Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.'

NEW: Cops in Texas told 404 Media in May they used Flock to find a woman who self-administered an abortion out of concern for her safety.

Documents now show police were conducting a “death investigation” and discussed whether they could charge her with a crime: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Is it possible, or even desirable, to actively participate in collective governance across many arenas of our lives?

I'm excited to share a preprint of a long-in-the-works paper with team Metagov, exploring the intersection of online governance and attention economies. I hope it's useful! https://

Voting Rights in America 60 years of the Voting Rights Act

Of the current 9 Supreme Court Justices, NONE would have been eligible to vote when the nation held it’s first election in 1789.

Why?

They're all are either Catholic, Female, Black or Hispanic.

Building a Community Privacy Plan Everyone's security plans and situations will always be different, which is why we often say that security and privacy are a state of mind, not a purchase. But the first step is always taking a look
