Malte EngelerDue to the unexpected international attention to the #cablesofresistance conference @alineblankertz and I will give our talk about socialisation of digital platforms in English.
We will talk about why (European) alternatives, open source and regulation are not enough to address Big Tech and why we think that socialisation is a central pillar for transformative movements and how that could practically better the lives of people.
Cables Of Hope - socialising digital platforms instead of reforming the status quo Cables of Resistance - movement conference against Big Tech
Digital platforms are the powerful manifestation of capitalist digitisation. They manage and commercialise every aspect of our lives, whilst evading democratic control. This talk aims to make the socialisation of these platforms a central component of a transformative movement connecting people's needs and digital tools.
