Losing A/I - What's next?
As admins and organizers, in light of A/I's forced shutdown and increased repression against Palestinians and solidarity movements, what are our next steps? How can we strengthen existing hosting collectives and resist state oppression? How can we support those who need safe(r) digital services who need to migrate? Where can they migrate to? Was this an escalation of state repression against hosting collectives? Or a continuation of past events?
Join us for an evening to discuss these questions, mourn and find ways to resist.
📆 Thurs 22.10 - 19:00

We are still looking for people to give a short input on their experience - especially organizers in the Palestine solidarity movement and from existing IT collectives. write us at resist@highlyunavailable.net.
On the other hand, seems bingeing podcasts is a skill I picked up on this trip

Instagram has blocked a journalistically documented video of a teenage girl being overpowered by 3 cops as she clings to a lighting pole to resist detention. One of many videos removed.
Last month Meta’s global affairs chief apologised to India’s IT Minister over brief restriction of Modi’s video.
Modi gets an apology. A video documenting police brutality gets blocked. BJP’s troll army issues rape threats, yet I’ve never seen those accounts blocked at this pace.
Cowardice enables oppression.
I don’t usually share messages from the government but this one’s important so please pay close attention.
Today is JP's birthday. The younger generation is celebrating it in a way that would have made him proud.
I had only heard about house arrests, detentions, stopping trains and buses to arrest people, midnight raids on people's homes, and bringing the military into civilian affairs as things that happened during the Emergency. I never imagined I would witness them myself. Yet here we are. We are, for all practical purposes, living through another Emergency. #cjpprotests #cjpprotest #CockroachJantaPartyCJP

thanks to ai, saying you're "dating a model" is a lot less likely to impress anyone nowadays
