Thread by @EinsteinsAttic

Those of you who know my work on #privacy, #identity, and #HumanRights in #data these past 18 years - mostly through @NO2ID & @medConfidential, and in other areas besides - won't be surprised at my involvement in @WEDF_foundation.

This [Thread] is an invitation to join us...

...and help define what I believe is one of the most crucial discussions of our time; on the #personal, #civil, #political and #planetary consequences of the #world(s) we are building - and the #values we want to underpin them.

I spoke at last year's @WEDF_forum about '#Engineering for #Ethics', just a couple of months before the #GPDPR #GPdataGrab was announced in May.

My talk was an attempt to reflect on and draw lessons from my years of campaigning and work around #data...

...but that was just one of a number of topics covered by an array of fantastic speakers and doers.

This year's #WEDF2022 Forum promises even more. And working with partners like @matrixdotorg, who have generously donated us an instance of @element_hq, we've begun building...

...what we hope will become much more than a #conference; a year-round #CivilDiscourseSpace, if you will.

As with all things worth building, we're taking things a step at a time - collaborating with others who share our vision, 'eating our own dog food', and learning as we go...

The #Forum is just the first initiative of @WEDF_foundation; others will be announced in due course.

(Journalist friends who'd like to know more should reach out to @_jdmarshall, though he's quite busy this week!)

So please come join us from this Wednesday, October 26th...

Registration for #WEDF2022 (free, no paywalls - thanks to the generosity of our Sponsors) is now open, and you can sign up here:

For the first time, this year the #Forum has a #LATAM track, in Spanish and Portuguese, as well as over 150 great speakers - including several heroes and heroines of mine, and colleagues I'm also honoured to call friends...

And the discussions we'll be having later this week, on the #agenda:

Of course, the richness of any #Forum comes from the #exchange of ideas and views from those who #participate, so I do hope you will join us 👇

See you there!
