Liberal feminist and always resist fascism
SwatiThe idea that leaving Twitter for other alternatives is akin to quitting a battle is erroneous. We don't sign up on SM platforms to fight. We don't HAVE to deal with trolls and bigots unleashed on us by a system that is designed to profit off of this interaction. Our FoE includes the right to engage on our own terms.
So stay if you wish to. Leave if you wish to. No value judgment attached to either. It's a goddamn social media profile!
Gautam BhatiaIn light of the Pegasus/WhatsApp surveillance scandal, a piece on how India must reform its surveillance architecture - and how a recent Bombay High Court judgment shows the way.
The Bombay High Court basically held: (a) surveillance is illegal except in a public emergency or for public safety, (2) evidence obtained through surveillance cannot be used in court, and (3) material obtained through surveillance must be destroyed. All three very important findings.

Manimugdha SharmaMy god! This Holocaust survivor has been receiving death threats! Fascists are rearing their ugly heads all over the world again. All anti-fascist forces need to unite before the horrors of the past revisit us. Remember, no Red Army is coming to the rescue from across the Oder this time. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50329597

As a media researcher, I find it amazing how new digital platforms have been shaped by a crisis of credibility. Birdsite really exploded after the Radia Tapes and its subsequent blackout by mainstream media. A crisis in the credibility of Twitter foced us to switch to Mastodon. This is important in itself because a lot of people thought that Twitter and Facebook have become the final pillers of social media and are no longer replaceable.

The case of Sanjay Hegde is a turning point, making it clear that Twitter is aligning with authoritarian regimes that target dissenters.
