Invasive tracking and pay-for-play search engines has broken the internet. It’s time to reclaim our independence with the Small Web.

Internal instructions accessed by Canada’s National Observer show that the chatbot produces tailored scripts, petitions, reports and even speeches for council chambers. The messaging is all framed to resonate with municipal officials’ duty to represent local interests. The chatbot drops the cost of misinformation to "close to zero."

Some questions I have:

1. Would you be interested in doing a reading for this?

Obviously the focus of the book is trans liberation, but if you’re cis I highly encourage participating as well. The book covers topics concerning gender that apply to cis people too, so don’t think that only trans people would benefit from reading it. From the book:

And if you do not identify as transgender or transsexual or intersexual, your life is diminished by our oppression as well. Your own choices as a man or a woman are sharply curtailed. Your individual journey to express yourself is shunted into one of two deeply carved ruts, and the social baggage you are handed is already packed.

This is a book that really everyone here should read and it’s not at all difficult to get through.

2. The chapters are fairly short. Would it be best to do 2 chapters a week or 1? There are 8 chapters total.

3. What day works best for posting the threads? I was thinking saturdays but would like to hear other opinions.

4. What comm would be the best place for the discussion threads? I was thinking https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns but with another comm be more suitable? Maybe theory? Transby_liberation?

5. Any other suggestions for it?
