I was lucky enough to meet the legend that is Judy Estrin @jlabsllc in Palo Alto this summer. She was a pioneer in the development of the Internet at its earliest stages. Do read her fascinating essay on how unregulated AI is poisoning our world codastory.com/disinformation…

A town in northern Albania has lost half of its residents since the fall of communism. On TikTok, smugglers advertise cheap passage, and open a window into what life might be like in Britain. @isocockerell reports, in partnership with @1843mag. codastory.com/authoritarian-…

I've written about why philanthropy needs to step up and start really investing in civil society's capacity to deal with the impacts of tech on society alliancemagazine.org/blog/ph…

A must read for every philanthropist concerned about the way Big Tech is changing our lives.
Loved this: "And we need storytellers who can reshape the narrative that we’ve allowed the tech industry to own for too long." At @CodaStory we're on it.

Let elections not fully distract us from the fact that Nigeria’s on the verge of losing 1/3 of its foreign reserves - 11 billion $$ - to an Irish company with no staff and no website.
In my latest for @CodaStory, I looked at the case with @FrankieVetch.

A BBC documentary about India that you otherwise wouldn’t have heard of is making global headlines. In a revealing act of censorship, India's government blocked “India: The Modi Question” and went after those who shared links to clips from the film.

Imagine a place where what you write on Facebook brings military officers to your door. There are a few countries that might spring to mind. Is Thailand on your list? Episode 4 of Undercurrents tells you why it should be.
