Thank you Alejandro for your opinions and keep the great work at my forever home Access Now 💕
The most overlooked issue in tech & human rights? Indigenous governance frameworks. For centuries, communities have treated data as communal, innovation as collective benefit, and technology as inseparable from nature. Digital governance must learn from this. Thank you, Javier!
A new 7 Minute Futures is live! Alejandro Mayoral Baños from @accessnow.org joins me to talk about why indigenous wisdom is the missing piece in tech governance.

Centros de logística para gestionar humanos como paquetes.
Así es cuando las tecnológicas se alían con los Estados para la opresión.
Por eso las leyes que les dan funciones estatales (como identificación digital o censura express) son combustible de opresión futura.

I was interviewed recently on advocacy developments and tactics for 2026.
Here are some ideas from a short article that I just wrote: the terrain of advocacy is shifting and we need to change accordingly.
How are you adapting in this challenging environment?
Full post linked in the comments.
Campaigns must design for quality engagement over reach metrics, build "durable attention assets" (trust, habit, utility) rather than impressions, and embrace hybrid online/offline experiences that break digital fatigue.
Virality and mobilization are necessary but insufficient for durable change. Metrics are short-lived.
Movements must eventually develop organizational capacity (not bureaucracy), clear demands, and mechanisms for fast-paced strategic decision-making.
What do digital rights experts have to say about the future of the internet?

8/ Get politicians to act. Make sure customers, workers, and advertisers know they can challenge these companies in court. The tools exist. We just need to use them.
7/ The real work is influencing political will to enforce current legislation and raising awareness among those who could file complaints. That’s where efforts need to go.
6/ If we’re not doing it right now, it’s because politicians won’t act or because affected parties don’t know they can sue. Those are the only two obstacles here.
5/ We don’t need lengthy debates about technofeudalism or thousand-page impact reports. Demanding information about how goods and services work is common sense, legal, practical, and proportional—basic stuff in capitalist democracies.
4/ This is capitalism when it goes unregulated. Plainly that. We already have the legal tools to rein it in—consumer protection, commercial loyalty, civil code. We just need the will to use them.
