers they face.
We close with a laugh, I promise!
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialEveryone should level up their security this season! š¦«š
This is a great org and should be wicked helpful.
@craignewmark.bsky.social This would be great for the CNP network.
@bostonjoan.bsky.social@chrislhayes.bsky.social I saw you talking about kids and AI on your TikTok.
Have a look at the āStudent First AI Policyā developed by @criticalinternet.bsky.social, @shaleen.bsky.social, and FairPlay. We must protect kids from harmful AI now before itās integrated.
@criticalinternet.bsky.socialReposted by @bostonjoan.bsky.socialDeveloped by the Parabola Center for Law & Policy, Fairplay, & @criticalinternet.bsky.social, this model "Student-First AI Policy" provides strict criteria to review & evaluate the use of AI products in schools
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialI donāt always try to change policy, but when I do, itās for the kids.
Schools struggling with implementing AI policy? Weāve got some ideas for you!
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialWhat is happening to menās bodies and minds that require toilet paper or ādude wipesā to be marketed as a gendered product?
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialSometimes, you can beat them at their own game

@bostonjoan.bsky.socialNew survival strategy: Stay alive. Stick around.
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialSo, much of the AI discourse can be reduced to one simple motivation: womb envy.
@bostonjoan.bsky.socialWe covered SCAMS on The Glitch Report
@wgbh.org
Prof @lanalanalana.bsky.social explains her research on the proliferation of scam culture online and how generative AI exacerbates It.
She warns to look out for being pressured act fast as it's the signature of scams.
