To defend health, housing and the environment while ignoring the digital sphere, is to abandon one of today’s main battlefields. Networks are now instruments of ideological power, social control and capital reproduction. Change must arise from articulated, collective and politicised action “from below.”
The citizen creation of alternative social networks, for example, is not merely a technical act but a social, cultural and political struggle that challenges the power and control of techno-oligarchs and the governments that serve them. It will be a slow, long process, built from the margins, and it demands patience. But every instance created, every network switched, every digital culture built outside the dominant system will be a crack in the algorithmic dictatorship
