Getting a briefing on @facebook’s transparency report. Spoiler alert: Government requests keep growing.
transparency.facebook.com
disclosing data how quickly it reacted to consumer reports & how many mistakes remains an aspirational goal. #CatoSpyCon
Same trend at @Google: rising requests for user data, use of National Security Letters, FISAs. transparencyreport.google.com
Transparency can inform the debate about what should be done, says @DavidLieber. Indeeeeed. #CatoSpyCon

A THREAD ON #REMAINERNOW

So it’s been one year exactly since I (Andy) started tweeting under @remainernow.

This thread will cover thank yous, some of the things the #Remainernow campaign has done over the last 12 months, what I think must happen next & how you can help.

So 1 year ago today, having spent the previous 18 months devastated about Brexit & the ramifications it looked like it was going to have for UK, I decided I had to do more & I set up a new twitter account with a simple aim & this was the 1st tweet.

I'd been following several #regretful leavers (e.g. @HughNorris7 & @timjn1) for a while on my personal twitter (now dormant) & decided that their voices (& many others like them) must be amplified & they must know others feel the same..@remainernow was the result of that.

a wonky thread about what it should mean for social media companies to be transparent. my last report to the @UNHumanRights Council discusses: freedex.org/a-human-rights… #transparency can be so vague as to be meaningless, so some [long] thoughts follow
let me just emphasize that i drew these principles from human rights law (& work of some great thinkers), not out of thin air. sure, that law applies to states, but companies also have responsibility not to interfere w/users' rights.
one aspect of transparency is clarity in the rules (community stds, guidelines, etc). they are broad and general, tho companies are trying to do better, it's true.

"New research shows that most US academic institutions do not have policies to ensure clinical trials run by their researchers are registered and results reported."

"There is no complete list of all clinical trials, so we don’t even know that some trials have taken place, never mind what was found in them."

#alltrials
"Information on what was done and what was found in these trials could be lost forever to doctors and researchers, leading to bad treatment decisions, missed opportunities for good medicine, and trials being repeated."

Facebook Dark Posts: TED CRUZ EDITION
Most, if not all of these ads have been seen by only the users they were targeting (& one I shared in Sept Make Amer #1 thread). Until now.

[THREAD]
Thought it was just another batch of dark posts to add to my collection of Mercer/Bannon/CA collabs but from these ads there are new ?s
For now I'm gonna share the ads along w/context & findings. So take it in & by all means connect more dots.
