‘GDPR will pop the adtech bubble’
“tracking people without their knowledge, approval or a court order is just flat-out wrong. The fact that it can be done is no excuse. Nor is the monstrous sum of money made by it.”

Reasons To Be Cheerful
Had a lovely conversation over the weekend on surveillance capitalism (and what we can do about it) with Ed Miliband, Geoff Lloyd, and Mathew Lawrence for Ed and Geoff’s Reasons To Be Cheerful podcast. Shoshana Zuboff was also interviewed for the episode.

Design or decoration?
Designers, developers, engineers… are you building tools that just empower people or shiny, addictive traps that farm them? Are you part of the problem or the solution?

#Populizmus nie je nič nové. Je spätý s fungovaním demokracie od jej úplných začiatkov. Dnes je však jeho sila násobená pomocou sociálnych sietí a internetu. Populistickí #politici tak môžu ľahko a vo veľkom zasievať svoje populistické sľuby a predstavy hlavne medzi mladých ľudí.
Cieľom tohto projektu je využiť tie isté technológie a postupy, ktoré populizmu pomáhajú rásť. ...
