Over the last decade, humanitarian organizations have digitized many of their systems, from registering refugees with biometric IDs to transporting cargo via drones. This has helped deliver aid around the world, but it’s also brought new risks to the people it’s meant to protect. Tech and human rights ethicist Aarathi Krishnan points to the dangers of digitization — like sensitive data getting into the hands of the wrong people — and lays out five ethical principles to help inform humanitarian tech innovation.

The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn’t depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, silver and digital currencies(BTC, ETH..).

Early this year she said that bitcoin was going to drop to $18,000, I never believed it until I saw it with my eyes few days ago, trust me it was a huge opportunity for me to buy the dip.

So… the answer to how do we combat the monitoring of people in a way that threatens human rights, is more monitoring? 🤡

Needs to be integrated as constraint into discovery/architecture solutioning in the same way we integrate cyber security constraints, 508 constraints, and style constraints.

Action speaks louder than words. Need more action in humanitarian front! People/everybody will be judged by the content of their character not by the color of their skin!

This ethical framework is so needed. And I think all of these recommendations are relevant not only for tech but all humanitarian interventions

every. single. person. in. tech. research. should. hear. this. from. you.
I will send this to every single fuckall in my grad program that doesnt think a single contextual piece through.
