Check out our special issue on “Pleasures of Surveillance,” edited by @juliaschan and @stefymcknight. The issue includes an editorial introduction and a wide range of articles, reviews, and an #artist interview. Always #openaccess. Read it here: tinyurl.com/m7bjvesy

@mer__edith Apparently, multiple facial images can allow certain software to identify those in blurred images with a rather high degree of accuracy.

@mer__edith I haven't had an opportunity to look at the feature in-depth, but was wondering if it's possible for bad actors to "undo" the blurring? I've read that blurring isn't so effective when multiple photos of an individual's face exist online.

PSA: if you take or edit photos of crowds or strangers with Signal, you can use our face blur tool to quickly hide people's biometric face data. You can then export the photo from Signal if you want to post it publicly. More on this feature here: signal.org/blog/blur-tool…

@permissionslip_ Appreciate the update. Thank you!

@gidarisc Update here! For now, we are only available in the US. Due to new Privacy Laws in the states, we're able to act as an agent on behalf of users. Canada doesn't have such laws at the moment, though we are watching that space and hopeful for the future!

Finally, you get to sign your own Permission Slip! Tell big tech no more taking your data on a field trip. Here’s a peek into how the app works. Now available on Android and iOS. 📲 permissionslipcr.com

I guess I should add that Blood in the Machine publishes next week. The first excerpt is here: fastcompany.com/90949827/what-… The first launch event is in LA with the great @CoryDoctorow, details here: eventbrite.com/e/the-internet… Preorders and more info here: hachettebookgroup.com/titles/brian-m…

It's not often I'm this excited about a book, but I can't wait to get my hands on this one by @bcmerchant. Pre-ordered and waiting.
