What may be the most heartening part of #AtmosphereConf, besides the community, is that it's a *technical* conference at which people present on politics, authoritarianism, epistemic challenges (in the opening keynote!). Because, for technologists, *that's* the job.

Photo from Ivan Sigal talk. Text from slide:

Potential to offer a structural response to primary levers of control

Coercion -> resistance

Cooption -> exit

Persuasion -> algorithmic agency

Tools for resistance

Shared truths and public data

Information and identity provenance

Data ownership

Decentralization offers resilience

Cooperative models and shared resources

State sovereignty and strategic depth for resistance

Other affordances?

What could be built?
