Hell yeah, that’s @unclejigi@twitter.com making waves and calling out the Nigerian government that has gone too far by banning services like Twitter — chilling, dystopian stuff in the 21st century

RT @sfliberty@twitter.com

"We do not want to live under a tyrannical government that bans Twitter at a whim. We don't want to live in a country where the police brutalizes us," said Olumayowa Okediran, SFL's Director of Programs.

Reject qualified immunity. Get this officer to jail immediately.

A cop flipped over a pregnant woman's car because she didn't pull over quick enough.

Not only is what she did not wrong, it's what you're supposed to do: turning on hazards to indicate you're complying and pulling over at the next safe place to do so...

This man is still a cop.

Activism done right. Flavors matter. Harm reduction works.

We cannot cede the important public health victories that vaping has provided us.

Folks who were navel-gazing on the COVID vaccine IP waiver wanted to make sure middle and low-income countries didn't get left out. These actions are more powerful and effective than completely dismantling vital intellectual property protections and forced tech transfer

This is way better than waiving IP rights on vaccines. Big step forward #vaccines https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-to-donate-500-million-covid-19-vaccine-doses-to-lower-income-countries-11623263573

all the more reason for smart consumer privacy laws

TikTok's US privacy policy now says the app may collect biometric identifiers like faceprints or voiceprints from its users' content, and will ask for permission where required by law. One problem? Only a few US states have biometric privacy laws today. https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/03/tiktok-just-gave-itself-permission-to-collect-biometric-data-on-u-s-users-including-faceprints-and-voiceprints/
