Platforms are battlegrounds of narrative control in conflict situations.I demonstrate how the intertwinement & asymmetrical application of corporate-government power leads to the necropolitical governance of digital populations @icsjournal tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
I wrote about how people are using mutual aid to directly assist Palestinians. While an alternative to the politics of traditional funding mechanisms, platforms like GoFundMe also raise problems like privacy concerns & discrimination

C4P! We are hosting our annual conference this September 3-4 in Sheffield. The theme is the label of 'terrorism' and the permissibility of violence. Please submit an abstract by 19 July and come take part in the discussion! @MYBISA

This further invites a focus on the ongoing and current settler colonial violence in Gaza which has been described as a plausible genocide by the ICJ.

MIT obtained hi-res satellite images of Saudi’s The Line project, yet, Google Maps doesn’t show images of the latest construction. This raises questions about who gets to access high-res satellite imagery technology. Critically, what else can’t we see? technologyreview.com/2022/12…

The World Cup presents an important opportunity to show solidarity with LGBT+ Qataris — but if western activism doesn’t prioritise their safety and well-being, it risks backfiring. I interviewed some experts about how we should go about this, for @Dazed

It’s beyond ridiculous that the US law mandating degradation of satellite imagery in Israel - Palestine has been lifted two years ago but we still have to deal with the same horrendous quality now as back then. You know what I call that? Censorship.
