[liberationtech] What Makes a Liberation (or Repression) Technology?

[Mary Joyce]

Hi All,

I'm interested in feedback on a list of characteristics I've developed to
define a "liberation technology"

The short version:

   1. It must transmit POLITICAL INFORMATION.
   2. It must be ACCESSIBLE to a large segment of the POPULATION.
   3. It must allow for EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION.
   4. It must allow for protection of PRIVACY.

...and a repression technology has the reverse characteristics. Full post
here: "What Makes a Liberation (or Repression)
Technology?"<http://www.meta-activism.org/2011/02/what-makes-a-liberation-or-repression-technology/>

Thanks,
Mary
