<h3>Social Justice Warrior Network</h3>
|
|
|
<p>If the underlying purpose of surveillance is control through self-censorship, I want to discuss what could happen if a lot of us aspire to have <em>more</em> to hide. My talk will propose a “network of radicals” for social justice. We are living through a crucial era when laws, norms, and architectures of technology still haven’t fully ossified. We should embrace our moment of historical leverage, while learning from the radicalism of the past.</p>

-<p>Who believes that any of the current tech start-ups, awash in easy venture capital, have any chance of disrupting fundamental problems like income/wealth inequality or climate resilience? Let’s join together to build social software optimized for political solidarity rather than Monthly Active Users. It’s okay to keep sharing cat pictures, but we can do a better job collectively pursuing real political outcomes. Let’s embrace the label “social justice warrior” and begin living our digital lives as if the revolution has already happened.</p>

<p>There are wicked problems that mainstream politics (and existing social networks) may simply be unfit to solve. What kind of network infrastructure would actively facilitate radical change? Why not start building it now?</p>
