@africacenter 3/3 But this is insufficient as the ONLY media which reaches everyone in the northeast at least, is radio. Social media reaches only those with money for data, and a network which excludes most of the northeast. Networked radio (shortwave and FM) such as Radio Ndarason reaches everyone. There is no other option.
@africacenter 2/3 One of the key issues is mentioned in the your paper (https://africacenter.org/spotlight/delivering-on-nigerians-demands-for-security/) is 'building trust', but no suggestions are put forward as to how this should be achieved beyond, 'By actively engaging with citizens through regular public addresses, town hall meetings, and social media platforms, the administration can foster an environment of open dialogue, allowing for feedback, concerns, and suggestions from the public.'
Ariadne"Ten years ago, Edward Snowden warned us about state spying. Spare a thought for him, and worry about the future
(Alan Rusbridger - Guardian)
"Even now the British government, in hastily revising the laws around official secrecy, is trying to ensure that any editor who behaved as I did 10 years ago would face up to 14 years in prison. Lamentably, the Labour party is not joining a cross-party coalition that would allow whistleblowers and journalists the right to mount a public interest defence.
So do not hold your breath for future Edward Snowdens in this country. The British media is, by and large, not known for holding its security services rigorously to account, if at all."

elliot 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈The #Bible has been removed from libraries in Utah after a parent used a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic".
The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227.
A GOP lawmaker expressed "sadness" regarding the situation.

Mark Holtom (aka Kingbeard)Following the Dunblane school massacre in 1996, there was an immediate call for a ban on handguns, and people handed them in at police stations across the UK.
At the time a certain journalist opposed the ban.
That journalist was our previous Prime Minister - Bunter Johnson.
Let's face it. You weren't really surprised were you?
Dr. Damien P. Williams, MagusThere's yet another "AI will kill us all! It poses a risk of extinction!" letter going around, and I just… Y'all i am just so fucking tired.
CAPITALISM poses risk of extinction (climate change, right the fuck now).
WHITE SUPREMACY poses risk of extinction (genocide, eugenics).
HEGEMONY poses risk of extinction (nuclear FUCKING WAR).
And whatever "risk of extinction" "AI" poses, it poses because it is BUILT FROM THOSE EXTREMELY HUMAN VALUES.
Even if you stopped every "AI" project running, RIGHT THIS SECOND, those values would still kill us. And no matter how long you "pause" your "AI" projects, if you don't address those values? Then when you start your "AI" back up? You'll KEEP BUILDING THOSE SAME VALUES IN.
This is not hard. At this point, as much as it pains me to say it, it's not even novel. And yet you're still not fucking getting it.
I'm so goddam tired.
