ORG at 20: Cory Doctorow in conversation with Maria Farrell

Podcast · Guest appearance on Open Rights Group · Listen

  • Cory Doctorow, a founding member of the Open Rights Group, will discuss his writing and critical analysis of Big Tech’s impact, focusing on “surveillance capitalism” and the degradation of digital platforms.
  • A central concept to be explored is the “enshittification” of digital platforms, which describes their decay as they extract more value from users and providers, a topic from his upcoming book.
  • The conversation will also address the pervasive influence of “Big Tech monopolies” and the mechanisms of “surveillance capitalism.”
  • The event aims to explore practical strategies for “fighting back” against these dominant monopolies, drawing on Doctorow’s insights, such as those presented in The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.
