Not going to lie, kind of strange hearing about what Twitter should have done in terms of evaluating early design / product / technology decisions in order to make things more ethical is a bit strange. We did, I'm here, ask me! #itscomplicated #coedethics
One of the things that @YanqingCheng got at a bit, but otherwise hasn't really been discussed at #coedethics (apologies if I just missed it!) is what are the ways that legitimate efforts to ethically design and build software systems undermined or fail for any reason?
What are strategies to correct for this? How can the many people who are and have been doing this (and more explicitly radical technology) be more effective?
I have no experience with Native American ancestry, so I'm not the person to look into Elizabeth Warren.
But I can tell you that even if her 3rd great-grandmother was in fact 100% Native, there's no guarantee her DNA would reflect that.

That said, Warren would hardly be the first American who honestly believed she had Native ancestry but did not. This is almost as persistent as the Ellis Island name change myth.
All I’m saying is that a DNA test wouldn’t be definitive in this case. Why?Read the links I posted.
