It occurs to me that there are other voices we should be listening to that aren't European or American in our internet spaces. So Fediverse who else should we be reading when we worry about Internet Freedom? About the centralisation dangers and censorship on the internet? Who are we drowning out? EDIT: :BoostOK: Like seriously, if you have a suggestion please reply. I'm enthusiastically asking.

    @onepict@chaos.social Chinese activists. The PRC has the most sophisticated and comprehensive internet censorship and filtering mechanism in the world, and importantly: they also export their technology and knowledge to other repressive regimes. The Great Firewall Report site for technical reports and descriptions of censorship mechanisms: https://gfw.report/en/ The Net4People forum, hosted on Github issues, where people (not only Chinese but also Russians, Iranians, etc) discuss network censorship: https://github.com/net4people/bbs

  • @onepict@chaos.social Follow people talking about accessibility-- no matter what part of the world they're from, people with disabilities are heavily marginalized and experience the weaknesses and failures of all systems in ways that highlight key hypocrisies and give them an understanding and perspective everyone needs to learn from. Until they personally experience a disability, the average person tends to assume that things work much better than they really do.

    @onepict@chaos.social I tend to boost them when I see them, and I often write from a systems perspective on topics related to privacy, et al, from a global perspective. Been involved at the WSIS level in the past, the LAC region (pretty much a lost cause), etc. Writing's on KnowProSE.com, increasingly so. Not self promoting. Looking for like minds myself.

    @onepict@chaos.social the Homeless Workers Movement from Brazil has a technology chapter (I am part of it) and we have a short comic book in English: https://digilabour.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Other-Tech-Worlds-Are-Possible-Vol.-1-Homeless-Workers-Movement-in-Brazil-English.pdf We also have a non fiction book released last year that probably will get translated into English as well.
