Caught on Camera: India is Woefully Unprepared for Facial Recognition Technology

Varsha Rao The current discourse surrounding the use of facial recognition technology in surveillance operations, prompted by the recent ban in San Francisco, is populated by cost-benefit analyses – the cost of privacy and freedom of assembly versus the benefit of nabbing criminals and identifying missing children.

Wikimedia Foundation announces tenth transparency report

The Wikimedia Foundation has supported free access to the sum of all knowledge for nearly sixteen years. This longstanding vision would not be possible without the dedication of community members who contribute content to the Wikimedia projects.

Seja por meio de uma conversa, uma mensagem de texto ou uma fotografia, a interação em sociedade acontece por meio da comunicação, e isso não é diferente na internet. No entanto, à medida em que seguimos cada vez mais presencialmente isolados uns dos outros, com nossas pesquisas, postagens e compartilhamentos, fica mais fácil esquecer do que vai além de nós – e nossas “bolhas” – no uso da internet. Como colaborar para a inclusão digital de outros usuários para uma internet mais livre, aberta e, de fato, comunicativa?
 
Acesso é inclusão digital?
