Why we’re (@the_sicut_dico) protesting Tesla in Berlin — and why it’s bigger than Tesla.
💧 Water theft. 🌍 Greenwashing. 💣 War tech.
This is art as protest.
A sonic ritual of refusal.

“...future electronic monitors will incorporate facial recognition along with other forms of surveillance and data gathering steeped in race, gender and class bias.”

Everybody googles everything all the time.
This is why we need to pay attention to this trial against @Google because Google holds so much power in what search results we do and don't see. #TechIsNotNeutral
BREAKING: The U.S. government’s monopoly trial against Google has started.
It's the biggest tech antitrust case of the 21st century.
The Justice Department will argue that Google is a harmful monopoly that has illegally abused its power.
From digital organizing to hacktivism, tech can be a force for good.
We shouldn't shy away from embracing technology. We should be concerned with wresting power from Big Tech, for whom the purpose of tech, regardless of its consequences, is to make $$$. #TechisNotNeutral
#AWS also has the power to surveil & punish Black, Indigenous, Muslim, disabled & all marginalized communities through its state-funded tech. But we have the power to shut it all down. #TechIsNotNeutral
AI er også disruptiv i utdanning. I denne teksten argumenterer vi for at verdiene og kunnskapen vi ønsker å formidle i undervisningen, skal veilede valg av teknologi og hvordan vi skal bruke teknologi, ikke omvendt. #sustainableAI#techisnotneutral@NORAdotAI
Once again, Facebook is showing us that #TechisNotNeutral. Facebook has:
✅ Removed posts about abortion care
✅ Made money from dangerous abortion disinformation
✅ Banned employees from discussing abortion at work
✅ Handed over user data to police

This is a win for all organizers & civil rights advocates who have been keeping pressure on Meta and drawing attention to Big Tech's biases and over reliance on algorithms that reinforce discriminatory outcomes. #TechisNotNeutralnytimes.com/2022/06/21/techn…
This week, 42 Congressional lawmakers signed onto a letter urging @Google to stop collecting user location data that could identify people seeking abortions.
In the fight for reproductive justice, Big Tech must be held accountable. #TechIsNotNeutralcnbc.com/2022/05/24/google-d…
This is a big week for tech accountability.
Today, @Meta, @Amazon, & Twitter have their annual shareholder meetings.
It's past time for these companies to reckon with how their policies have harmed communities across the globe, especially Black & brown people. #TechisNotNeutral
Amazon not only treats its own workers terribly but they've just been exposed as using 5 suppliers that rely on forced Uyghur labor in "reeducation centers." #TechisNotNeutralengadget.com/amazon-supplier…
This is a good reminder that tech issues and climate issues are deeply interconnected. Because when Facebook fails to run their platform well, it affects all of us. #TechIsNotNeutraltheverge.com/2022/2/20/22943…
How many Black & brown lives will be at best, more vulnerable to debt & legal barriers, and at worst, endangered before the State realizes that tech is a barrier, not a solution? #TechIsNotNeutral#BanFacialRecognition
New: The IRS wants to scan your face. You'll need to send a "video selfie" to a private contractor to see your tax account. Researchers are worried about bias and privacy, but the company's chief says critics are spreading "propaganda" wapo.st/3rX8ECh
Facebook fuels white supremacy & mishandles our private information, but they don’t care as long as they continue to profit. Together, we'll fight back against their toxic business model. Take the pledge to log out: thefacebooklogout.com/form/m…#TechIsNotNeutral#FireZuck
Facebook profits off our information. We're their entire business model, and we have the power to grind them to a halt.
Add your name to join us in the #TheFBLogOut on November 10th: thefacebooklogout.com/form/a…
Or as our National Organizer Brandon puts it: "Why do they need to recognize your face when they plan on tracking your face and entire body? They aren't moving away from FR, they are moving towards fully embodied surveillance." vice.com/en/article/88g9vv/z…#techisnotneutral#firezuck
