A quick plug for our Digital Rights In Australia report ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/17… and ongoing research in Oz and Asia digitalrightsusyd.net/research/digit… #RightsTechAU @ggoggin @kim_weatherall @ariadne_syd

The tech revolution again. Useful for mustering critical mass of citizens & others to advance rights & redesign tech. But is ‘revolution talk’ part of problem? #RightsTechAu
