Conscience Over Convenience: A Digital Hijrah

About this episode

Waheed Jensen discusses his decision to leave Big Tech services due to their involvement in human rights violations and encourages others to pursue digital ethics.

In this short but urgent episode, I share why I’ve chosen to leave Big Tech services like Google (among others) in light of their complicity in human rights violations and global injustices. As Muslims - and as human beings - we have a moral obligation to act. I’ve moved to Proton Mail and begun supporting ethical, open-source alternatives. I invite you to begin your own journey toward digital ethics. Updated contact information: - A Way Beyond the Rainbow email address: awaybeyondtherainbow...
