Canada's #MasseyLectures is among the anglosphere's great lecture series, on par with BBC's #ReithLectures. This year's lecturer is @RonDeibert, whose @citizenlab provides forensics and protection for civil society from despots and corporate bullies.

The theme of Deibert's lectures is RESET, the idea that the internet has become a toxic runaway process, harmful to human thriving, in need of being rolled back to a known-good state and re-run. It's accompanied by an excellent book of the same title.

I read Reset when it was in production: it's comprehensively details exactly how the internet got to this state: the combination of sociopathic greed, regulatory indifference and spies' desire to preserve defects in our technology so they can attack their enemies.

As I prepare for a trip to Strasbourg, Jonathan Sumption is starting to speak on @BBCRadio4 about human rights ... #ReithLectures
This riposte at @ALBA_Members summer conference in July will also be worth hearing.
