September 8A little bit about us
Hello and welcome to Bot Populi! We are an alternative media platform dedicated to looking at all things digital from a social justice and Global South perspective. We aim to meaningfully shape the public discourse on digitalization and prompt important conversations about transformative change for a better digital future.
To this end, we explore how the digital world affects different aspects of our lives in obvious and unexpected ways. Our contributors include passionate and committed scholars, activists, and visionaries from around the world working on issues of digital justice.
DataSyn
In this special year-end edition of DataSyn, we feature five insightful articles that weigh in on the pressing question of information integrity in the digital public sphere. Our first piece by Deepti Bharthur takes stock of the ways in which the digital has entrenched itself within political systems, in this year of elections. Our second piece by Merrin Muhammed Ashraf analyzes whether the UN Global Principles on Information Integrity are equipped to address the structural issues plaguing media platforms. Our third piece by Seán Ó Siochrú proposes bold systemic changes for a more democratic digital information ecosystem. Our fourth piece by Christophe Gauthier makes a compelling argument for securing information integrity on digital platforms. Finally, our fifth piece by Yasmin Curzi looks to broaden the information integrity debate from a Southern feminist perspective.
