With governments appearing unwilling to create the conditions for transparency and accountability, we must build a popular resistance and the good news is that there are many ethical, privacy-first alternatives that we could be supporting instead. This talk will cover why we need to take action and offer alternative options for cloud storage, collaborative documents, email, media streaming, social media and hardware.Want to support what we do at Watershed?
