Unlike most countries, Pak's cybercrime law gives victims of image based violence protection to seek justice. But having a law isn't enough when legal sys is broken. I write w @_meher on the story of a girl struggling to have her abuser arrested since 2019.

The country has passed some of the strongest laws against online abuse in the world. But enforcing them is another story.

Recent report revealing Microsoft's role in the israeli war crimes in Palestine, is a reminder that tech companies are complicit. For PR-obsessed corporates the size of microsoft, everything goes through strict due diligence. How did they miss this?.

- May '25: EU made almost $70M off of rejected applications from Africa.- June '24: UK made £5.3M through rejected apps only from Pakistan; EU made €3.34M.- 2024: EU made €14M from rejected visas from India. First they colonised us, then they stole from us, now they exploit us.
When a visa application is denied and all the money is kept by the embassy? Now, that is fraudulent behaviour.

Jstor killed Aaron Swartz because he believed knowledge should be available to everyone for free. Now the entire AI industry is built on and fueled by stolen work with only the same multi-million dollar companies as beneficiaries.

Feminist AI this, ethical AI that. But what even are those? Are they even possible given the extractive nature of the tech behind AI? I wonder.
⚙️What does a truly feminist future for AI look like? What must we refuse to accept in the name of innovation? . @hijakamran questions the very DNA of AI that rests on violent extractive processes, & asks whether a #FeministAI is possible.
