"we warn that ambitious research ideas & technical projects of/for algorithmic auditing may end up crashed by the standardising grip of traditional auditors &/or diluted within a complex web of (sub-)contractual arrangements"🔥🔥 must read paper for all interested in algo audit
A new episode of “Why is This Happening” is now available. @chrislhayes sits down with Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal App, to discuss artificial intelligence and the tech moment we’re in right now. LISTEN NOW: link.chtbl.com/withpod_x
A decade ago, I wrote blog posts calling on the public-interest tech field, then calling itself #civictech, to put 1% of the funding of for-profit startups into open-source nonprofits, as a hedge. Tools for, say, participatory budgeting never got funding. participatorypolitics.org/open-data-infr…
These licensing deals between publishers and AI companies really, truly depress me—have we learned so little since the last deals w Facebook and Google? Getting a few scraps in exchange for letting tech co's cannibalize and profit from journalists' work? ft.com/content/333287…
It’s true. Signal is a better way to communicate, with everyone.
I’ll always be surprised by techies and business leaders defaulting to Telegram (because it has good UX) despite knowing it isn’t private or secure. Have we forgotten why privacy is important?
Signal should be a standard app for all executives and public affairs experts.

I had assumed Google was smart enough to permission the tokens it handed out to devices, so eg your Android TV couldn’t access your Gmail account. Apparently I was wrong. 404media.co/android-tvs-ca…
The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy. UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence. If you or someone you know needs legal support, call the Austin Lawyers Guild: 512-817-4254

And second, @mer__edith with a broader reflection on the question of regulating social media platforms during a time of rising illiberalism in the United States. lpeproject.org/blog/social-me…
📢NEW FROM ME! On the TikTok ban, the danger of abandoning defense of speech to extremists, & how the liberal tendency to assume a just state "outside the scope of this paper" leads to confused law/policy that can exacerbate the problems platforms pose. lpeproject.org/blog/social-me…
@Peace_Bruv What'sApp uses the Signal Protocol to protect the contents of comms--what you say. But it doesn't protect things like your contact list, profile name, who's in a group chat, who's messaging whom, etc. Signal protects all of these. This is a very important differentiator.
Hell yeah this is a huge win: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted to ban noncompete agreements—a major legal tool bosses exploit to control workers across the labor market, from fast food to tech companies. thehill.com/business/46154…

I currently have a form of writer's block that basically amounts to reluctance to get to the finish line (probably because that means starting to grade). Why and how that works psychologically, I wish I knew.
We should be grateful for stuff like this, as it so clearly underlines that a main function of generative AI, apart from attempting to automate creative labor, is to enable self-promotional grifting

A new episode of “Why is This Happening” is now available. @chrislhayes sits down with Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal App, to discuss artificial intelligence and the tech moment we’re in right now. LISTEN NOW: link.chtbl.com/withpod_x

“AI” will not replace you. A person making half what you do with no benefits whose job is the same as yours was but now includes babysitting “AI” will.
This is an embarrassment to the class action bar.
Our class action is on file. We are representing Columbia University students who have been displaced from campus because the school could not guarantee their safety. We support peaceful protests but when a sliver of them invites and engages in violence including saying all…
@mer__edith It's funny how the conclusion to this is "so Bezos must have wanted to discuss illegal things in secret", rather than, "Bezos treasures his privacy like most people" ;)

@mer__edith @elenaneira @basche42 Correct. I find that it's a fairly common misconception that Telegram is as private and secure as Signal, whereas it is in fact, neither.
Anyone on @signal that I know here? It's the best. Speak up to connect.
It’s true. Signal is a better way to communicate, with everyone.
I’ll always be surprised by techies and business leaders defaulting to Telegram (because it has good UX) despite knowing it isn’t private or secure. Have we forgotten why privacy is important?
@elenaneira @basche42 No. Telegram is not private or secure, beyond one opt-in setting only for 1:1 chats.
