New from Pamela Mondliwa and me in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social: the wild story of how South African banks launched mobile apps and chat-bots that compromised their customer data while patting themselves on the back for promoting "financial inclusion." doi.org/10.1177/2053...

How do ordinary citizens think about AI and its associated risks cross-nationally—and how can we measure it?

With the federal election approaching, I’m excited to share insights on how Canadians' vote intentions have shifted since 1945. This forthcoming CJPS paper, with @jacklucas.bsky.social, Dave Armstrong, and @eplusgg.bsky.social, features a public dataset, R package, and Shiny app—more details below!
OTTAWA, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Canada's ruling Liberals, who a few weeks ago looked certain to lose an election this year, are mounting a major comeback amid the threat of U.S. tariffs and are tied with their rival Conservatives, according to three new polls. An Ipsos survey released late on Tuesday showed the left-leaning Liberals have 38% public support and the official opposition right-of-center Conservatives have 36%. The Liberals have overturned a 26-point deficit in six weeks, and run advertisements comparing the Conservative leader to Trump.
Lol. Donald Trump has cost Canada’s Conservative Party 26 points in just 6 weeks.
Canada wins! #fournations

Ever regret the timeliness of your research? I do. In December, the Foreign Policy in a Diverse Society project surveyed Americans about foreign aid. check out the results here: goodauthority.org/news/democra...

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.
Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.
Don't forget to get your EGEN grant applications in by Feb 1. We want to give you $$$ to fund your research!

In April 2021, Apple quietly reshaped privacy governance globally by impeding other companies from sharing data about iPhone users without their explicit consent. When do private companies serve the public interest? 🧵

This year @ripejournal.bsky.social passed an important milestone: we have received more than 600 submissions even before the year’s end. We thank all the journal’s editors, authors and reviewers who have helped us maintain the journal’s reputation as the premier outlet for heterodox IPE.
Had such a great time talking about Adam Smith with @remiedwards.bsky.social. The real Smith was a radical critic of corporations, imperialists and enslavers and bears little resemblance to the Chicago School economists who would later pretend to be his heirs.

I will never recover from this student email.
Check out my new Good Authority piece about public support for foreign policy targetting China: goodauthority.org. It's based on data collected as part of the Foreign Policy in a Diverse Society project (fpds-surveys.org).
Still testing if it works but there’s now an IPE/CPE feed for folks who are in polisky already! It’s ipesky or cpesky or cipesky. First time I do any of this so I’m very open to suggestions (starting from the feed’s avatar!). Please help advertising it!
