Did you ever think that PERHAPS many of us from the global South don't feel like the mainstream has to "include" us, and that many of us want to end with that power imbalance where there is an actual mainstream deciding who to include or to exclude? #chi2022
Did you ever think that the global South is not a monolithic entity and that diversity is HUGE across countries, cultures, social classes, just as there is in the global North. Inequalities are everywhere on Earth, look closer within your own privileged communities. #chi2022
People in the global South, just like people in the global North, don't have just the 2 reductionist options consisting in a) hiding from surveillance capitalism or b) hiding from your family/close community. Life everywhere is so freaking nuanced and privacy is complex! #chi2022
People in the global South, just like people in the global North, or anywhere, shouldn't be ever viewed as untapped markets -- be it in the name of social good or in the name of innovation. Enough with markets. Enough with naive remixes of colonialism & capitalism. #chi2022
