We know that @Google used their Street View cars to steal data from people's WiFi. Now they want to acquire millions of people's #health data with @fitbit.
Let's stop this → Sign @privacyint's petition asking the @EU_Commission to block the merger. 👇🏼
Swedish data protection authority @Datainspektion bans video #surveillance in apartment building stairwell & entrance:
📸 No current justification for video
🎤 Audio surveillance at home = #privacy intrusion
🙅🏽♀️ No informed consent or details communicated

We have launched a petition to ask @vestager to block Google’s greedy plan to buy @Fitbit. Time to send a strong message that our precious health data should not be big tech's next toy to exploit us.

#Privacy is a right for everyone, not just a privilege for the rich.
@e_mydata sells affordable, #sustainable, privacy-first smartphones. I just ordered a @Fairphone FP3 with #eOS pre-installed 😃. #unGoogle #SurveillanceCapitalism
As offices partially open, distance bias can alienate team members still working remotely. @sachaconnor gives 5 concrete tips for managers, leads, and team members to maximize location inclusion at work. 👩🏽💻
Is there a word, similar to schadenfreude, that represents the delightful satisfaction from interacting with something that’s well designed & well crafted?

Violations of privacy can become a gateway to violations of other rights and freedoms. Covid-19 measures have and will have an impact on broad spectrum of our rights.
Great to have the opportunity to discuss this with the class!

The world often confuses me, but #SystemsThinking helps me wrap my head around stuff. @designorate gives us this simple, clear explanation of how it works - with pictures! 😉
“If you wish the world to become loving and compassionate, become loving and compassionate yourself. If you wish to diminish fear in the world, diminish your own. These are the gifts you can give.”

A team of Egyptian high school students are creating a portable cardiopulmonary respirator made of normal products that all cost $95!
It's called COVID Kit, & they need @java / @arduino developers. Is that you? 😃
#HackTheVirus @TIEC_Egypt @UNTILabs 😷
This one got delightfully out of hand! From being your #authentic self to using rumble language to create a safe space, @PurposeDesigner & I get personal in our first video episode of @shotsofpurpose 🎥🎙️
"Good design is as little #design as possible."
My wife @hesterbruikman & I thoroughly enjoyed @gary_hustwit's documentary on Dieter Rams. His "less but better" philosophy and 10 principles of good design inspire me deeply. Thank you! 🙏🏼

@aral Also, are we naive enought o assume that once the pandemic is under control the API is going to be deleted from the Android/Google Play Services or iOS? There’s a lot of talk of adding it, but no talks of when or if it’s going to have an expiry date.
The best #podcast I've heard in a while! @TEDRadioHour with the wonderful @manoushz on creating new, sustainable socio-economic order.
Ideas from @KateRaworth, @NicolaSturgeon, & more for how to make what my friend @AaloakJaswal calls "noble impact"🎙
This might be the coolest thing I've seen in a long time: Maddy Holmberg is teaching #EthicalDesign to high schoolers in a mature yet fun way.
Here's her online project description, and I wish every design school had a program like this 🧑🎓
Humanity in the Time of Corona, my first online event keynote 👨🏻💻, discusses how we can innovate from a place of love rather than fear.
Video now included, also with captions.
