Faszyzm a technologia
W amerykańskim mieście Charlottesville doszło do tragedii - zwolennik białych nacjonalistów (albo po prostu faszystów) wjechał w tłum kontrdemonstrantów. Zginęła 32-letnia Heather Heyer, a rannych zostało 19 innych osób. W kilka dni po tym wydarzeniu czołowe firmy technologiczne (Apple, Google, Facebook) zaczęły blokować profile, systemy płatności, usuwać profile kojarzone z nacjonalistami. Przez jednych zostało to odczytane jako opowiedzenie się po stronie antyfaszystów - przez drugich jako zaburzenie równowagi i cenzurę.
Jakby tego było mało okazuje się, że czarnoskórzy użytkownicy Ubera i Lyfta są narażeni na częstsze odmowy przejazdu, cyfrowi asystenci nie potrafią rozróżnić wypowiadanych przez nich komend a automat dozujący mydło "nie widzi" czarnoskórej ręki i przestaje działać.
Z jednej strony posiadamy coraz lepszą technologię a z drugiej okazuje się, że wyeliminowanie faszyzmu czy poglądów niezgodnych z prawem jest właściwie niemożliwe. Do walki z daną technologią można stworzyć kontr technologię. Usunięcie profili faszystowskich z Facebooka nie spowoduje, że znikną ludzie, którzy maszerują z hitlerowską swastyką. Cenzura internetu nie sprawi, że ludzi wygłaszający haniebne komunikaty pod kątem uchodźców zmienię swoje zdanie.
Co zatem trzeba zrobić - wbrew pozorom nie odcinać, wymuszać zejście do podziemia i ukrywanie się. Rozmawiać, badać i kontrolować oraz edukować - wbrew pozorom żadna technologia nie zastąpi starej, dobrej rozmowy twarz w twarz i rzeczowej dyskusji.
Utopia? Nic chyba nam nie pozostaje innego.
