detention in Xinjiang was determined in large part by algorithmic analysis of so-called 'terrorist' networks that could result in you going to a camp because you went to the same mosque as a guy who took lectures from a folklorist.

#China’s new “ethnic unity” law, to be passed this week, will accelerate the attempted forced assimilation of the country’s ethnic minorities into the dominant Han culture, according to academics and human rights groups. A piece by me: CLICK LINK TO READ www.bbc.com/news/article...

minorities. but what matters is not who we are, but what we do with the position we occupy. and we can do many things. as higher education workers, we teach, we research, we write. scholarship matters because *they know* it

A key component of cyber media-savvy is asking: Does the person making a claim have the visibility to know this? And that should fall on the reporter, not the audience. Like Microsoft sees cybers because they run Windows, Google because everybody uses them, US agencies because they're everywhere.

Here is the upcoming events🧵for the week! Today is International Women's day In the struggles of the #MilkTeaAlliance we see women whose leadership, passion, strength are foundational. They have sacrificed much & often have to fight against misogyny within movements too We owe them everything 1/

On #InternationalWomensDay, let us remember all women lawyers in Asia who work on human rights. #ChowHangtung, a Hong Kong barrister and a former vice-person of the Hong Kong Alliance that organized the annual candlelight vigil to commemorate June 4 crackdown is still detained.

"One clause says that only the state has the right to promote “a system of symbols of Chinese civilisation”" civilisational discourse in action: as I've been saying, it's about claiming difference internationally and erasing difference internally.

CDT Quote of the Week: chinadigitaltimes.net/2026/02/tran...

if u’ve been around long enough and have been in money-moving convos u could read between the lines but more often than not the whole “we are laying ppl off cuz of AI” tears a new wave of panic and storytelling by traditional media and its audience and employees who buy more into surface narratives

it’s been how many years since we started hearing the rhetoric “we are laying ppl off bc AI has rendered these human employees useless” when the actual reasons are a myriad of “we over hired” “we are making decisions based on some new trendy stats””all my frds r doing it” etc

At 3 pm EST, we will have a committee of the whole Q&A session with Anton Boegman, who has been named to become Canada's first foreign influence transparency commissioners. (This is sort of like a Senate confirmation hearing, but rather less partisan than the American variety.) #ForeignInterference

It also does not mean letting AI companies off the hook for surveillance they rapaciously do on their own. In fact, I think the AI industry would love to be able to say "the government is legally mandating we surveil and report on you". It gives them cover to do what they already want to do anyway.

It comes down to this: 1. AI companies engage in mass surveillance. 2. Law enforcement agencies (LEA) also engage in mass surveillance. 3. Those are 2 DIFFERENT categories of surveillance, and there is a legal barrier between them, ie constitutional law. 4. We CANNOT let that barrier get dissolved.

Scathing post, deleted from WeChat, arguing that the robots produced by China’s economic machine get treated better than the humans who fuel it. "Every year, the Spring Festival Gala shows you how awesome we are. What they don’t show you is what any of this progress has to do with you."

Companies love claiming that their cloud storage, data analytics, info fusing isn't "surveillance" because it's not "collecting" data. This is not true. Filing cabinets were part of surveillance. Analysts reading and making sense of transcripts from hidden microphones were part of surveillance.

The decision in South Korea today would not be possible without those people helping their MPs to get to the parliament and stop Yoon from declaring martial law. Their fight mustn't be forgotten.

Doesn’t speak Chinese. Doesn’t understand labor in China but is able to draw this conclusion because he’s a streamer and us lowly diaspora people aren’t

The thing that really gets me about all the China glazing westerners who somehow think China is "left" is the ORIENTALISM. It's absolutely oozing from every statement they make and is incredibly alienating

It's incredibly disappointing to see Canadian tech reporters on the left naively brush away the threat of Chinese data collection. For us in the diaspora: both are threats, but the Chinese threat is way more real. The right answer is: the US is trying to do the same things China is already doing

Bare Necessities (Expanded from a 2019 (!?) version) A (not so small) thread on the HK pro-democracy movement's '5 Demands' - what they are, how they've evolved, and ... a bunch of stuff that would interest no one but me. Source: Telegram (Aug 2019)

Niao is at it again (Complementary) This time a big thread on how the 5 demands of the Hong Kong protests developed (They didn't magically appear fully formed) but evolved as the protests progressed. Tis worth a read. Always felt that Niao's threads were some of the best 1st drafts of the history

I don't think the author actually read or understood the stochastic parrots paper

Some good news, for a change. So happy to hear this. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

I don't know why I never thought of disappearing messages in those terms, that it's the normal way to talk, but man that's good. The obsession with logging your every action and interaction isn't just bad opsec, it's unnatural.

every year we gather to remember, because they cannot

I seriously feel for my Hong Kong friends who moved (back) to the US and my American friends in Hong Kong because they now are being subjected to gaslighting by not one but two regimes. (Or three if one sees Hong Kong's and the PRC's as different ones.)

This explains why the HK pro-democracy movement considers those of faith an indispensable part of the host fighting against authoritarianism Source: Telegram (Jun 2019)

There are other ways those of faith in HK were allies. This is a bit weird, so stay with me. There was the idea that theoretically, gathering for religious worship is allowed with fewer restrictions... or maybe Christians just liked showing up to sing hymns Source: Telegram (Aug 2019)

Cardinal Zen (not the guy here) actually got arrested on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces under NSL. His other 'crime' was helping the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund that supported arrested protesters by paying their medical and legal fees.

It’s time to play, “Describe that Video!” This Hour Has 22 Minutes at its most blistering - and prescient. This was posted yesterday. But it couldn’t be more timely. Whether or not you can bear to watch “that” video today, you need to watch this one. #Minneapolis #CBC

Ok, so what does this have to do with 义勇军进行曲? A few years ago a shop painted one of Mao's slogans on its gates. The HK police promptly visited because it felt seditious, Mao or nor Mao. It was quite an episode.
