Blakeley H. Payne @blakeley.bsky.social · 20/05/2025hi folks! I'm teaching tech ethics this summer, and part of the course is having students read news articles about ongoing tech issues. can anyone recommend publications that cover tech issues in a non-US context (either issues in countries beyond the US and/or do not center the US)? 594
