A U.S. court has ruled that training AI on over 7 million pirated books can be “#fairuse” if the output is “transformative.” Really!?! For African creators, this is a red flag — no consent, compensation, or recognition. 👉linkedin.com/pulse/what-bar… #IGF2025 #PlatformAccountability
🎯 #Surveillance -based marketing in Africa is rising—built upon a system that profiles, tracks, & targets users without consent. Opaque data practices + weak regulation = growing digital exploitation. 👉 linkedin.com/pulse/you-bein… #IGF2025 #DataPrivacy #SurveillanceTech

@MoWT_Uganda In the spirit of managing traffic, The Traffic Officers will allow Cars to cross over to Ntinda even when the lights are red to ease traffic.How will the automated system acknowledge the human intervention in thos case?
#Uganda has introduced a new electronic ticketing system which many deem poorly structured. There are also arguments that the #smartcity cameras have not been used effectively to address crime. Which should take precedent? Disyribution of fines or crime management? #EPSAutoUg

Despite billions of #datapoints generated daily, information on women's status and lived realities is conspicuously absent, highlighting pervasive gender inequality futures.issafrica.org/blog/2024/Wher… via @issafrica
This year's theme at #DRIF25 is "Promoting digital ubuntu in approaches to technology"! The Zulu saying "Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu" translates to, "A person is a person through other people" Looking forward to extending ubuntu online! #TechTapestry
At #DRIF25 opening panel, @gbengasesan highlights the role of CSOs, tech companies, activism, academia & gov’ts in promoting #digitalUbuntu. “Some gov’t officials become #humanrights defenders after they retire, as they are persecuted by systems they put in place when in power”
Looking forward to @alison_gillwald at #IGF2023. The gender gap in the digital society has remained a constant in many countries despite lots of efforts. What keeps fueling it? What needs to change? What needs to be done differently?
