    Racial Justice: Decode the Default. Read by Lou Huang

    "Technology has never been colorblind. Since the beginning of the  internet, calling out racial inequities of data and algorithms means  facing denials and backlash. It’s time to abolish notions of “universal”  users of software and beneficiaries of digital rights."

    ¿Qué cara tiene un internet saludable? [Episodio en español]

    ¿Qué cara tiene un internet saludable? [Episodio en español]

    Cuando nos dispusimos a reunir historias y momentos de internet que fueran saludables o preocupantes en 2020 nos tocó conversar y reflexionar con las personas que colaboraron en el Informe sobre cómo se ven y se reconocen los momentos saludables en internet. Los momentos preocupantes sí se vieron con claridad (y además, nos llovieron). Con las historias que mostraran momentos saludables la cosa fue un poco más complicada. 

    Por eso, en esta conversación exploramos las diferentes maneras en las que se manifiesta la salud de internet. 

    Para expandir nuestros horizontes llamamos a Marianne Díaz, a Erick Huerta, a Julio Gaitán y a Fátima Valdivia a que nos contaran qué era para ellos un internet saludable. 

    Este proyecto en audio forma parte de un apéndice del Informe de Salud de Internet 2020 y su sección especial con 120 experto/a/es de internet. En esta sección encontrarás las más de 200 historias con momentos saludables e insalubres en 2020, y también muchísimas ideas sobre cómo podemos sanear el internet en 2021.

    El Informe tiene una sinopsis especial en español con los análisis más importantes. Esta sinopsis incluye una compilación hecha por Eeva Moore con acciones concretas que pueden llevarse a cabo en colectivo y también a nivel personal.   

    ¿Cómo se ve desde tu perspectiva un internet saludable? Déjanos saber por mensaje de voz o a través de nuestras redes.
