बातें करनी थी तुमसे बहुत सारी,इतनी कि बाकी की ज़िंदगी उनके सहारे काट सकूं।जब मिली थी तुमसे तो नहीं जानती थी कि ये आख़िरी बार है वरना सहेज लेती सब..जो तुमने कहा,किया;पर अफ़सोस कि तुम्हारी आवाज़ का एक क़तरा भी नहीं चुरा पायी।तुम्हारे होठों की हरकतें रह गयीं उसी पल में।>>
बात शुरु करने में तुम्हारी झिझक,तुम्हारी पेशानी पर पड़ते बल और बालों में तुम्हारा वो हाथ फेरना सहेज नहीं पायी।ख़ुद को हिम्मत देते हुए उस नीली शर्ट की बाहों को जो मोड़ा था तुमने,वो सिलवटें तो रख लेनी चाहिए थी।वो जब फिर कभी न मिलने की बात कहते हुए तुम्हारा गला रुंध आया था और >>
सांसे तेज़ हुई थीं।वो लम्हें रखने थे मुझे इस तसल्ली के लिए कि शायद तुम्हें भी दर्द हुआ हो।मेरा हाथ छोड़ वापस मुड़ते ही वो जो एक आंसू तुम्हारी बायीं आँख से गिरा था,जिसे तुमने तिनके का कसूर बताया था,वो मेरा पूरा समुंदर हो सकता था पर फिसलकर रह गया तुम्हारे होठों पर ही।>>

#THREAD: 🧵Check out @amnesty's new report which analyses the surveillance-based business model of @Google & @Facebook. We find that the biz model is incompatible with the right to privacy & threatens a range of other rights: amnesty.org/en/latest/news… But how does it work?🤔
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Google & Facebook offer "free" services to billions of people. But instead of asking them to pay a fee💰 people pay for access to their services with their intimate personal information - their likes 👍🏽, dislikes 👎🏽, interests, fears, 🥺 etc.
After collecting this data, Google & Facebook use it to analyse people, aggregate them into groups, & make predictions about their interests, characteristics, etc. They then sell these predictions to advertisers & anyone who wishes to target a defined group of people.🎯

“…if a claim is made directly by a politician on their Page, in an ad or on their website, it is considered direct speech and ineligible for our third-party fact checking program.” boingboing.net/2019/10/11/fac…
That statement was made by Katie Harbath, Facebook’s head of GLOBAL elections policy. I capitalized global because it’s important to realize Facebook isn’t just willfully destroying American democracy, but global democracy. Also, Katie Harbath has an interesting history…
Here’s her Linkedin page: linkedin.com/in/harbath/. Before being put in charge of global elections at Facebook, she was a Digital Strategist at the RNC. Before that she was at the DCI group, which does shady shit for conservatives. None of this is new, just worth repeating.

<<THREAD FACEBOOK>>I was one of the first journalists to connect the dots on how the Trump Campaign used #Facebook and exploited stolen data to win in 2016, in a series of posts on Narativ.org. narativ.org/2017/04/08/dia… @NarativLive @TracieMac_Bmore
2. Since then we’ve been calling on Facebook to take action and for government to regulate the role social media plays in disrupting democracy. This week Mark Zuckerberg agreed. So, welcome aboard Mark. @NarativLive @TracieMac_Bmore

3. Mark, you really want to fix democracy you’ll need to move quickly. Take a look at the social ad spend this year. Next year’s election campaigns have already started and waiting for regulators won’t achieve anything in time. @NarativLive @TracieMac_Bmore
