Reporting, reposting, demanding accountability, and financial help is greatly appreciated...

Wikipedia is a barrier to women part zillion. (It’s crucial for so many things that this matters an enormous amount).

Since sex work is widely criminalized, most sex workers are denied access to the benefits and rights afforded to other workers under labour laws and face the risk of criminalization, detention, deportation and legal sanction.Let's unite to fight for the rights of sexworkers.

Even if based on 'consent', many will people sell away their financial transaction data for tiny incentives, or they will just have to agree to get access.
Put differently, is creating a market for financial data the right solution? If at all, then it requires strong safeguards.

" Conclusions: AI techniques can produce a free, non-invasive, real-time, any-time, instantly distributable, large-scale COVID-19 asymptomatic screening tool to augment current approaches in containing the spread of COVID-19."

Think you're asymptomatic? Cough into a phone, and this AI can listen to your voice to detect if you have Covid-19.
Scientists hope to turn the app into an FDA-approved prescreening tool.

Many of my Black friends and I have gotten messages from white colleagues asking about our well being and how they can help. Rather than burden us with your guilt, invite us to co-author papers and grants with you. Invite us to be on the symposium or be the guest speaker.
