About this event
How can we use the web for social good? What tools and techniques already exist, and how can we retain our rights while we use them?
In this discussion with Laura and Hey! founder Josh Nesbitt, we’ll cover technologies that improve our everyday lives as well as powering online movements, and how those same technologies can be used against us.
Over the past few years, Laura has invested her time fighting for the regulation of surveillance capitalism, while building alternatives in her work for the Small Technology Foundation. In today’s world, activism increasingly relies on technology, making now a more important time than ever to discuss how technology can be used quickly and safely to spread facts and support action.
Join us for a new live-streamed format of our regular Hey! events. In keeping with our ethos of making these events available to everyone, this will be completely free via an Eventbrite ticket registration. We also want to create a more permanent community platform for our attendees to stay connected, ask questions, network and discuss industry-related topics. With this in mind, we are launching a new permanent Hey! Slack Workspace alongside this event for people to join and contribute to. We hope this Hey! Slack can be a safe space where we can all continue to help drive things forward in our industry for the better and meet other peers in our community.
The stream will open at 17:30 and Lecture will start at 18:00 until 19:00
