-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ NNSquad ] Unicode is over and it dies over Emoji Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2017 08:18:20 -0800 From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren(a)vortex.com> To: nnsquad(a)nnsquad.org Unicode is over and it dies over Emoji http://blog.koehntopp.info/index.php/2745-unicode-is-over-and-it-dies-over-… That is, something that was supposed to be an annotation for conveying emotion became not only anthropomorphised to the point where that meaning is overshadowed by race, gender and culture issues. - - - A reminder of why I *never* have voluntarily used Emjoi in my communications. And likely never will. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren(a)vortex.com) https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 --- Impeach Trump --- _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
