The end of a lovely trip should not be this message waiting for me after landing safe and sound, @lufthansa. At least @Ryanair would tell me to my face that they’re not getting the luggage on the aircraft. 😂

Siber zorbalık dijital dünyanın tek tehdidi değil. Siber köleleştirme ve çocuklara yönelik cinsel istismar hızla yayılıyor. Çocukların üçte biri internette istemediği içeriklere maruz kalıyor. Peki, ne yapılıyor? | Dr. Sinan Aşçı yazdı. fikirturu.com/toplum/cocuk/k…

😮‍💨 The review process takes time (submitted May 29, 2024; still under review!), but findings deserve to travel. Our scoping review on AI-driven detection of online harms is now on SSRN. #AI #OnlineSafety #Research 👉🏻 Full paper: ssrn.com/abstract=5404476
