Digital attacks on civil society are growing more sophisticated — and we need to face them together.
Tomorrow, March 10 at 9 AM ET / 2 PM CET, join us for the launch of "Safe and Strong", a new webinar series on digital resilience.
Our first session tackles spear phishing — highly targeted attacks that can fool even experienced professionals, putting journalists, activists, and civil society organizations at risk.

"As automated decision systems (ADS) get more deeply embedded into business processes worldwide, there is a growing need for practical ways to establish meaningful transparency. Here we argue that universally perfect transparency is impossible to achieve. We introduce the concept of contextual transparency as an approach that integrates social science, engineering and information design to help improve ADS transparency"
An increasing number of regulations demand transparency in automated decision-making processes such as in automated online recruitment. To provide meaningful transparency, Sloane et al. propose the use of ‘nutritional’ labels that display specific information about an automated decision system, depending on the context.

I enter the last stretch of paternity leave, but I won't rejoin my role as global digital specialist for operations at NRC when is over. I resigned for personal, professional, and ethical reasons. Very soon I will share a reflection on my journey, and one on tech for our sector.
Ps: Also, I'm now mostly based in France. If you're passing by, ping me!
The carbon footprint of NFTs on Ethereum wasn’t looking great before The Merge, but it was nothing compared to on-chain Bitcoin NFTs
Yesterday Bitcoin mining company Luxor mined the largest block ever, containing almost exactly 4MB of data. Only 63 transactions could fit into the block, as the NFT used up the rest of the available space
The carbon footprint: ~888 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the per passenger carbon footprint of taking a flight from New York to Tokyo and back - 466 times
