#Meta have just won an emergency injunction against their former director of global public policy, Sarah Wynn-Williams, to stop her distributing copies of her book, Careless People. The New York Times Book Review described it as, "an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world".

I have just ordered a copy and also sent a recommendation to the #CERN library to buy a copy.

"Even as queer and trans Iranian asylum seekers and Afghan refugees who left Iran for Turkey do not fall under the same category according to the UNHCR’s criteria, they have something in common: they are economic refugees. Yet the UNHCR does not recognize economic marginalization as grounds for granting asylum. If it did, a large number of people in the world (including in the United States) who are affected by global capitalism’s economic violence (such as lack of access to universal health care in the United States) would be eligible for asylum."

“When they challenge the innocent morality of the rights regime, anthropologists join a number of political and legal theorists who have asked whether humanitarianism is the new face of colonialism. Some have pointed out the paradoxes of rights-based arguments: that they allow people to make claims, but lock them into fixed identities defined by their injuries rather than freeing them from these identities into a world of equals; or they absolve the perpetrators of past violence by making them the defenders of rights.”
― Lila Abu-Lughod, Do Muslim Women Need Saving?
