Authorities in Nepal imposed a sweeping ban on 26 social media platforms, from WhatsApp to YouTube, and violently suppressed youth-led protests against it. Multiple protestors were killed, and hundreds were left injured. This cannot be normalized. Read more: www.accessnow.org/press-releas...

I miss the good old days when Everything Everything was sooo silly and innovative for using AI to write song lyrics for Raw Data Feel. Come back 2022 you are so missed </3

Lol Nicaragua in a nutshell

Some few pictures I have from #Rightscon2025 ✨✅

Hay un presidente autoritario coqueteando con el crimen organizado y al progresismo tico le parece más relevante pelearse en redes sociales entre sí. Esta región verdaderamente no tiene cura, jaja.

To whoever put this flight delay/cancelation curse on me… please, I surrender! Just tell me what you want!!!! I CANNOT HANDLE IT ANYMORE

Si llaman “gentrificación” a cualquier actividad hecha por un extranjero en Costa Rica, nada es gentrificación. Una vez más el activismo de redes está alimentando la gasolina xenofobica que termina afectando a las comunidades más vulnerables.

El arte de Gu Da Cei nos recuerda que la distopía de la vigilancia masiva YA es real. Más vigilancia no es más seguridad, es más control. Lee más sobre las piezas artísticas en colaboración con Tire Meu Rosto Da Sua Mira y el Manual del Pequeñx Vigiladx ⬇️ www.accessnow.org/manual-del-p...

If it wasn’t already clear, the LA fires are a harsh reminder that the climate crisis doesn't discriminate—wealth won't protect you. We must take action now. We must hold our leaders accountable NOW.

In more important news… HAVE YALL REGISTERED TO RIGHTSCON 2025? It’s gonna be lit!!! We are sooOoOo back! www.rightscon.org/program/

Qué envidia ser hombre, uno puede tener relaciones impropias con niñas de 17 años y años después te hacen director de un medio de comunicación. Lol.

Acabo de ver el corto sobre gentrificación que lanzó Bad Bunny y estoy:

Acabo de hacer un maratón de cine con How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies / Megalopolis Y qué bien que lo hice, porque si no hubiera visto el fire dumpster que es Megalopolis ahorita estaría de camino a la frontera para abrazar a mi abuelita. Me acuerdo y mqm

¡Tenemos nuevo informe disponible para cerrar el año!  "Privacidad en desplazamiento migratorio" analiza los riesgos de la vigilancia y la vulneración de datos personales de personas migrantes en albergues de México. Un trabajo de la Coalición #MigrarSinVigilancia www.accessnow.org/privacidad-e...

Como persona en condición de tener un tocadiscos™️ puedo confirmar que si algo sabe hacer Taylor Swift es producir GRANDES vinilos.

I’ve tried to shorten my name from “Yamlek” to “Yam” (adding “just like the vegetable” to it) basically bc its a complicated name in 90% of the places I’ve lived. And still ppl manage to f it up somehow, suddenly I’m Jan or Janny. WHEN DOES IT END 😭

Espero que lxs periodistas entiendan que no están innovando cuando usan ChatGPT para escribir una nota. Nadie lee un articulo mal hecho o/y mal editado por IA y piensa: "Wow, esto sí es el futuro del periodismo y las nuevas tecnologías”. BASTA.

I want to be a 365 party girl but im more of a 247 sleepy girly

😌😌😌 Having a new social media means another opportunity to block these propagandist-crimes against humanity deniers from my feed 😌😌😌

Porque es en efecto un paraíso de impunidad para agresores sexuales, particularmente en zonas turísticas costeras. Esto no es nuevo para nadie en las costas. Hope that helps! vozdeguanacaste.com/denuncias-vi...

Tal vez esto es parte de crecer™️, y de fijo es un problema del primer mundo, pero no puedo evitar sentir una profunda tristeza al ver cómo la gentrificación en Costa Rica ha transformado y encarecido estadías que visité hace unos años en Guanacaste, volviéndolos prácticamente inaccesibles.

I cannot stop laughing at the fact that Lula is even smiling with Modi and Meloni but he strictly draws the line with Milei’s cringefest 😭 plz never change my boi

A year ago, Meta’s “pay or consent” model tried to snatch people’s right to data protection. This model is now widespread. Access Now’s new report presents recommendations for the EU to address this incompatibility between tech and human rights ⬇️ www.accessnow.org/press-releas...

Me temo que esta red social solo va a funcionar cuando lxs creadores de memes brasileñxs, argentinxs y mexicanxs decidan venir 🙂‍↕️

Maybe my favorite music genre is the one lip-synced in RuPaul’s Drag Race.
