Briefly returning to X to share @IanBRUCEstudio painting a portrait of Elon Musk, live over the next week. This a fundraiser for my new gig, freeourfeeds.com, an excellent group of public interest technologists working to build a federated, open social media ecosystem.

I could not be more thrilled that we are welcoming @m_older as the new executive director of @globalvoices. It's hard to imagine GV after @ivonotes moves on, but if anyone can lead this amazing project forward, it's Malka: globalvoices.org/2024/09/16/glo…

Very pleased to share that my replacement at globalvoices.org is @m_older ! A reflection from me, and announcements from Malka and our board. globalvoices.org/2024/09/16/cel…

@ellerybiddle @avilarenata @levjoy I knew I should have kept that domain...

Okay great, hope everyone has as much fun as possible in Kyoto. And now I will take a minute to remember the very similarly-named #webwewant campaign of 2013. cc @avilarenata @levjoy

@AricToler @nytimes So great Aric. Congratulations!

🚨 Help me find a great Deputy Executive Director for @witnessorg - a close partner to me as ED, a leader on the organizational and operational side of our work, an external champion, and exponent of the critical values that drive our mission. #jobalert missiontalent.com/openings/witne…

@fgeerdink Please note that the work does not attempt to focus on every aspect of authoritarian practices vis a vis technonlogy. There is *one* incident from Turkey studied in the report. There's no claim that it's the only issue in Turkey.

one of the countries this #unfreedom monitor focuses on is #turkey, and it handles press freedom as well. #kurdish #media are not mentioned though, even though they are under the harshest pressure. this blind spot is just flabbergasting.

Hong Kong officials have vowed to take a hard line against “soft resistance” but failed to define the term. HKFP tracks the term's usage and quotes views from legal scholars. #Advocacy advox.globalvoices.org/2023/08/08/wha…

Everything you should know about #digital #authoritarianism globalvoices.org/wp-content/upl… @globalvoices @Advox @ameyann @ivonotes @vivianwubeijing @MariaRepnikova @badiucao @freedomhouse @RSF_inter @RSF_en @mongster @rezwan @sydneyallen67 @rmack @MOFA_Taiwan

@globalvoices @Advox 9/ And much more. Please take a look! All #unfreedommonitor @advox work is collected at [advox.globalvoices.org/special/unfree…]. And @globalvoices information ecosystem analyses are here: [globalvoices.org/special/observ…]

@globalvoices @Advox 8/ Learnings: Policy and advocacy efforts play out in diverse knowledge domains: privacy, free expression, data governance, media regulation, internet and telecoms regulation, and export controls. Stopping authoritarian use of tech requires a holistic strategy, applied locally.

1/ Pleased to share a @globalvoices study looking at narratives of authoritarianism in 20 countries. The work looks at how countries shape information ecosystems to push acceptance of authoritarian practices. [advox.globalvoices.org/2023/08/04/unf…] #unfreedommonitor @advox
