Wondering what #DigitalDemocracy in #Africa looks like? In a special issue I co-edited with @Fromagehomme we gathered different perspectives. Right on time for #FIFAfrica20
LAUNCH! The Decoding #DigitalDemocracy in Africa special issue of blogs and analysis launches today! Brilliant insights from cutting-edge researchers, sharing their findings in many cases pre-publication. How is digital tech changing the continent? 1/7 democracyinafrica.org/decodi…

Have questions about the political ads you're seeing on social media? So do we. Check out what we found below!
New policy post: EIP evaluates the transparency in platform political advertising policies, including review standards and advertising libraries. In many cases, we find platform policies are insufficient to address the public need for transparency. 🧵1/

Aw thanks so much @OxfordMediaLaw ! I learned so much while I was there. It’s always sad to leave good people when you move on. Can’t wait to see what the programme does next!
A fond farewell to our wonderful ConflictNET postdoc @ermarchant - who is setting off (back to the U.S.) for new adventures in anthropology, media, innovation, and methods! It’s been a delight having her on our PCMLP team 🎉

Thanks @OxfordCSLS and @OxfordMediaLaw for being my home for the last two years! À bientôt is even better than au revoir :-)
Not goodbye, just au revoir 👋 to postdoc @ermarchant! Best wishes for your next adventure!
Was so pleased to be a part of this. Thanks for having me on the panel! Everyone should check out @ICRC ‘s new data protection handbook, especially the section on connectivity as aid, but I’m a tad biased ;-)
Two weeks ago we hosted a rich conversation on the critical need of #data protection in #humanitarian action

Hey Twitter! I'm looking for a syllabus or collection of readings/books on instances of tech companies running projects or interventions in developing countries. I'm looking to do a directed reading around the subject this fall. Thank you!
Conservative op-ed writer @BretStevensNYT writes about why a vote for Biden puts "principles before politics" and is the best hope for saving the Republican party. nytimes.com/2020/08/17/opini…
This was such a labour of love. Our Special Section on #internetshutdowns in Africa is finally out (and open access!) after all the hard work from amazing authors @G_De_Gregorio @admire2mare @ElCalavero Lisa Parks @Viscloo & my co-guest editor @nstremlau ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/issu…
The authors do such an excellent job of looking at #internetshutdowns from fresh perspectives rooted in Africa & challenge in important ways existing conceptualizations of internet shutdowns and the impact they have, which we think can benefit both academics and practitioners!

If you work in entrepreneurship in Kenya, Ghana or Rwanda, or were born there, @PNkontwana is a great researcher who needs people willing to take a short survey. It's an important study and a good cause, so if you have a few minutes see below!
@AmoGombe @hildamoraa @SheilahBirgen
Were you born or work in entrepreneurship development in Rwanda, Ghana and/or Kenya? If so, we need your story! Please visit this site for more: collector.sensemaker-suite.c…. Participation is both anonymous & voluntary. Thank you in advance #Entrepreneurship #Africa
I may be late to the party but I genuinely had no idea that a lot of Britain's fiber optic cable networks were built in sewers
