Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

[REUPLOAD] Digital rights and the EU

Q: Why do you think policy makers are not inviting communities affected towards civil society?

They're not invited because the goal is not to cater to them; efficiency is prioritized over serving community needs.

[REUPLOAD] Digital rights and the EU

Q: What's your experience on the power dynamics behind digitalization?

A lot of research shows that internet governance fora are extremely difficult to access for civil society in the global majority.

[REUPLOAD] Is gentrification a dirty word?

Q: What should we, as privileged middle class people, do to prevent situations where we end up with mass evictions?

Rita encouraged joining collective action groups focused on housing issues, emphasizing the need to politicize oneself and engage critically with mainstream political narratives.

[REUPLOAD] Is gentrification a dirty word?

Q: Could you try to deconstruct the term gentrification? Is it even a term that you use in your work?

Rita mentioned that while they sometimes use the term gentrification, it feels technical and not easily understood by the general public, so they prefer to use terms like 'right to housing'.

[REUPLOAD] Let's talk about digital gender based violence

Q: Can you give us an example of a non-consensual sharing of intimate videos or images or a specific case that made a big impact on you?

An impactful case involved a group of men sharing intimate pictures of women without consent, highlighting that the issue is about control and not women's behavior.
