Check out: Defund Big Tech, Refund Community https://t.co/0LTe4DUeop for a great break-down of the myths underlying Silicon Valley's massive and expanding monopolies on wealth and infrastructure, and the urgent need to redistribute that $ and infra back to communities

It certainly is the time for "Defund Big Tech, Refund Community: Anti-Trust is Not Enough, Another Tech is Possible" https://t.co/IaVrwLRkNd #TechOtherwise

Brilliant talk by @msurman, esp. about strengthening collective data rights. Mark also highlighted the need for better resourcing Cdn Privacy Commissioners so they can keep up with the growing challenges. Without that even the finest Charter of Digital Rights will be hollow.

I stand with @mozilla, @ADL, @ColorOfChange and many more asking @Facebook to #StopHateForProfit. Do you @Disney? https://t.co/vAoRIKBz9B

The discussion should be esp. interesting in light of Sidewalk Labs pulling out of Toronto, opening up the field for positive alternatives.

The Smart City in a Digital World by @Vmosco is invaluable to understanding what is driving smart city developments and what more positive alternatives might look like. Particularly relevant to the @SidewalkToronto project #BlockSidewalk https://t.co/whBdbGWbcX
