Freedom in technology must include freedom from technology.

We must not create societies where the price of admission is owning a device controlled by one of two trillion-dollar US corporations.

We must safeguard peopleโ€™s access to public services and the everyday necessities of life via alternate methods.

Technology should always be a progressive enhancement.

Do not let Silicon Valley privatise your access to modern life.

Itโ€™s been 5 months since Australian Story aired an episode on NV Access founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh. The first Australian Story episode to be audio described.

You can still watch the Australian Story episode, with Audio Description, on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sAโ€ฆ

Handing control of our biometric identities to a handful of trillion-dollar American gatekeeper corporations isnโ€™t the good news you might think it is.

(Donโ€™t forget, the W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.)

In a non-corporate world, your โ€œpasswordโ€ could be so much moreโ€ฆ It could be, for example, a mnemonic for the key to a facet of your self that you (and you alone) own and control.
