A book I've contributed to with a chapter on the Thai state's transnational repression is now out, open access. Read about the long reach of strongmen regimes to silence exiled critics and to control the political narratives at home and abroad.

The Long Reach of the Strong Arm: Evolving Forms of Transnational Authoritarianism
This open access book investigates how authoritarian states seek to repress opposition at home and also silence dissidents living abroad and in exile

Det här går inte att försvara. Så låt de som fattat besluten som lett fram till detta försöka. Låt dem inte skylla ifrån sig, låt dem inte ducka. Ställ frågan tills de försöker, misslyckas, eller tills de ändrar sig.

Dra åt helvete exakt alla som bidragit till att det är möjligt att utvisa en ensam, autistisk 4-åring som varken kan äta eller gå på toa själv.
Ni splittrar familjer och grannskap och gör Sverige till ett inhumant, ovärdigt land.

It was never just about the ads. 📢

We’ve long argued in our research that the concentration of data power in the hands of tech oligopolies poses fundamental risks to society, safety, privacy and democracy.

The misuse potential of this is huge!

Bluesky har ännu inte börjat med annonser, men från starten har de samlat in enorma mängder data från sina användare, just för detta syfte.

bilden visar en skärmdump på den massiva mängd försök att samla in data som appen gör.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.

As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

Here's what happened:

- Nu när Kanada ska försvara sig mot samma tiger de tidigare försökte rida på, drar de lärdomar från Afghanistans djupa dalar och höga berg. De föreställer sig ett konventionellt krig med gerillaoperationer, uppbackade av Europa.
