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
This month we bring you a series of articles pitched along different levels of single juncture: the ways in which platformization affects questions of sovereignty, from the epistemological, to the regional, and multilateral. Our first piece takes stock of the newly adopted Global Digital Compact, and what it means for the future of Civil Society advocacy. Our second piece explores the important battles currently underway for securing the autonomy of national statistics programs from Big Tech’s influence. Finally, our third piece reflects on the dangers of exploitative platforms from the Global South.
Sections
Engage with our diverse thematic tracks examining various facets of our digital world. We explore labor issues in the digital economy, provide critiques of corporate excess and surveillance capitalism, examine feminist issues in the online sphere, investigate developments in AI and tech policy, and much more.
