@onepict @anna I'm sure DAIR are on your list already, but worth highlighting that it's a global group, so they're a great filter for getting that wider view, alongside the story of USA and European policy
DAIR Institute
The Distributed AI Research Institute is a globally distributed organization of academics, activists, and engineers conducting community-rooted research.

@craignicol DAIR are awesome and thanks for suggesting them, especially because they run their own fediverse instances.

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?

Like seriously, if you have a suggestion please reply. I'm enthusiastically asking.

@onepict not Fediverse, but Rest of World provides a useful corrective:

@onepict 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 -

The community is broadly interested in resisting tech authoritarianism, using open technology for societal good, ensuring digital freedom, and preserving democracy in our anti-democratic technological age.
I think the best way to get an idea is to look at the talks from the previous g0v summit (@summit) from 2024: https://summit.g0v.tw/2024/agenda/

thank you for my sharing my essays! I’ll resume writing them this year. I’m almost done with my first paper submission (also on software freedom and social participation)! -

@onepict 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.
