Hak-hak digital dan kebebasan berekspresi, berbicara dan berkumpul berada di bawah ancaman di mana-mana – dari rezim otoriter hingga demokrasi liberal, dan antar spektrum politik.
Pandemi COVID-19 menjerumuskan kita lebih dalam ke dunia digital, di mana toleransi terhadap perbedaan pendapat tampaknya berkurang seiring pengawasan dan sensor teknologi perusahan besar meningkat. Mimpi utopis tentang dunia baru yang positif yang lahir dari internet tampaknya sudah lama berlalu – masa yang lebih berbahaya dan diperebutkan telah tiba, dunia yang lebih mengancam dan terpecah yang mencerai-beraikan kita daripada menyatukan kita.
Tech Tales bertujuan untuk menyoroti ancaman yang sedang berkembang ini, sekaligus meninjau kembali kemungkinan bersama yang masih bisa ditawarkan internet melalui advokasi yang luas dan berdedikasi.
