A 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 Editorial

As February draws to a close, the technology sector is anything but quiet. This month, we unpack the Supreme Court’s verdict on Trump-era tariffs and what it could mean for the future of digital trade politics. From there, we dive into the biggest AI developments of the moment: Claude’s sweeping new product suite and the financial turbulence it has stirred, the structural ambivalence at the heart of the AI narrative, and key takeaways from the high-profile summit in New Delhi.
