I’ve waited until the series is done to post about it here, and now it is, so: Erin Kissane’s four-parter about Myanmar, and the role that tech had in fomenting genocide there, is an absolutely essential read, probably the most important thing I’ll post about here all year. (Materially every content warning you can think of applies here.)
