Three years ago, #SterliteCopper plant in #Thoothukudi was closed down after violent agitation.

India was reduced from an exporter of copper to an importer.

Around one lakh families lost their livelihood.

How did this happen? What is the truth?

A thread (1/8) ⬇️

1. Protestors accused plant of environment pollution. But expert study suggests otherwise.

Propaganda : Plant wastes pollute environment

Reality : No incident of unhygienic waste disposal reported. Waste generated are used in cement production, road construction etc. (2/8)
Propaganda: High level of SO2 emitted by plant.

Reality : Study conducted by TNPCB repudiated the claim. SO2 is not discharged but used as raw material for manufacturing 'sulphuric acid'

Similarly claims about cancer, groundwater pollution etc. was also found exaggerated. (3/8)
2. Realization of mistake

▪ Locals reeling under unemployment created by closure and aggravated by pandemic have started petitioning for reopening of the plant.

▪ Survey reveals how people were misled by 'outsiders' into protests. (4/8)

▪️ Tamil Chauvinists like Vaiko

Copper is indispensable to nation's economy.

And Sterlite plant produced 40% of India's Copper.

We will be coming up with more information exposing Anti-India/Anti Sterlite lobby.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
