When Face Recognition Doesn’t Know Your Face Is a Face An estimated 100 million people live with facial differences. As face recognition tech becomes widespread, some say they’re getting blocked from accessing essential systems and services.

“There are few things more dehumanizing than being told by a machine that you’re not real because of your face"

For the last month, I've been speaking to people living with facial differences and disfigurements about how face verification tech is failing them. Spoiler: things aren't going well

The military has now killed 27 people as if they were enemy soldiers in a war zone.

The study by the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) pays particular attention to the UK, the US, France and Germany, where it says governments have “weaponised” counter-terrorism legislation as well as the fight against antisemitism to suppress dissent and support for Palestinian rights in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

“España es un país en el que cíclicamente un distinguido miembro de la clase ociosa se burla de la clase trabajadora.”

(Y en el que, increíblemente, gran parte de esa clase trabajadora sigue votando al de las burlas, todo hay que decirlo 🫠)

“The tech platforms that promised to transform our attention spans succeeded, but only superficially. They created a new, much worse way of creating culture. A universe of dumbasses talking to other dumbasses, measured by numbers that don’t reflect anything other than passive screen time”

Starved, Displaced, Killed: Gaza’s Journalists Persist Despite Dire Conditions - Nieman Reports The record death toll for news workers in Gaza is just one of the grim realities facing those still reporting as the Israel-Hamas war grinds into its third year.

Local journalists in Gaza remain the world’s only witnesses to the war and its atrocities. They are starved, traumatized, displaced, killed — yet managing to continue reporting from one of the most dangerous places on Earth.

A rightwing late-night show may have bombed – but the funding behind it is no laughing matter Conservative donors spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a rightwing Stephen Colbert-style talkshow
