A team of University of Miami student journalists are diving deep into the school's contradictory claims about face surveillance. Read, watch, or listen to their project to hold campus police accountable. https://www.umfacialrecognition.com/

Companies that peddle their surveillance software and services to oppressive governments must be held accountable for the resulting human rights abuses.

RIGHT! It’s beta, but we have a Matrix bridge up for @liberachat@twitter.com: you can connect to #foo:http://libera.chat where #foo is the channel. Huge thanks to the team for letting us expose the network on Matrix! We are also working through fixing the bridge bug backlog :)

Some big news to round off the trifecta of our IRC gateways: our matrix bridge is now available! You can connect to foo:http://libera.chat where #foo is the channel.

A big thanks to @matrix for their support - we know a lot of our communities view Matrix access as a big deal!

Libera is a week old, and we've come strong out the blocks. Thank you to our 20,000 users for your support, enthusiasm, and patience.

I've written a little about our first week and some of the projects we host here: https://libera.chat/news/one-week-of-libera-chat
