Had to go through a "#security" training for a new #nonprofit client, and all I could think was - you call this secure? Are these really your "#bestpractices"? Is this how nonprofits operate? Why are you really using all these #bigtech platforms?As an individual, I have better #privacy & #data management systems than they do.

Occasionally I run Americans saying into "#America was a colony too" in way as if that gives them some form solidarity with colonized around the world?It's so ignorant on so many levels. Moreover, For #NativeAmericans, the transition from "#British" to "American" subjects was, arguably worse and led to a even more horrific new phase in #genocidal #colonialism, as one of the drivers of the #American revolution was a desire to further expand and colonize the #west.

The last few days, #Slack, which I only use via a browser, keeps asking for video and audio permission, even though I'm not joining a call or using their audio feature.Is slack trying to steal my #data and I'm only noticing because I monitor and track all such requests due to #privacy concerns? Makes me wonder how many people gave permission without thinking, especially if they use the app, which I imagine harvests a lot of data.

Interesting findings on the #sustainability backlash, but the choice to include #Turkey as Asia-Pacific and not either #MiddleEast or #Europe is...quite a choice.Also, more than half the world, by population, is in Asia-Pacific - makes it kind of a useless category to make any conclusions.
