Cool, cool.
In order to participate in the #RightsCon annual conference for digital and online #humanRights, I have to agree to the Terms of Service of their third-party proprietary service, which demands the rights to do basically anything they want with my profile information, metadata, & whatever I write.
Rights con, indeed. 🤦🏽♂️

in reply to Michael Downey 🧢 • • •So do we infer that any one who does participate in this conference is just performatively claiming to care about digital human rights?
Or is it just incompetence on the part of the organisers?

This is a conference about human rights and you have Zoom?, Facebook. Then the 3rd party proprietary data stealing?
With the subject matter, I'm disappointed they didn't hold themselves to a higher standard. I suspect they were too far down the line to change.
