a very timely discussion with @Bissan_Fakih @DiaKayyali and @marwasf!
@Bissan_Fakih @DiaKayyali @marwasf "The #Facebook leaks reveal that it's the worst case scenario for Arabic speakers, although Arabic is a widely spoken language on the platform." @DiaKayyali
"There's bad moderation for a lot of users. At the same time, they're doing a horrible job at training their machine learning systems. These machine learning algorithms want to please Facebook, and they will act as they're trained." Dia

Through the #Watchdog project, we analyzed numerous applications in Lebanon and abroad to ensure their safety and security. Our aim was to push private companies to protect people’s data. @kataya_abd
For example, when pharmaceuticals company Pharmaline assisted in securing #SputnikV vaccines in Lebanon, we found that people were asked to sign a consent form to use their data for commercial purposes at a later time.
😍Our very own #BreadandNet coordinator @q_moses joins @nikkigladstone from @RightsCon, @sarahtallen from @mozillafestival, and Trinh Nguyen from Team CommUNITY to discuss the opportunities and challenges in hosting an online digital rights event.

@q_moses @nikkigladstone @rightscon @sarahtallen @mozillafestival "The biggest challenge to bringing @RightsCon online was how to organize and arrange sessions, how people would access and attend the event in a safe and comfortable environment. " - Nikki
@q_moses @nikkigladstone @rightscon @sarahtallen @mozillafestival We call @BreadandNet an unconference because although yes, we do want to host sessions, what we really care about is the community. During the physical #BreadandNet events in Beirut, you would always see people gathering, connecting, and creating space for collaborations." Moussa

"يؤثر على #المحتوى_الفلسطيني عدد من العوامل، يمكن اختصارها بما يلي: 1- الجهة الرسمية الإسرائيلية، 2- الجهات شبه الرسمية الإسرائيلية، 3- ومنصات التواصل الاجتماعي نفسها وسياساتها، لا سيما #فيسبوك" - @NadimNashif
"تتحول السلطة إلى سلطة بوليسية بالتزامن مع الحراكات التي يشهدها الشارع، حيث شهدنا على مجموعة انتهاكات للمعارضين السياسيين على خلفية كتاباتهم على #فيسبوك وصولاً إلى مقتل الناشط #نزار_بنات على أيدي الأمن الفلسطيني. وكل هذا تبعه انتهاكات مختلفة بحق الصحافيين" - محمود الافرنجي

@marwasf @GhinwaHayek @veroluiza "The issue in the MENA region is that there is unequal access to vaccines." @veroluiza
@veroluiza : In countries where vaccines are mandatory, making digital "vaccine documents" mandatory will leave out many people who do not have access to technology. Many people are denied access to certain social services as a result.
@jilliancyork broadly, the foundational principles focus on:

- understandable rules and policies (clear and precise rules that are easily accessible)
- cultural competence
- state involvement in content moderation
- integrity

What are the gaps in data collection in Lebanon?
refugee data is difficult to collect leading to exclusion:
- many Syrian refugees are hesitant to give their biometric data considering that their sensitive information might get accessed by other governments
