“I think they are a profoundly antisocial technology that should be rejected in every way possible,” said Gilliard. “Their very existence is toxic to the social fabric." It’s still up in the air whether Meta’s gamble on glasses will pay off. Beyond their horrifying privacy implications, wearable AI-powered devices like Bee and Friend so far have proven more obnoxious than useful, and it’s unclear whether people who buy them will even want to use them. But one thing many privacy experts agree on is that even if we can’t change the law, we can change peoples’ attitudes around consent. “One way to think about it is protecting your community and the people you care about,” said Gilliard. “When you’re wearing these glasses, when you use your video doorbell, when you record everyone’s conversations, you’re not just surveilling yourself. And there’s no consistent and foolproof way to guarantee that information won’t be used against people you care about — to hurt trans and queer people, or hurt immigrant communities. I wish people would think about it in those terms instead of ‘did my package get delivered.’”

call them whatever you like, the reality is 'smart glasses' are surveillance devices designed by tech companies to violate consent and rewrite social norms. social shaming is still a more effective a deterrent than the law. @hypervisible.blacksky.app

Gaza: MSF condemns Israeli attack on MSF water distribution site This attack cannot be dismissed as an error. It was a deliberate attempt to sabotage water distribution to civilians who cannot leave the area, particularly the poorest, the sick, and the most vulnera...

Israeli Forces fired upon a clearly identified Médecins Sans Frontièreswater truck while it was distributing 10000L of drinking water in Gaza City. The vehicle’s route and schedule had been communicated in advance to the Israeli authorities, as MSF does on a daily basis.

The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!"

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana agree to launch leftwing party Former Labour MPs condemn ‘rigged’ system and promise ‘a mass redistribution of wealth and power’

I wish Jeremy and Zarah well. But I’ve not yet seen any policy they’re proposing that isn’t already a longstanding part of the Green Party manifesto - and any party that doesn’t have the nature and climate emergencies front and centre is part of the old politics, not part of the new

I’ve heard enough words – I want more Government action on Israel-Palestine When so-called mistakes equals the killing of innocent people, surely we need to stop Israel from making them.

The ethnic cleansing of Gaza is happening before our eyes.

Israel’s barbaric killing and starvation of civilians is sickening.

Insane that the British Foreign Secretary can meet with the former leader of Al Qaeda in Syria while, at home, on the same day, his government arrested 20 people on 'terrorism offenses' for supporting a non-violent pro-Palestine protest group.
