Feminist tech is not just about who’s in the room. ♀️
It’s about what kind of world we’re designing for, and how to challenge industry norms and build towards it.

In Episode 5, I spoke with two brilliant Berlin-based thinkers: Marie Kochsiek who co-founded Drip, an open-source and inclusive period app🩸; and Elisa Lindinger, co-founder of feminist tech hub Superrr Lab 🌐

Amongst all the current issues and concerns with digital surveillance and Big Tech, Episode 5 is a space for hope.

Audio Caption: “For me, feminist tech means creating a safe space - a technical and digital safe space - which in our case means local storage only, there's no cloud, there's no data being shared with anyone” — Marie Kochsiek, Episode 5

Our personal #data isn’t a product to be auctioned off.

When social networks sell it to third‑parties, they erode #privacy, fuel surveillance, and undermine trust in online communities.

Protecting user data isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a matter of dignity and #social health. We deserve platforms that keep our data safe, not profit from it. #dataprivacy #safety #socialmedia

My employer (a German university) is trying to force me to permanently run Zoom X on my laptop because they are replacing the office telephones by Zoom. I'm unhappy about this. I guess that Zoom will at the very least collect meta data. With Zoom being a US company the secret service might also have access to basically everything Zoom collects.

Since I'm already using Zoom for video conferences (nothing I can do about that for the moment), what difference would it make to run Zoom X permanently in the background compared to just using Zoom when I have a video call?
Has someone looked into specifically Zoom X from a privacy point of view?
Is there a good article or blog post that you would recommend?

:boost_request:

(I should probably add that we are talking about my own device here. The laptop I use does not belong to my employer. Furthermore, nobody except for this one person who somehow got the wrong impression that I'm the examination office of the geology department ever contacted me via my office phone number. Hence, this whole Zoom X thing is completely pointless from my point of view.)

Edit: typos, more details

Edit 2: Please don't tell me to simply not install Zoom X. That was not my question.

We know the problems. Now let’s plant the seeds for solutions 🌱

In Episode 5 of The Digital Period, I explore what comes after all the critique with Marie Kochsiek (co-founder of Drip, an open-source period app) and Elisa Lindinger (co-founder of feminist tech hub Superrr Lab).

Together, we discuss how to make room for possibility, care, and radical hope in our tech future.

What would technology look like if it were rooted in care, consent, and autonomy?

WhatsApp's ex-cybersecurity chief alleges in a new lawsuit that Meta ignored major data access flaws, enabling 1,500+ engineers to view user data without oversight. Claims retaliation followed after raising issues to execs including Zuckerberg.
