This past week in Tech + Digital Rights: You might’ve noticed some exciting things happening around fiction on our page this week! Finalist authors who contributed to our Stop Copaganda Project were announced. You can find their stories in this months’ issue of Strange Horizons Magazine: https://lnkd.in/eBNHCmRk These stories will be used to create a storytelling resource about surveillance tech in ways that avoid perpetuating law enforcement propaganda. You can learn more about this project here: https://lnkd.in/eyZP3sxJ There’s a firehose of executive orders coming from the Trump administration. - Immigrant communities (particularly those of color): https://lnkd.in/gR5q66vD -LGTBQ+ communities: https://lnkd.in/gFyXiQBw https://lnkd.in/gz5HCYUb -Environmental protections: https://lnkd.in/gG7pP3Pz ALL under attack. BUT it’s important to stay focused. What to expect: With mass deportations in effect, we can anticipate a ramp up with AI surveillance. We can also expect, along with more false promises about ceasefire, that Big Tech will continue to take every opportunity to profit from Iz-ray-elles g-side campaign. You can count on KOSA (kids online safety act) making a come-back and they’re gutting net neutrality while Big Tech oligarchs are bending the knee to Trump. What to do? For now, don’t panic. Stay informed and stay tuned- we’ll be sharing best privacy tips/tools we need to keep our communities safe soon! #digitalrights #tech #humanrights #surveillance #privacy

About us
Fight for the Future is a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that the web continues to hold freedom of expression and creativity at its core. We seek to expand the internet's transformative power for good, to preserve and enhance its capacity to enrich and empower. We envision a world where everyone can access the internet affordably, free of interference or censorship and with full privacy. Our goal—always—is to build large-scale, tech-enhanced advocacy campaigns that resonate with millions of people, enabling them to consolidate their power and win historic changes thought to be impossible. Our accomplishments are testament to the notion that with the right approach and creative activism, the public interest can prevail—even over some of the most entrenched political forces in the world.

Fight for the Future reposted this
I work with an awesome team of activists, technologists and creatives at Fight for the Future and this year we’ve got our work cut out for us! We're looking to put heads together with other aligned grassroots organizers and tech advocacy folks. Check out our priorities below!
Hey everyone, I wanted to share Fight for the Future's 2025 priorities with my network here. Would love to hear from you if you want to partner on any of these campaigns. While the path may have shifted, we still know where we’re going, and we’ll be louder and more audacious than ever in our fight to ensure that technology is a force for liberation and empowerment rather than exploitation and authoritarian power. Although news cycles will rage and platforms will grow and die, Fight for the Future will be fighting for the right stuff: for privacy and sanctuary for abortion-seekers, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ folks; against the censorship of information, communities, and art; for the ability of activists to experiment with distributed networks and build a new, better internet. Billionaire-backed politicians on both sides of the aisle want us passive, hopeless, and divided. We vehemently object. In 2025, we’ll fight the bad stuff and preserve technology that’s joyful, collaborative, protective, and alive. Do it with us. https://lnkd.in/ewfSSY2m
