Podcast

Announcing Resist and Reboot, a new podcast looking at the intersection of community building/organising and data governance. Through this series, we learn how civil society actors are shaping data governance and building more grounded approaches to regulation.

 The podcast unpacks:

  • The role played by communities and civil society organisations (CSOs) in protecting digital rights
  • The strategies and methods used by CSOs to participate in, influence, and challenge policymaking around data governance
  • The community-building practices that inform the creation of an ecosystem that safeguards digital rights
  • Everyday challenges faced by CSOs working in the digital rights space.

About the project

Places and populations that were previously digitally invisible are now part of a ‘data revolution’ that is being hailed as a transformative tool for human and economic development. Yet this unprecedented expansion of the power to digitally monitor, sort, and intervene is not well connected to the idea of social justice, nor is there a clear concept of how broader access to the benefits of data technologies can be achieved without amplifying misrepresentation, discrimination, and power asymmetries.

We therefore need a new framework for data justice integrating data privacy, non-discrimination, and non-use of data technologies into the same framework as positive freedoms such as representation and access to data. This project will research the lived experience of data technologies in high- and low-income countries worldwide, seeking to understand people’s basic needs with regard to these technologies. We will also seek the perspectives of civil society organisations, technology companies, and policymakers.
