Absher, Appel and Google
Runaway Saudi sisters
call for 'inhuman' woman-monitoring app to be pulled
Maha and Wafa al-Subaie called for Absher,
which supports male guardianship system, to be removed by Google and Apple

Two runaway Saudi sisters on Wednesday urged
Apple and Google to pull an “inhuman” app allowing men to monitor and control
female relatives’ travel as it helped trap girls in abusive families. (…)
Absher, which is available in the Saudi version
of Google and Apple online stores, allows men to update or withdraw permissions
for female relatives to travel abroad and to get SMS updates if their passports
are used, according to researchers.
Neither company was immediately available to
comment. Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook said in February that he had not
heard of Absher but pledged to “take a look at it”.
A free tool created by the interior ministry,
Absher allows Saudis to access a wide range of government services, such as
renewing passports, making appointments and viewing traffic violations.
Saudi women must have permission from a male
relative to work, marry and travel under the ultra-conservative Islamic
kingdom’s guardianship system, which has faced scrutiny following recent cases
of Saudi women seeking refuge overseas. (…)
United Nations human rights chief Michelle
Bachelet said on Wednesday that she had asked tech companies in Silicon Valley
“tough questions” this month about the “threats” posed by apps like Absher.
“Technology can, and should, be all about
progress. But the hugely invasive powers that are being unleashed may do
incalculable damage if there are not sufficient checks in place to respect
human rights,” she said in a statement. (…)

My TED talk by Carole Cadwalladr
My TED talk: how I
took on the tech titans in their lair
Carole Cadwalladr
For more than a year,
the Observer writer has been probing a darkness at the heart of Silicon Valley.
Last week, at a TED talk that became a global viral sensation, she told the
tech billionaires they had broken democracy. What happened next?
The Observer Cambridge Analytica
Sun 21 Apr 2019 08.00 BST
(…) “On the TED stage, dressed in a hat and a
hood, Dorsey (*) appeared – and I can’t think of any other way of saying this –
insentient. And when I make the same observation to an older tech titan, he
tells me how he once went with Zuckerberg on a 15-hour flight on a private jet
with 16 other people and Zuckerberg never said a word to anyone for the entire
duration.” (…)
(…) “Dorsey can see the iceberg but doesn’t
seem to feel our terror. Or understand it. In an interview last summer, US
journalist Kara Swisher, repeatedly asked Zuckerberg how he felt about
Facebook’s role in inciting genocide in Myanmar – as established by the UN –
and he couldn’t or wouldn’t answer.
The world needs all kinds of brains. But in the
situation we are in, with the dangers we face, it’s not these kinds of brains.
These are brilliant men. They have created platforms of unimaginable
complexity. But if they’re not sick to their stomach about what has happened in
Myanmar or overwhelmed by guilt about how their platforms were used by Russian
intelligence to subvert their own country’s democracy, or sickened by their own
role in what happened in New Zealand, they’re not fit to hold these jobs or wield
this unimaginable power.” (…)

Facial recognition is big tech’s latest toxic ‘gateway’ app by John Naughton

Facial recognition is
big tech’s latest toxic ‘gateway’ app
John Naughton
We test and control
drugs, so why do we freely allow the spread of potentially harmful products by
unregulated entrepreneurs?
(…) “To appreciate the
depths of our plight with this stuff, imagine if the pharmaceutical industry
were allowed to operate like the tech companies currently do. Day after day in
their laboratories, researchers would cook up amazingly powerful, interesting
and potentially lucrative new drugs which they could then launch on an
unsuspecting public without any obligation to demonstrate their efficacy or
safety. Yet this is exactly what has been happening in tech companies for the
past two decades – all kinds of “cool”, engagement-boosting and sometimes
addictive services have been cooked up and launched with no obligation to
assess their costs and benefits to society. In that sense one could think of
Facebook Live, say, as the digital analogue of thalidomide – useful for some
purposes and toxic for others. Facebook Live turned out to be useful for a mass
killer to broadcast his atrocity; thalidomide was marketed over the counter in
Europe as a mild sleeping pill but ultimately caused the birth of thousands of
deformed children, and untold anguish.” (…)

In the morning vs on the morning?
These are four quotes from The Guardian:
If you have trouble
waking up in the mornings, having
some light coming in through the windows may help.
Early in the morning of 26
September, alarms went off and computers sent signals that a US Minuteman
intercontinental ballistic missile had ...
The simple story would
be this: on the morning of 12 August 2012, a 16-year-old girl woke up in an
unfamiliar basement in Steubenville, a football-obsessed town on the border of
West Virginia.
One hundred years ago
this Sunday, at 11 o’clock on the morning of 11
November 1918, the guns fell silent in France.
So, what is the
correct option: in the morning or on the morning?
