A Post-Western Digital Rights Manifesto
February 2025
In an era where digital spaces have shifted from tools of liberation to arenas of surveillance and profit extraction, it’s time to reclaim technology for the collective good.
During our #RightsCon2025 session «Decolonising Digital Rights & Data», we introduced our blueprint for digital liberation; and we now present it to you all, the ‘Post-Western Digital Rights Manifesto’, which serves as a living document, reflecting our commitment to solidarity, equity, and justice in the digital realm.
We acknowledge that technology has the potential to empower us all, but it must be transformed from a tool of capitalist exploitation into a commons, governed by and for the people.
📢 Together, let’s foster a digital landscape that prioritises community empowerment and dismantles oppressive structures. This manifesto is just the beginning of our journey towards a just and equitable digital future!
✊ The fight for a decolonized digital future starts now. Let’s build a world where digital spaces empower communities—not corporations or oppressive states. Read, embrace, and share the Manifesto. Together, we dismantle oppressive structures and reclaim our collective power.
