THREAD ๐Ÿงต ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

EXCITING announcement ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ”ˆ @AmnestyTech is setting up an Algorithmic Accountability Lab & we are hiring! The Lab will be a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, AI experts & human rights researchers will do cutting-edge research...
...into the use of algorithmic & automated decision making systems used to deliver welfare, education, healthcare, etc. The Lab is very much inspired by the incredible work of @PhilipGAlston, @cpjvanveen & others on the โ€œdigital welfare stateโ€.
The pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation of the public sector, yet automated decision-making systems often exacerbate and entrench existing discrimination and inequalities, with a disproportionate impact on marginalized groups. We want to stop that. ๐Ÿ›‘

I've been reflecting for a while on my hesitation to share this @ukblm tweet. My family was forced from their homes in Palestine in 1948 and me and my displaced family are not allowed to return. My grandmother died in London, not Haifa where she was born.
I regularly stop myself from speaking this truth for fear of baseless accusations, pile-ons & an intensification of harassment & delegitimization campaigns I have been subject to. I don't think people know how much we feel we have to self-censor when we want to speak our history.
We're expected to accept ever-less land and minimal autonomy in exchange for the simple recognition of our humanity and rights. Living side-by-side with us in equality is unthinkable by those who perceive us only as a security and demographic threat, not human beings.

#THREAD: ๐ŸงตCheck 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/newsโ€ฆ But how does it work?๐Ÿค”

Google & Facebook offer "free" services to billions of people. But instead of asking them to pay a fee๐Ÿ’ฐ people pay for access to their services with their intimate personal information - their likes ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ, dislikes ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฝ, interests, fears, ๐Ÿฅบ 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.๐ŸŽฏ
