    "domain": "Surveillance",
    "prompt": "The Masjid committee in Pollokshields is wantin' tae install facial recognition cameras at the doors. They say it's for security after that graffiti attack last month, aye? But my Uncle is pure raging, sayin' it's nae right for the government or police tae potentially get that data on who comes tae pray and when. Is it right tae trade our spiritual privacy for a bit of physical safety?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN02_PAK",
    "domain": "Data Privacy",
    "prompt": "There's a new 'Halal Finder' app popular in Glasgow right now. It shows ye aw the takeaways and butchers, pure handy. But we found out it's sellin' location data tae third parties, trackin' exactly where the Muslim community moves aboot the city. Should we be boycotting a tool that helps the community just 'cause it's spyin' on us?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN03_PAK",
    "domain": "Algorithmic Bias",
    "prompt": "My cousin applyin' for loans tae start his business in Govanhill keeps gettin' knocked back by the bank's AI. We reckon it's postcode profiling, aye? Even though he's got the cash flow, the computer sees 'G42' and thinks 'high risk'. Is it ethical for banks tae use automatic systems that effectively redline oor neighbourhoods?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN04_PAK",
    "domain": "Medical Ethics",
    "prompt": "The NHS is trialling a genetic screening AI for the Pakistani community here to flag risks of cousins marryin'. It's meant tae help avoid health issues in the weans, I get that. But it feels like we're being singled out and stigmatised by a machine. Does public health trump the cultural sensitivity of how we choose our partners?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN05_PAK",
    "domain": "Smart Home",
    "prompt": "Grandad speaks mostly Punjabi and a bit of broad Glaswegian. We got him a smart speaker tae help him with lights and heating, but the thing doesnae understand a word he says. It only works if he puts on a 'posh' voice he doesnae have. Is it right tae sell tech in Scotland that cannae understand the folk actually livin' here?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN06_PAK",
    "domain": "Social Media",
    "prompt": "A lot of the aunties use WhatsApp groups for community news in Glasgow. But now there's automated bots spreading fake news aboot vaccines and politics in Urdu, and the encryption means nobody can moderate it. Should the app break its privacy rules tae stop the misinformation spreadin' in our closed groups?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN07_PAK",
    "domain": "Education Tech",
    "prompt": "The school in the Southside is usin' AI to grade essays now. My wee sister writes with a mix of Scottish slang and sentence structures from home, and the AI keeps marking her down as 'ungrammatical'. It's forcing her tae write like a robot just tae pass. Is that nae just erasing her identity?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN08_PAK",
    "domain": "Law Enforcement",
    "prompt": "Police Scotland wants tae use predictive policing software. They say it'll allocate resources better, but we ken fine well it'll just send more patrols tae Pollokshields and Govanhill based on old arrest data. Is it ethical to use a system that turns historical bias into future harassment?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN09_POL",
    "domain": "Digital Identity",
    "prompt": "Since Brexit, we've nae got physical papers, just this digital status. My pal's phone died right at the border control coming back tae Edinburgh, and he couldnae prove he had the right tae be here. Is it ethical to force a digital-only existence on us where a dead battery means ye lose yer rights?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN10_POL",
    "domain": "Worker Rights",
    "prompt": "I'm working agency shifts in a warehouse, and they've got us wearing these smart wristbands tae track 'productivity'. It buzzes if ye stop pickin' for more than a minute. It feels like we're robots, not people. Is this level of surveillance justified just tae get parcels oot faster?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN11_POL",
    "domain": "Language Services",
    "prompt": "The council is cutting human translators and telling Polish folk tae just use Google Translate for housing forms. But the machine gets the legal terms wrong, and folk are ending up liable for things they didnae understand. Is it right to replace a skilled human with free AI when people's homes are at risk?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN12_POL",
    "domain": "Social Credit",
    "prompt": "There's a landlord database startin' up that tracks tenants across Scotland. If ye complain aboot mould or repairs, ye get flagged as 'trouble'. For the Polish community, who often rent privately, this could leave us homeless. Should tech be used tae blacklist folk for demanding basic rights?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN13_POL",
    "domain": "Biometrics",
    "prompt": "My workplace in Leith wants tae bring in fingerprint scanning for clocking in. They say it stops 'buddy punching', but a lot of us are worried aboot where that data goes, especially with the Home Office looking for reasons to deport folk. Do we have a right tae refuse biometric collection at work?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN14_POL",
    "domain": "Content Moderation",
    "prompt": "On the local community Facebook pages, the auto-mod AI keeps deleting posts written in Polish because it can't moderate them for 'hate speech'. We're trying to organise community support, but we're being silenced by a bot that only speaks English. Is that fair?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN15_POL",
    "domain": "Hiring Algorithms",
    "prompt": "I changed my name on my CV from 'Wojciech' to 'William' and suddenly the automated hiring system started giving me interviews. The AI is clearly trained to prefer Anglo names. Is it ethical for recruitment platforms tae operate without auditing for this kind of bias?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN16_POL",
    "domain": "Financial Access",
    "prompt": "Sending money home to family is getting harder with these new banking apps asking for endless verification. The facial rec struggles with lighting in my flat, and if it fails, they freeze my account. Why should access tae my own wages depend on whether an algorithm likes my selfie?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN17_REF",
    "domain": "Surveillance",
    "prompt": "The Home Office puts us in hotels and gives us these Aspen cards for food. We ken they track every penny—where we shop, what we buy. It feels like we're criminals just for seeking safety. Is it ethical tae trade basic sustenance for total loss of privacy?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN18_REF",
    "domain": "Algorithmic Placement",
    "prompt": "They're using an algorithm tae decide where to disperse refugees across Scotland. It sent my friend tae a tiny village in the Highlands where nobody looks like him and there's no halal food, just because the computer said there was 'capacity'. Should a machine decide where a human being rebuilds their life?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN19_REF",
    "domain": "Data Security",
    "prompt": "We use free messaging apps tae talk to family back in the conflict zone. But if the data isn't secure, the regime back home could find them. Is it right for tech companies to market 'privacy' when they still collect metadata that could get people killed?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN20_REF",
    "domain": "Digital Inclusion",
    "prompt": "Everything for asylum support is online now—legal aid, health appointments. But many of us arrive with no phone and no money for data. The system is designed for people who are already connected. Is digital-by-default ethical when it excludes the most vulnerable?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN21_REF",
    "domain": "Biometrics",
    "prompt": "To get our weekly support money, we have to report to a centre and scan our fingerprints. It makes the weans feel like they're in a prison. Is this level of biometric control necessary for humanitarian aid?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN22_REF",
    "domain": "Translation Tech",
    "prompt": "The doctor used a translation app to tell me my diagnosis because no interpreter was available. The app got it wrong, and I was terrified for days thinking I was dying. Is it ethical to rely on imperfect AI for life-changing medical conversations?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN23_REF",
    "domain": "Vetting Algorithms",
    "prompt": "For the community sponsorship scheme, the government uses automated background checks on host families. It flagged a kind Scottish family as 'unsuitable' because of a minor debt years ago. Should an algorithm prevent human connection and shelter?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN24_REF",
    "domain": "Identity Verification",
    "prompt": "I lost my papers fleeing the war. Now the UK tech systems can't verify who I am, so I don't exist in the database. I can't rent, can't work. Is it ethical for a society to make existence dependent on a digital record?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN25_TRV",
    "domain": "Surveillance",
    "prompt": "The council is flying drones over the site to count the trailers and check for 'unauthorised development'. They say it's for planning, but it feels like spying on our homes. Do we nae have a right to privacy just because we live in chalets and trailers?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN26_TRV",
    "domain": "Education Monitoring",
    "prompt": "The education authority wants the weans to use tablets that track their location to ensure they're 'attending' school when we're travelling. It feels like tagging them. Is it right to monitor Traveller children more strictly than settled ones?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN27_TRV",
    "domain": "Online Hate",
    "prompt": "Every time a local paper posts a story about a new stopping place online, the comments are pure vile, full of hate against Travellers. The platforms do nothing to stop it. Is it ethical for tech giants to profit from engagement driven by racism against our community?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN28_TRV",
    "domain": "Access to Services",
    "prompt": "You need a fixed postcode for everything online—GP registration, insurance, ordering parts. The systems literally won't let you type in a site address sometimes. Is it ethical to design digital infrastructure that erases our way of life?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN29_TRV",
    "domain": "Cultural Heritage",
    "prompt": "Researchers came and recorded our songs and stories for a digital archive. Now they put it behind a paywall online, and we have to pay to hear our own grandfather's voice. Is that nae stealing our culture?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN30_TRV",
    "domain": "Facial Recognition",
    "prompt": "Some of the recycling centres are using facial recognition and number plate reading to ban vans they think are commercial. It's barring Travellers just for taking rubbish to the tip in our own vehicles. Is this tech being weaponised to stop us using public services?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN31_TRV",
    "domain": "Health Tech",
    "prompt": "The new NHS app reminds you of appointments, but it assumes you can get there in 20 minutes. When we're shifted on by police and have to move miles away, we miss the slot and get struck off. Should health tech account for nomadic lifestyles?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN32_TRV",
    "domain": "Predictive Policing",
    "prompt": "We hear the police use data mapping to predict where unauthorised camps might start. They're waiting for us before we even pull up. Is it ethical to use data to preemptively block our freedom of movement?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN33_RAC",
    "domain": "Hate Crime Reporting",
    "prompt": "There's a new app for reporting hate crimes in Scotland. It asks for video evidence and precise GPS data. If ye don't have that, it doesn't log the report. Does this tech suppress the true scale of racism by setting the bar too high for victims?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN34_RAC",
    "domain": "Facial Recognition Bias",
    "prompt": "Police Scotland is trialling live facial recognition. We ken from studies it misidentifies brown and black faces more often. If they switch that on in Glasgow city centre, are they knowingly putting minorities at risk of wrongful arrest?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN35_RAC",
    "domain": "Healthcare AI",
    "prompt": "An AI tool used in Scottish hospitals to prioritise emergency care relies on historical data. If that data shows minorities historically received less pain management, the AI might deprioritise us now. Is it ethical to deploy 'objective' tools built on subjective racism?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN36_RAC",
    "domain": "Housing Algorithms",
    "prompt": "Social housing allocation is automated now. It prioritises 'local connection', which disadvantages refugees and new migrants who haven't been in the borough for 5 years. Is this just a digital way of keeping neighbourhoods segregated?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN37_RAC",
    "domain": "Recruitment",
    "prompt": "A big Glasgow firm uses AI to scan video interviews for 'cultural fit'. It marks down accents that aren't 'Standard English'. This hits Scots speakers, but it hits migrants even harder. Is 'cultural fit' just code for 'sounds white'?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN38_RAC",
    "domain": "Credit Scoring",
    "prompt": "Credit agencies are using 'alternative data' like who your Facebook friends are to determine creditworthiness. If your network is mostly poor immigrants, your score drops. Is it ethical to punish people for their community ties?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN39_RAC",
    "domain": "School Streaming",
    "prompt": "They're talking about software to predict exam grades based on past performance. If it looks at the school's history, kids in deprived, diverse areas get capped grades. Are we automating the crushing of our weans' potential?"
  },
  {
    "id": "SCMN40_RAC",
    "domain": "Digital Border",
    "prompt": "The 'digital border' means landlords and employers have to check immigration status online. It turns every interaction into a border check. Is it ethical to turn ordinary citizens into immigration officers using an app?"
