Hanging around causing trouble in NL, working at Tilburg on data and representation. I’m sceptical about the whole thing tbh.

I'm told that the IC has assessed that the reservists killed in Kuwait a few weeks ago were targeted using adtech, and that the Iranians used it to trace their movements to the port. www.nbcnews.com/news/militar...

"We were excited to have a panel accepted on the role of technology in genocide in Gaza at this year’s Computers, Privacy & Data Protection (CPDP) conference in Brussels. However, CPDP then requested that Access Now & others remove the word “genocide” from panel titles & descriptions. We declined."
Two accepted panels on Palestine were targeted after the preliminary programme was published online: Technologies at war: The role of tech companies and the EU in facilitating war crimes and genocide in Gaza, and Cyber Surveillance and Data Violence in Palestine: Protection, Practice, and Legality. CPDP approached the panel organisers and advised them to remove the word ‘genocide’ in the titles and descriptions, including references to crimes and violations of international law. 

CPDP then unjustifiably singled out these two panels with a disclaimer that read: “The text of this panel represents the opinions of the Panel Organiser and not those of CPDP. The case before the ICJ regarding the categorization of Israel’s activities in Gaza has yet to be decided.” Upon the request of the panels’ organisers, the disclaimer was removed. 

Discussions about human rights abuses, atrocity crimes, or genocide do not require a court ruling to be legitimate. At the core of international law and human rights work is prevention — a responsibility that also extends to private companies, which are expected to identify and mitigate risks of contributing to such abuses. These obligations are clear under the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The  International Court of Justice (ICJ), in its provisionary measures orders, affirmed the responsibility of state and non-state actors to take actions in the face of a clear and imminent risk of genocide.  Multiple UN bodies and experts, genocide scholars, and leading human rights organisations have already categorised the Israeli conduct in Gaza as genocide that has met all legal elements of this crime.

For those doing critical research on tech, the abrupt evaporation of 'tech ethics' beginning from the US is not surprising. It was a business strategy (albeit involving good and dedicated people) not a set of beliefs. It's interchangeable with other business strategies, and was always contingent.

Just read Piketty & Sandel’s dialogue on equality. Funny how their distinct national backgrounds create friction. Sandel wants Piketty to talk about identity politics on the left but Piketty doesn’t take the bait. The French thinker rather criticizes Sandel for not writing about taxes and unions.
