Luddites weren't anti-tech.
They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker.
I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.

I hate crypto, I hate online gambling, I hate AI, I hate pay-later, I hate subscription models, I hate the gig economy, I hate ring cameras, I hate drones, I hate self checkout.
I don't want to come off as a luddite but capitalism's hold on tech sucks.

Well, after some existencial weeks, I'm back. So, let's talk about cute "innocent" AI narratives that invisibilize situations of injustice.
One (or none) like, and we call it a go on hyperscale data centers and the myth of the inmateriality of "the cloud".

Mexico is presenting a new Telecommunications and digital services law that was originally planned to be approved fast track.
After an intense backlash of civil society and other sectors, the proposal was halted and is now open to multisectorial participation.
Why was this law so bad.

Big Tech are just like oil companies and pharmaceutical corporations: reckless, undemocratic, and willing to take all (including your life) for profit
The difference is marketing; they have convinced people they're good and worrying for the future
It's time to redirect rage & justice against them

OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a vulgar display of power.

Trumpists are making the Signal scandal a "security problem" because an idiot sandwich gave a journalist access to a high-level chat.
It's a top moment of stupidity, and they were already high.
They're about to say encryption fails because Putin can read your chats if you show him directly

Ese segundo momento siempre llega tarde y lo que pasa hoy en Argentina es eso mismo. Esto es el terror, lo que está del otro lado, su contrario, y negarlo es rechazar la posibilidad misma de buscar una salida.

One important policy of fascism is to establish a clear distinction between allies and enemies/the good and the bad citizens/bad-evil that the leader then has to fight (eliminate somehow).
"Terrorist" distinctions are key to doing this since they allow the use of "legitimate" public violence

If you are keeping track:
Jan 6 protestors -- not domestic terrorists
Tesla dealership protestors -- domestic terrorists
Campus pro-Palestine protestors -- domestic terrorists
And now social media companies that default their community standards to the US conception of "terrorism" ... your move.

Qué razones se les ocurren que llevaron a la concentración de poder tan brutal e ilimitada de las Big Tech?
Una en la que pienso mucho es esa idea (ideología del capitalismo de plataformas) de que el entorno digital "es algo distinto", entonces no debía regularse y había que "dejarlo ser"

This is exactly the point some of us made at Rightscon this year. Freedom of expression is close to meaningless in the actual conditions without deconcentration of the power of the market from big platforms and big tech.

Meta’s policy changes have allowed neo-Nazi content to flourish on Instagram, with accounts openly spreading hate, antisemitic rhetoric, and Nazi symbols while profiting from it. This unchecked extremism is spreading faster than ever.
