"Location data is a privacy nightmare" is a story that is happening again. Please enjoy this thread of threads of me screaming about location data.
Seriously we go through this every few months.

I once even spoke to Teen Vogue about it:

We've only hit January 2018

There was that time I hacked a child's tracking watch and demonstrated how even "self" tracking location was a privacy nightmare.

There are probably more. Location privacy is an oxymoron. We need to be building (network) technology that doesn't reveal location to others while interacting with every little app.

Since I keep answering the same "but why don't you just..." questions about this topic, let me take a thread to explain why your "clever" ad-hoc border encryption solutions don't work and why we need better solutions in this space.
First a little prelude: In the real world sometimes people need to bring data from one jurisdiction to another, and often this rubs the powers-that-be the wrong way and they get some silly ideas about denying basic human rights.
The threat models are varied, but we generally approach real world cases with the following success criteria:

* Getting through unhindered
* Getting turned away at the border
* Forcing better civil norms (courts / warrants / lawyers etc.)

Regular reminder: The telecom network is a giant tracking system and the number of people who can gain access to subscriber data is practically unlimited.

Source: this used to literally be my job.
I've been reminded of a few concepts recently and it's becoming very clear that I've forgotten more about the inner workings & implementation details of telecom protocol stacks than most people will ever know.
The vast majority of reporting on privacy issues in telecom systems painfully mischaracterize the technology & conflate different issues, despite that they generally understate the privacy problems.

The world makes little sense anymore because we live within systems that have become detached from the systems they exist in which themselves have become detached from the systems they exist in...somewhere in that stack of systems is the physical world we want to understand.
To further complicate, many of those systems have provided tangible material benefit to many (often at the expense of others). The systems are no less real than the physical world because they operate over the physical world.
Our current economic & political ridiculousness is, in part, a failure of neoliberalism, itself a detachment from classical "money" economics, which is itself a detachment from the resource-limited world we live in. All a gross simplification of history, circumstance and power.

#Thread I was triggered to write this by a status I saw over the weekend which was figuratively calling people who aren't entrepreneurs fools.
You must have seen similar ones like it. The one where they will claim you're building somebody else's dreams if you work 8-4 or 9-5.
The earlier you people who peddle entrepreneurship realised that not everyone is cut out for the business world, the better it would be for everybody.
You think I'm not living the life I dreamt of just because I answer to a boss? *Just let people do what they love, man.*
How difficult is that for you to understand?

If you're truly an entrepreneur in Nigeria and you sell real goods and services, you can't paint entrepreneurship ( in Nigeria) as exciting, attractive and something only foolish people will not venture into.

This is a #thread regarding Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv, the person who is currently claiming to be a trans woman and suing beauticians who have been refusing to wax their male genitals. I have decided to make this thread with neutral pronouns regarding Jonathan/Jessica because from
what I could gather they have chosen to be referred to as both Jonathan and Jessica and no amount of disgust and hatred I feel for someone could get me to misgender them on purpose. It took me ages to decide to actually make this thread happen because my story with this person is
very much still an open wound and traumatised me in ways I'm not sure I even fully comprehend. I appreciate RTs to get the word out, and I also am open to answering questions but please do not expect me to answer everything, this is very overwhelming. The only reason I am willing

#Thread @benkoku I'm a nurse working with an international school in Ghana. They have smart boards in every classroom which is good for visual learning. This is one of the reason why students who attend these schools become smarter than their colleagues in other schools
They write International exams, go through IG and IB. After IB these kids come out with internationally recognized certificates. I think a system like this is what we should adopt rather than this joke we call double track system #CitiCBS
I personally attend one of the universities in Ghana and I was having difficulties in the sciences. My dad asked me to search Khan academy and type any topic I find difficult. I was astonished the same topic that I sit in class for 2hrs and don't understand,

Response to the @OfficialAPCNg Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole by Yusuph Olaniyonu (@YusuphOlaniyonu), Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
"It is rather surprising that Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is behaving like a rain-beaten chicken, crying all over the place about Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, as if the Senate President is the apparition haunting his life and the sinking ship that he captains."
"Having decided not to join the pigs in rolling in the dirt; we would not like to be involved in any meaningless exchange with the demagogue that is now in charge of APC."-#ResponseToOshiomhole

Thread: How bad is #Carillion and why is it so hard to unpick? Having spent the best part of 15 yrs looking at public procurement data, this is my take on the situation.
1/ At @open_opps we've identified that 208 public bodies had some form of contract with #Carillion in the last 5 years. The total spend with #Carillion in the published spend reports was nearly £1bn in 2016, but this shrank in 2017.
2/ We don't have complete data for 2017, but by our estimates #Carillion's public sector revenues fell by about 25%
