Have you ever received political ads while scrolling on social media or watching a video online, and you wonder why? Check the Influence Industry Learning Hub to understand better the tools political actors use to convince and influence people's opinions. https://influenceindustry.org/en/learn/

@info_activism I do not get ads at all, due to very intensive ad and tracker blocking. About 80% of (mostly ignored) commercial websites don't work on my setups, but you do NOT see ads.

I literally have phones that have never shown notification ads since they were made and do not see any ads but inline ads that come from the same server on a few sites.

I have taken extreme steps to deny personal info to ad networks, at the price that my normal OS cannot be used for things like online shopping (which I do not do anyway).

Worth reading.

I don't necessarily believe that digital technology as we know it belongs to the people and that it can be a liberating force in itself - I'm a serious proponent of free and open source and various technologies based on open licences - but not because I believe that if something is open that makes it a better technology by default, it just makes it potentially less harmful and more accessible - but those features are far from enough to make it democratic, liberating and equitable, or environmentally neutral for that matter. We, the people, the users, should still try to bend technology to our needs and continue to challenge the original intentions, core design choices and predefined uses of the technology we encounter.

great work by techno-feminist collective The Bachchao Project @tbp (via @info_activism)

"Our main goal is to help people develop & use Open-Source technologies that can advance the rights of women & LGBTQIA communities. People who build technological frameworks are largely disconnected from the communities using them. There is little understanding of the issues... no effort to make the technology palatable to the communities. Our work is to reduce this gap."
