Really great project that shouldn’t have to exist

Investigative Journalism Foundation @IJFMedia

🧵 Canadians can now freely access over 2.6 million pages of internal government documents never before made publicly available with our newest dataset, Open By Default. Explore the huge database of internal government documents: https://t.co/zkBdCT4Ngz

The @OIC_CI_Canada did a systematic review of the RCMP and ATIP in 2020 and they committed to all kinds of reform. The number of illegally delayed requests at last check-in in Nov had nearly doubled since then, per RCMP annual report https://t.co/P1BrJSiskJ https://t.co/FlQD47dPqT

Today, more than 7 years after I filed this ATIP to the RCMP, I finally received the documents. They’re not even that redacted, but very stale now nonetheless. #cdnfoi https://t.co/CQht9Otu4U

TLDR; today Privacy Commissioner @PrivacyPrivee found @CharlieAngusNDP complaints on RCMP internet surveillance tools (based on my @TheTyee reporting) “well-founded” for a myriad of reasons … and “unresolved” as RCMP already committed to NOT fixing it https://t.co/O7EOg15eJl

Doctorow’s novel imagines a non-bleak planetary future & works backwards to recent non-fiction decisions And as is rarely the case w/ audiobooks (& increasingly every mass produced internet-obtainable thing), you can have someone read it to you w/o giving a penny to Jeff Bezos:

Cory Doctorow NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK @doctorow

My next book is *The Lost Cause*. It's a climate emergency book. @LibraryJournal called it "a message hope in a near-future that looks increasingly bleak." As with all my books @Amazon refuses to sell the audiobook, so I'm selling it on @Kickstarter: https://t.co/NtQYBuOApX 1/ https://t.co/HCybf6tsKd

The scale of wealth creation from this corruption is so unimaginably large that’s it’s hard to think of strong enough disincentive, but Ontario better get to work doing so anyways if it wants to have a province #onpoli https://t.co/V327BZzDjg

My Original draft pitched this to be part of a series called: “The Internet was a great experiment but it’s time to shut it down” but @TheTyee didn’t want to go for that for some reason. Reverting back to RSS: small steps https://t.co/olJZPw9Yi2

The information Commissioner continues to calmly state that the system is completely broken & it’s clear nobody’s going to do anything about it. Despite multiple committees/reviews laying out what has to happen to have an actual democracy: the ability to know what gov is doing https://t.co/v6I9zRIa14

This is a huge issue I have seen happen in multiple jurisdictions

That confidentiality requirement exists so people can make requests without fear of reprisal. It’s obviously weird for me to report on my own privacy issue but I think it’s important to show how these things are working behind closed doors. https://t.co/fnCL09kJcA
