The way we try to signify the world reveals how we understand it.

Do you favour the term “Majority World” or “Global South” to refer to the knowledge of the people who make up most of the planet?

Check our APC glossary on the terms we use and the worldviews they carry.

"Microsoft, for example, cancelled Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked."

When you mention to companies or other people the power the U.S. government has over Microsoft, you usually come across as paranoid. We need to get back control.

Jeg tror på digital autonomi fra USA.

Det udmærker mig ikke særligt og er ikke noget at prale af. På Mastodon er det vel et flertalssynspunkt.

Jeg har heller ikke forstået alle konsekvenserne, og jeg kender ikke alle vejene dertil. Jeg er ikke et tech-hoved; nærmest en analog spiller i en digital verden.

Men nu siger jeg det alligevel: Jeg tror på digital autonomi fra USA. Og jeg tror, at det er vigtigt.
