The Internet Is Getting Worse for Women but I’m Not Leaving

About this episode

Ángela George discusses the challenges and importance of women's presence in internet culture amidst rising digital risks.

In an era of internet enshitifcation, AI slop, and digital fatigue, why continue to participate in internet culture? Why do I keep staying here when even showing my face on the internet puts me at risk of digital and mental harm? I believe there is an internet worth staying for. An internet that is more creating than consuming. More empowering for women than dangerous for women. There is a corner of the internet that needs you to make it special. From my bricked Nook, to Cyberfeminism, let's talk about why women need to stay online.
