Freedom in technology must include freedom from technology.
We must not create a societies where the price of admission is owning a device controlled by one of two trillion-dollar US corporations.
We must safeguard people’s access to public services and the everyday necessities of life via alternate methods.
Technology should always be a progressive enhancement.
Do not let Silicon Valley privatise your access to modern life.
