Also, as a reminder with regards to the above regarding data privacy: row vs Wade was first and foremost about the right to privacy. Anything related to reproductive rights was only a result of the right of a woman, based on this result, to have her martial status private.

If you these examples outrageous, what you need to fight for is data consent, data transparency, the right to data deletion and withdrawal of consent, and better laws on what companies can do with intellectual property, data or other information that’s been submitted by people.

2. Did you know that Lakota elders are having to sue an entity called the Lakota Language Consortium for access to recordings and data they freely gave them ? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/native-american-language-preservation-rcna31396

Because until now, this is the least gross thing done with this business model. 👇🏽:
Just kidding. That building is like that all year around, but it went up lady pride month.
What the Internet teaches me is that there's an overwhelming amount of talented people that never find an audience for their incredible creativity.
Few people are famous and successful due to being "better" than everyone else.
@thomasfuchs you can just say musk, lol.
People say, "The Internet is forever".
This is not true. So much on the Internet has disappeared. I would state further that more has disappeared from the Internet than currently what exists.
This is one reason I wish that a P2P content delivery system was the default: because not only would it deliver information faster, information would depend less on WHERE it is and more on WHAT it is -- thereby creating an avenue for redundancies.
@reiver thanks so much! I can try it and see how I get on.
Really great thread on the power of just one guy saying “that’s not acceptable” to a group of guys. Even when drunk and out with pals. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1538472041581621254.html
@thomasfuchs it’s like the beanie baby bubble. But without adorable plushies you could at least cuddle if you’re into that. https://www.ft.com/content/1563d643-332f-3887-8c6e-caf7435f396a
