This was easily the most interesting conversation I have ever had. Thank you, @Snowden, for your candor about cryptocurrency, financial privacy, and the mass surveillance of the traditional banking system. And thanks for hosting, @decrypt @EtherealSummit! https://t.co/9hz6n1rjl0

Every time you see a map of European colonies in a textbook, it should be accompanied by a map of anti-colonial resistance movements.

Could we imagine a ham radio con that wasn't just mostly white senior men joking about the aging process -- but instead populated by the emerging majority young tech vanguard of color determined to use our underutilized spectrum in service of community and justice?

I kind of let this go by, but 2021 is the 20th anniv of our online film archive. This was new (6 years pre-YouTube) & pretty scary to start but thanks to @brewster_kahle and @internetarchive there are now 8500+ films online that have been seen & used 100s of millions of times.

It began with a tweet...and then I started speculating about #archives, #NFTs, #AI and the commodification of history and amnesia. This is my first piece for @wired. https://t.co/8xcRtFA4Vn

[Snowden Becker @snowdenbecker]

The use of the word “restoration” to describe what is being done to these images is WRONG. I find it deeply disturbing that there has been any positive response to this project whatsoever. (content warning: genocide) https://t.co/OMluIpEKbw
