@cassidypyle.bsky.social and I have a recent #CSCW2025 paper in which we show just how far applicants' experiences and perspectives are from what these services and supporters claim. Open access here: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

“We reached out to Meta and came to the conclusion that almost none of the content that was reported to us actually violated their community standards,” EFF’s Lisa Femia told Medical Marketing + Media Magazine of our #StopCensoringAbortion project. www.mmm-online.com/news/meta-c...

As age verification laws proliferate around the world, people have predictably turned to VPNs to protect their privacy. Instead of taking this as a sign that surveillance isn't popular, lawmakers have decided they might as well ban VPNs altogether. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Preprint w/ (rapid) analysis of Grokipedia, showing it to be “highly derivative of Wikipedia”, but differing, often on controversial topics, in that Grokipedia includes content/cites from low quality (hyper partisan & conspiracy laden) sources like Stormfront & Infowars. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.09685

"The questions people ask chatbots can reveal exceptionally sensitive information" about things like their health, finances, and relationships, EFF’s Lena Cohen told @pcmag.com. “People deserve meaningful control over who can access these AI prompts.”

Heading to Edinburgh next week for this exciting event on 🤖🏳️‍⚧️Gender and the Machine🧟‍♀️🧑‍💻, where @naz-andalibi.bsky.social and I will be talking about our research! Thanks to @sj-bennett.bsky.social and @kevinguyan.bsky.social for organizing! Register here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gender-and...

No kidding

“Let’s see just how much pain you can endure, and then some more” is a common lived experience of women’s bodies. It’s “normal,” don’t worry.

DOGE and others in the administration want to build a giant database of records by haphazardly combining info the government collected for one purpose, like paying taxes, and use it for another purpose, like targeting immigrants. We can't let this happen. takebackctrl.org/get-a-warrant

Really looking forward to this upcoming @aies-edinburgh.bsky.social event, where the great @naz-andalibi.bsky.social and @haimson.bsky.social will be talking about emotion, gender, marginalisation and AI 🤩 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gender-and...

“When people understand that Flock data can be used to track them exercising reproductive freedom or to facilitate federal immigration enforcement, the calculus around ‘public safety’ technology changes entirely,” EFF’s @tsnvaa.bsky.social told @ArsTechnica.com. arstechnica.com/tech-policy...

🗣️ Featuring talks by @haimson.bsky.social and @naz-andalibi.bsky.social, plus a panel discussion and networking reception. Co-organised by the Gender + Sexuality Data Lab and @aies-edinburgh.bsky.social, supported by @edfuturesinstitute.bsky.social. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gender-and...

“The advertising industry has created a massive surveillance machine that can be co-opted by law enforcement, bad actors and anyone willing to pay,” EFF’s Lena Cohen told @AZMirror.com. azmirror.com/2025/10/29/...

A DHS warrant seeking ChatGPT user prompts “means it’s more important than ever for OpenAI and other AI companies to think about how to limit the amount of data they collect on their users,” EFF’s @jenlynch.bsky.social told @Forbes.com. www.forbes.com/sites/thoma...

Grateful for an amazing #CSCW2025 and especially @vitak.bsky.social and @fpinatti.bsky.social, and my co chair @myrlewko.bsky.social. My highlights were serving as a mentor for the doctoral consortium organized by @eagapie.bsky.social and Nervo Verdezoto. And also the lasting impact award session 💙

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

You gotta watch out when @cfiesler.bsky.social organizes an ethics workshop at CSCW - you just might meet your future spouse there! Happened to me and @naz-andalibi.bsky.social 10 years ago 🥰 #CSCW2025 #CSCW2015

Technology like Flock and Ring doesn’t make people safer, it just subjects them to a round-the-clock warrantless digital dragnet. “Privacy isn’t dangerous, but giving privacy up for a false sense of security is very dangerous,” EFF’s Jennifer Pinsof told @CNBC.com. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/...

"I don't have anything to hide why should I care about privacy?"

Flock is preparing to roll out a new feature: Its gunshot detection devices will begin listening for voices in “distress”

Despite not violating Meta's Community Standards, organic, educational abortion content is still getting removed. Meta must be more accurate and consistent in the enforcement of their guidelines instead of singling out content about abortion. www.eff.org/pages/silen...

The removal of educational abortion content from Meta platforms with little transparency or communication with users is unacceptable. Read the story of the Miscarriage and Abortion Hotline’s censorship on Instagram in the latest installment of our #StopCensoringAbortion blog series.

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?

Texas cops tried to find an abortion patient by using data from an automatic license plate reader (ALPR), which gave them access to over 83,000 cameras across the country. The dystopian future feminists have been warning about is already here. www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...
