Just your reminder that even if there are good uses for a technology, that doesn’t justify mass surveillance and data gathering. We should demand tech that coincides with our values, and shun tech that doesn’t.
Don’t cripwash surveillance tech.
We can imagine and create tech that doesn’t come with this many downsides - for disabled and nondisabled alike.

You don't necessarily want to use the exact same alt text each time a specific image is used. Alt text must consider the context of the image and why it's being included on a site, post, article, etc. In other words, alt text depends on where you're including the image and why.

Folks make doing alt text harder on themselves by not going into it with a clear idea of the goal.
Preview of my thread:
1. Alt text is not to describe everything in the image.
2. Alt text should usually be pretty short.
3. Alt text should change depending on where/why the image is posted.

@evansolomon.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social This is how you standup for Canadian women and children. Not whatever it is you think you’re doing by continuing to support #X and #Grok. You can’t expect it to change if there aren’t significant consequences.

X’s Grok AI tool is being used to generate nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. This is unacceptable. @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I are demanding that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until Elon Musk addresses these heinous violations.
Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation
practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.

I will accept no moral high ground from a government that refuses to ban a platform that is actively, in real time, right in front of our faces, creating child sexual abuse materials.
They're not banning it and there are still government departments with official Twitter accounts.
