Description:
The internet was heralded as a free for all democratic forum where we will come together as a global society and tackle important issues. Instead we got segregated, trapped in various digital prisons which are running 24/7 surveillance on our persons, behaviours and habits. What went wrong and how do we change the way future is bestowed upon us? What can and what must we do as a digital individual, as a group, as a society?
We sat down with an activist Chris Pinchen at the ARNES Mreža znanja conference to talk about the web of distrust, deep-fake videos, the failure of the commons idea and the ways we can all put them back together.
Chris Pinchen is a activist concerned with the levels, and extent, of surveillance in society. Chris is co-founder of the Chokepoint Project, a non-profit organisation that collects, analyses and reports on data relating to network neutrality and civil rights in the digital domain.
