Today is global encryption day, the annual day of action when advocates, champions, and everyday people come together to celebrate, promote, and defend encryption. @globalencryption.org We took this opportunity to ask 3 feminist organisations one question: Why is encryption a feminist issue?

What do we think at @superrrnetwork.bsky.social? Encryption is a fundamental baseline for so many rights to be exercised without fear. As our peers describe, so many potentially harmful situations wouldn‘t be able to happen if encryption is in place. (1/2)

Never underestimate the power of workers when they unite to fight for justice. Over the next 24 months, we're joining forces with 17 current and former data workers and @dairinstitute.bsky.social to build a network that strengthens solidarity across movements and borders.

Am 6.10. in Magdeburg: Allmacht der Algorithmen Wer hat die Macht, das Digitale mitzugestalten – nur Big Tech? Gestaltet die Politik mit, indem sie auf wirksame Regulierung verzichtet? Und welche Spielräume bleiben uns, den Menschen vor den Bildschirmen, in diesem Spiel der Macht?

AI Mythbusting at the Feminist Imaginaries Festival! In our workshop on Feminist Futures and AI, we’ll unpack some of the myths shaping today’s AI hype and ask what becomes possible when we stop treating dominant technologies as the only possible future.

With Luísa Franco Machado, Brazilian digital rights advocate and founder of EquiLabs, and Camila Nobrega, researcher, transmedia journalist, and writer. Moderated by Lisa Ama Schrade, with the audience bringing their own AI myths, questions, and experiences into the conversation.

On the site, you can read more about the frictions we’re seeing in the broader field of digital violence. Even among progressive groups working to end digital violence, there are a number of spaces of disagreement (which is completely understandable, given the complexity of the issues!).

Like so many of you, we’re angry, grieving, sad & disappointed at the results in Sachsen-Anhalt, where the far-right, anti-immigrant AfD party won 43.8% of the vote. We’re still figuring out exactly how to show up for the current political moment after the results on Sunday, but this much is clear:
