Diversion from my norm to share something more personal: 20 years ago I worked on the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology (HART) Act to make sure those conceived in Aotearoa in the future were not left without any record of their biological parent/s & whakapapa as I was. A 🧵 In 2021, I co-founded @DCAotearoa with a small but mighty group of courageous, tireless, & inspiring donor-conceived people: donorconceivedaotearoa.co.nz/about cc @SoniaAllan @tiffgard @alixpiatek

As of today, I’m a tenured Professor of Law (same day as @LeahLitman!). I can readily imagine myself in a different life – the one that I was on track for with a 10th grade education, unsafe living conditions, insecure minimum wage work. So, a few reflections. First, I grew up in a wealthy nation, I’m white, cis-gender, a quick study. I had control over none of these things. Yet they've meant I haven’t faced barriers that others face when trying to move from basic survival to a life I love.

My legal scholarship rarely coincides with a news cycle. So working on my latest revision of Platform-Enabled Crimes as the #FacebookFiles dropped has been surreal: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… @jeffhorowitz @amnestytech @keachhagey @lpolgreen Buckle up for a long thread (1/24) Platform-Enabled Crimes: “Each day, across the globe, the corporations that run these platforms execute policies and practices that serve their profit model, typically by sustaining user engagement.”(2/24)

This is a really important piece "These videos are filmed in pursuit of justice, and with the knowledge that, as documentors of a racist crime, they face retribution as well."

I'm really grateful to be able to enroll my kids in a public school. I'm also grateful that @dcpublicschools are providing virtual summer programming. None of what follows is a criticism of @dcpublicschools but a recognition of how many pieces of community-wide support need to come together for all of us to make the "new normal" sustainable.

Fair warning: Here comes a long thread on scholarship front I should have done ages ago, but Covid-homeschooling-with-4-kids-not-so-much-with-the-free-time: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Thrilled to share - Harvard ILJ will publish Governing the Global Public Square. Drawing on interviews, civsoc docs, @twitter @facebook transparency data I bring stories from the Global South into the predominant U.S. legal understanding of social media platform governance.

This is an important read: 1/ The well- worn lesson- that early warning is rarely the problem, the problem is translating that information into action - applies even when you have impressive tech tools supporting your early warning efforts, is worth remaining cognizant of... ... especially in the midst of what feels like a relentless march toward funding for digital documentation of atrocities. 2/ Refreshing to see the complex ethical challenges of this technology being proactively considered by those who are using it for good.....

THREAD: To the thousands who rallied around #SaveDarfur then turned to other issues in subsequent years, now is the time to turn your attention back to Sudan. #SaveDarfur peaked at a time when the USG had the little leverage to really turn the tide on the ground. But today, USG policies can be a game-changer. The situation is incredibly precarious. Success is not assured. Spoilers abound.
