This shows the Unicode proposals that provide historical background for each accepted emoji, including the emoji names, years, authors, categories, and more. "This usually includes the first time that the emoji was considered for encoding, which often predates the development of the standard form for proposals." A brief of Unicode proposals: Basically, the Unicode Standard is an information technology standard for the consistent encoding and representation of the world's writing systems, including emojis. To expand the emojis, creators can submit their proposal to the Unicode Standard to be reviewed. The Unicode Standard's rules to select proposals are including showing the diversity and representing minorities, so there are emojis for LGBTQ+, different skin colors, and more. **Why could it be critical?**
I started to follow the critical issue about Unicode emojis when I saw [#InsertTibetanFlag campaign](https://www.tibetflagemoji.com/). Some flags of underrepresented groups or under-recognized countries don't have their emojis, such as Tibet, Uyghur, Kurdish people. Even the Taiwanese flag is removed from the emoji keyboard for users in Hong Kong and Macau. Also, you can see one of the earliest groups of flag emojis here

So from these data, we can question the development of emojis' diversity and the socio-political issues behind emojis. 33:T53c,- Data: [Abstract IP Geolocation](https://www.abstractapi.com/ip-geolocation-api) - Critical Focus: Tracking, Privacy, Cyber Security - First Iteration: - Mockup:
a. This is a very simple prototype to show how the information can be shown to viewers when the software tracks viewers, including the city, region, country, timezone, to tell them their location and related information.
b. The initial page here is just a sentence, but it can be made into a clickbait, which can be everything that is able to make viewers click, such as a website talking about health problems, an email with promotion information, and the link. It's better to make it irrelevant to this software art project and tracking. The purpose is to do "phishing" and make viewers click it without realization.
c. The API can gain the viewers' IP address and know the location and detailed info from it. The initial API also contains longitude and latitude. In the future, it can visualize the location in a world map and indicate where the viewers are.
d. Some possible works can be a website that shows the world map of all the viewers, and a Twitter bot that updates when a viewer clicks and gets tracked by the software.

\n\nThis is an API that can query location information including a country, a city, a region from the IP address, and more. I think this API could be used for the project talking about tracking and privacy. For example, it can be used to create a website for \"phishing\" (of course not to attack viewers). After the viewers click the website, we can get viewers' IP addresses and know about where they are. Then the project can show them the information we queried to the viewers to let them know they are tracked and let them be aware of the privacy issue of IP addresses.\n\nMoreover, this API can query whether a VPN is used or not. Although VPN is normally used for protecting the IP address, now the viewers are informed their action of using VPN is also tracked, which can be a warning.","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","providerMetadata":"$undefined","attachments":"$undefined","output":"","database":"$undefined"},{"id":70,"value":"$32","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","providerMetadata":"$undefined","attachments":"$undefined","output":"","database":"$undefined"},{"id":86,"value":"## 4.
