The Nation · Can We Still Recover the Right to Be Left Alone?The political theorist Lowry Pressly thinks we’ve abandoned a more creative and humanist definition of the concept.
Selling your face for AI cash? Actors are discovering their likeness used in scams and political propaganda, often trapped by contracts. A stark warning about the dark side of AI likeness deals. #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalRights #TechEthics

PPC Land · EU's attempt to fix GDPR enforcement backfires spectacularlyHow a well-intentioned regulation became a bureaucratic nightmare.
The digital ID systems being rolled out across Global South countries are two-faced: they promise inclusion while enabling unprecedented surveillance. India's Aadhaar system has denied benefits to millions while leaking data. Technology designed primarily for control will never truly empower. #DigitalRights #TechPolitics
Big tech’s burning, #AI’s hallucinating, #Crypto bros are still grifting, and somehow #USPolitics keeps getting worse. Meanwhile, #Trans people in the #USA are fighting for their lives—and the mainstream #News acts like it’s just another debate segment.
That’s why I’m on #Mastodon. That’s why we’re building the #Fediverse. Open, decentralized, and not run by billionaires with god complexes.
Long live #Linux. Death to walled gardens.

Encrypted messaging isn't just for privacy enthusiasts—it's saving lives in conflict zones. Tools like Signal enable human rights documentation while protecting sources. Technology that preserves human dignity deserves our support. #TechForGood #DigitalRights
Arguing with my dad about universal broadband access again. He calls it a luxury; I call it essential infrastructure. In 2025, internet access determines education, healthcare, and job opportunities. Digital divides = opportunity divides. #DigitalRights #NetEquality

Alright, #introduction time!
Hi all, I go by Julie (or Jules, on occasion) and I love #reading and #writing, mainly #SFF
As you can tell by my avatar, I am a #SuckerForStationery 
I am a cat person, but don't live with a cat at the moment. I also have small hands.
My day job is in tech, and I'm also interested in #digitalRights, #UnplugTrump, #Linux, #privacy etc.
I think #AI is bullshit and should not be used in general, and particularly not for art.
#LGBTQIA rights are human rights.
