Featuring: Cory Doctorow
(no term): Very anti-Zuboff's analysis from surveillance capitalism. Suggest that it's not really materially based.
(no term): 00:39:24: Talk about Doctorow's analysis as being at intersection of IT and IP. Makes a lot of sense to me - plenty of big tech's power comes from legal might. They say that legal tech like IP is often more powerful than IT.
(no term): 00:53:48: Doctorow's theory of change is build alternatives right now? And design fiction towards new regulation? Need to relisten to this.
(no term): ~01:15:23: Make use of governmental procurement in order to mandate important requirements (like reparability etc)
