CNN… do you have any concept of what regular life is like for women in Saudi Arabia?!
In Saudi Arabia there is no way women or boys would even be in the same classroom as men or boys. Education is completely gendered and segregated. At least if you are going to do full features on this don’t ignore the apartheid women in Saudi are living in daily.

Women or girls 🤦‍♀️

I don’t know why experts are surprised top authorities and scientists stopped engaging certain groups. Social media is designed to break us into groups… less mass communication, more node communication. The credible expert looked to will become the one revered within that node.
There are still authorities but there are fewer that are ‘national’ and cross-cutting culture. We are fragmenting culture - for better or worse - so you need to think differently about how groups function and what can be the authoritative source.
Communities matter and aren’t a bad thing during a pandemic. But social media have been enabling the creation of ghettos reinforcing exclusion online. And we need to better understand how to still work collectively toward a common culture with trusted systems.

Most of the debate around AI ethics and #surveillance tends to focus on domestic governance or commercial data of citizens. Little discussion over use in the context of war where bias and error can have massive consequences for both security and innocent human lives.
This is actually quite surprising deficit in contemporary discourse, given surveillance obviously has a LONG tradition of use in national security. There is an assumption by many that such tools are fair game in war but not domestically, this & difficulty of access for research
& concern over domestic applications of AI mean I think that there’s surprisingly little focus on this in recent academic debates except where adversaries of Western democracies are concerned.

The public debate about #disinformation, influence operations and responses… is lacking scrutiny & real debate over rapidly developing defence policies and military responses, esp on ethics. If only public expert discussions got as focused in the weeds on this as on #BigTech.
What discussions do happen seem to be driven my ex-military personnel and very focused on the ‘how to’ of understanding enemies and developing messages and targeting etc… as usual.
People badly need to start to care about this.

It upsets me so much to think that people watched these updates & failed to call a doctor, failed to call an ambulance. Now media share them to the already convinced -do anti-vaxxers even see these? Are they persuaded by the subtle victim shaming, in the face of national tragedy?
It’s exploitative, most of them aren’t framed in a way that they would actually connect with a persuadable leaning anti-vaxxer. I’m sick of seeing them. It feels wrong.
If you’re going to share something like this as a journalist or someone with an influential account the least you should be doing is trying to frame it in such a way that it’s a compassionate appeal to convince that audience. Few are.
