Since two days ago, ~90M in #Iran have been cut off from the world—but not silenced.
They are bravely standing for life and liberty as a still-ruling dictatorship commits crimes against humanity behind a total blackout.
Be their voice.

I believe that basing our understanding of "others" solely on knowing their "life story" is a form of #subtle_bias. Where someone comes from and what they have experienced does not necessarily indicate who they "are" in the present or who they "can become" in the future.
We still have a few spots left.

Digital humanism in practice - How is AI implemented ethically? How is value-based engineering rolled out with ISO/IEEE 24748-7000?

Anticipating wisdom and commitment to human rights from those in power in the Middle East is misguided. Aligning with any of them is even more so. Champion only the cause of human rights and peace, no matter the side!
Looking forward to @xotoxot talk on “Privacy is Hard and Some other Myths: Achieving Privacy through Careful Design”, today at 12:00. If you like to join us online, drop me a message…

#MohammadGhobadloo’s death sentence hangs in the balance. Every hour that passes increases the risk of his execution. The prisoners of this Revolution are our heroes.Wherever we are— in whatever way we can, we must be the voice for him & his despondent family.He deserves to live.
Message to the @England football team at the #WorldCup for the game v Islamic Republic of Iran 🇮🇷 on Monday. We think it would be amazing if you did this. It would mean more than you could ever imagine.
What would you do if a 'White' journalist was reporting on #BlackLivesMatter, but the 'Black' people would tell you that s/he is biased and has a conflict of interests? Would you defend the White person's freedom of speech or try to enable unbiased voices of the "people"? /1
Many media (e.g., @nytimes / @deanbaquet) and political parties have decided to defend the freedom of speech of the Islamic regime's lobbyists while covering or dealing with the #IranRevolution2022. Be/hear the Iranian people's voice, not the voice of the dictators!
