'Technology Freedom Cooperative' To Build Infrastructure for Human Rights and Justice Groups
About this episode
The episode discusses the launch of the Technology Freedom Cooperative aimed at helping human rights and social justice organizations protect their data and technology infrastructure.
How can human rights and social justice advocates and investigators protect their data and technology infrastructure in an age of rising authoritarianism in the United States and abroad? Earlier this month, a coalition of human rights, justice, and data organizations launched the Technology Freedom Cooperative , a project designed to help nonprofit organizations protect evidence, reduce their dependence on big tech platforms, and "build independent capacity to work with large language models." Justin Hendrix spoke to two of its members, Maheen Khan , director of technology at the Invisible Institute, and Patrick Ball , director of research at HRDAG.
