The 8th Circuit gutted FCC anti-discrimination rules. Now unequal outcomes alone don’t count; only provable intentional bias does. Black and low-income neighborhoods can still get worse internet at higher prices. No written confession of racism = no remedy. #DigitalRedlining

My thoughts are all over the place with this one…

The range of (legit) journals I get ask to review for is so odd.

Good critical but hopeful piece weighing how AI is used against workers and how workers use AI to organize and inform themselves. ht @karengregory.bsky.social poweratwork.us/big-tech-wan...

Thanks to @techpolicypress.bsky.social for publishing our essay on the need for governance of GenAI use in health campaigns aimed at African audiences. It speaks to the larger issue of the necessity of good governance of technology general, but especially AI.
