I've decided on my #1Lib1Ref "theme" for this year. I'm going to be using @docgovtnz publications - uploading metadata to #Wikidata, checking the url for the publication is archived in the @internetarchive wayback machine, & using the CiteQ template to cite them in #Wikipedia.

Friday Policy Feature (thread 1/5): This week we took action against the #Chile digital platform bill It might distort the online info environment and pose risks for the rights to freedom of expression and privacy. We're supporting our allies @theGNI @derechosdigital
