BREAKING 🇵🇸 Israeli regime forces have stormed Birzeit University campus in the Occupied West Bank, injuring 41 students, including 9 with live bullets.

It seems that European leaders care about sovereignty when it is in their continent, but not in the case of Venezuela. Global North double standards.

Petro diz que 'pegará em armas' diante de ameaças de Trump

O ataque à Venezuela é, como nos demais casos, sobre ganhos econômicos pra potência imperialista que o praticou.

A parte da história que a mídia convencional insiste em deixar de lado. Algumas vidas valem mais do que outras.

Extremely concerning and this shows again the need for strong AI regulations.

Deputada aponta postagens motivadas por ação dos EUA na Venezuela. Clique na imagem para ver 👇 iclnoticias.com.br/deputada-aci...

Trump is extremely explicit that the US will illegally invade and take over the country to administer the oil industry. So it has nothing to do with suing and taking legal action against Maduro (which is also highly illegal). This is surreal.

This is the "Peace Nobel Prize" winner.

Não, não deixa. Tem linha sucessória. E a grande mídia toda normalizando como se coubesse a Trump definir o que vai acontecer na Venezuela.

It is not about drugs, it is about Venezuela's oil. This is so clear that Hernandez's pardon was not even questioned. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

Unacceptable attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president. The US is violating international law and advancing against Latin American democracies. The international community needs to stand against this.

ChatGPT makes users stupider (or increases cognitive debt, in a polite way of saying this). www.media.mit.edu/publications...

Uma decisão extremamente importante. As práticas antic-competitivas do Google são bastante problemáticas e é bom ver como as punições têm avançado, mesmo que lentamente. Discuti várias delas no meu doutorado que depois virou o livro "das plataformas online aos monopólios digitais".

The UN's WGBHR group released the "Report on Artificial intelligence procurement and deployment: ensuring alignment with the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights". I am glad to see our contribution from the Fairwork Project mentioned twice in the document. www.ohchr.org/en/documents...

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

What does OpenAI and Sam Altman's "Gentle Singularity" look like in practice? Great rundown from @bcmerchant.bsky.social: • Fund raising from Saudi Arabia and UAE • Major partnerships with US military • Working with fossil fuel companies to hyperscale AI www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/this-is-th...

Fantastic news from the International Labour Organization (ILO). Congrats on all unions, governments and civil society organizations pushing for this landmark achievement. www.hrw.org/news/2025/06...

IA sem regulação é isso: cidadãos vulneráveis a todo tipo de abuso e golpe.

🏹 SENADO CONTRA INDÍGENAS O Senado aprovou um projeto que suspende três decretos de Lula que homologavam terras indígenas em SC. A decisão ainda segue para a Câmara, mas já gerou forte reação de indígenas e juristas que defendem os direitos constitucionais dos povos originários.

Congresso a serviço dos empresários contra o povo brasileiro. Dificultam a arrecadação taxando os mais ricos e depois impõem cortes às políticas sociais do governo alegando "rigor fiscal".

Do you use GenAI to summarise research pieces? So it is worth seeing this vital paper. LLMs are up to 5 times less accurate in summarising scientific research than human reviews. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10....

I am thrilled to share the new Fairwork Cloudwork report I led. We assessed 16 online remote work platforms globally against five principles of fair work. Come and see who performed best and who is failing workers.

Great piece from HR Review highlighting a new report from @towardsfairwork.bsky.social exposing corporate failure to provide adequate worker protections in Cloudwork economy. Article includes comment from @geoplace.bsky.social and @jonasvalente.bsky.social @oii.ox.ac.uk. Story here: bit.ly/45hbFTh

Jonas Valente and I have just published a new @lbc.co.uk opinion piece, drawing on our @towardsfairwork.bsky.social cloudwork study to warn that a UK–EU youth mobility scheme could inadvertently funnel young people into exploitative gig roles: www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view... @jonasvalente.bsky.social

Amazing work by the @aoir.bsky.social.

Betar would have the US deport Mosab Abu Toha, who just won the Pulitzer Prize, for his speech defending the freedom and life of his own people - and chronicling Israel’s destruction of Gaza. He has had to retreat from public life for his own safety. This is Trump’s US.

New report launch alert!

Um dia de Sul, IA e muitas mentes pensantes 🧠💡 Global Southing Internet, Data and AI Studies Workshop parte do @oii.ox.ac.uk na @ox.ac.uk coordenado por @jonasvalente.bsky.social

spent the last two days at the 'Global Southing Internet, Data, and AI Studies Workshop', organised by @jonasvalente.bsky.social at the Oxford Internet Institute - so many brilliant papers and generative conversations - and enjoyed presenting my own research on Nigeria

Brazilian delivery workers stopped working for two days to demand better working conditions. This was a historical protest, but even with over 100 cities involved, delivery platforms refused to negotiate. Please see the strike organisation movement statement as follows.

Hamdan Ballal, Academy Award winning co-director of No Other Land, has reportedly been kidnapped and imprisoned by the IDF

On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will host a fantastic event at the Oxford Internet Institute to highlight theories, approaches, and methods from Global South countries related to the Internet, data, and AI. www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/...

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to represent @towardsfairwork.bsky.social teams and present our discussions about the challenges to cloudworkers during the EU Platform Work Directive transposition process at the @etui.bsky.social Future of Work Conference.

And Trump keeps atacking corporate regulation.
