Mining for the green revolution – can it be fair?
About this event
What are the true costs of the internet and the digital space, data,servers,mining? Can we have a really just green transition -or do we need to do different things differently?
a) The role of the internet in driving social justice in 2022:The Potential for the Internet in Driving Social Justice-Can it be fair- ? an issue for our times
The internet is a powerful tool. The wide potential for democratisation and social justice are evident, yet many of these movements have failed to develop into real social change. Paradoxically, the same tools with the potential for social justice have fuelled the very opposite. To effectively utilise the power of the internet for social justice, we must navigate these problems and understand how detrimental outcomes materialise. This session will explore the conflicting realities of the nature of the internet and offer solutions for reclaiming it as a tool for social justice.
Since its inception, this power has been recognised for its potential in driving social justice in a variety of ways. A space to bring together new or marginalised communities despite geographical boundaries; a public sphere for debate and deliberation; a means to spread information and hold power to account; and a platform for the organisation and mobilisation of incipient social movements; and various technologies enabling social change.
