The library thread is lovely and funny but this kinda blew my mind... a free audio and video recording studio!
Now I want to help develop a library. x.com/danburylibrary…

@JanetHughes Awesome set of slides, thank you for sharing! Policy grenades summed up in one image everything that’s wrong in public sector. Well, a big chunk anyway ;) Can’t wait to see the recorded talk!

@grishund Tack för snabbt svar. Nu ser jag också. Den var borta för mig i 3 minuter bara...
I don't like to fight on Twitter, and certainly do avoid insulting phrases. But I do have this red button on my desk in my studio and every once in a while I slam my hand down on it and feel very pleased with myself. In case you're wondering how I stay calm. 😂
Did my video just get taken down? Can't see it. 🤔

"For a hero of our times to be openly and proudly autistic is awe-inspiring for a new generation of autistic people. Greta has said her autistic traits help her see things from outside the box, not being so easily led astray by lies and mistruths."

Not sure if #digitalethics twitter is having its Elon Musk moment...
I'll give Mr. Harris the benefit of the doubt in that he may be in a place right now where he is not tending to his well-being, but I feel I can also not leave these assertions uncommented. x.com/tristanharris/…
Just a note on this one that Twitter's character limit per tweet is 280 and that the apology is 6 tweets in a thread - with no limit on tweets in a thread. Clearly there is no character limit if you are aiming for clarity.

After an insight like this a valid next step is to explain how we will strive to be better listeners. Or even how we will help to amplify the important voices of other people.

They haven't all been ignored. There are many social scientists working in tech. And in other cases pop-science versions of behavioural insights have been used to actively manipulate and coerce users and stakeholders - applying the bits that make money.

1. This is about caring about vulnerable people and involving them in the design process, not about applying a theoretical ethics framework onto them.
2. Demographics of engineers is part of the problem. Some engineers are obviously better at this.

3. These services are not built by engineers alone. There are often team members concerned with interviews, research and risk assessments. Lack of listening to these people may factor in.
4. "Most engineers I've met" is not a convincing data point.

The use of the word "real" here is disconcerting. And again: it's about involving people who already have the skills and motivation to understand human impact - by in turn involving those affected. In the end, this is a culture problem; skills do exist.

And when we keep failing with strategies like this, regulation and legislation will follow.

Here is a reading list for anyone who made it this far and wants to dive deeper. #digitalethics

@hondanhon Believe it or not it's been really hot in Sweden today as well =)
Aware of what inhumane practices go on in "humane farming" we need to be wary of terms like "humane tech". I believe we need to judge these organisations by how well they are listening to those being harmed.
Thank you for speaking up Dan. x.com/hondanhon/stat…

@heather_ia @TatianaTMac @DuckDuckGo @firefox @NordVPN @betterblocker 👍 That list does not unfortunately fully disclose what ethical means in the context of each app. Always more homework to do :/
