Sessions
As lockdowns and solitary confinement increase, an out of control private prison tech industry is profiteering off draconian new restrictions on access to communications: banning books, visits, and physical mail to sell a dystopian digital regime where every message is taxed and monitored on sandboxed tablets and kiosks. This talk will unpack the world of carceral technology: map out the major security corporations, what they have in store for us, and how we can fight back.

How can hackers practice global solidarity instead, working to undermine and overcome the logic of borders and cages on both the net and in the streets?
