Expressions in code and freedom
•
3 likes•3,937 views
The document discusses how technology controls and limits freedom through code. It notes that increased digitalization and social media use has led to more ephemeral online activity. While social media supports some freedoms and revolutions, walled gardens and locked clouds restrict access to underlying code and information. The document argues that gaining access to code is important for maintaining freedom and democracy, and that users should understand how technology and gadgets can manipulate lives through their embedded code and information habits. It encourages people to hack for openness, educate others, and read end user license agreements carefully.
