i started programming. when i was 5. i learned to read so that i could read programming manuals. like i love about. this is a house that built with my family and we built it out of paper which is like this recycled paper. what we did was we just built the wall straight up and then we chain saw it out the hole where the windows are going to be. it's completely off the grid which means that both the communications up and down go straight to a satellite and actually try to figure how to get microwave internet which is going to all putting in 10 is on top of the mountains due to bouncing goes back and forth to try to get online so it will be a fair bit faster. living out here you have to know much more about what's going on with your property you have to know all the systems there's no passing it off in

some ways that's very aligned with hacker culture you have to get in there and see how it works. programmers are like digital superheroes everybody else gets to use the technology in their reality which we play but the programmers we get to reshape the rules the physics of our digital universe. the values of hacker culture the values social movements exist more in startups than we ever think. capitalism is an astounding belief that the most likely just

a minute will do the most reproduced of things for the greatest good john maynard keynes. was a great. as it were my favorite shirts. in the back more world less bank. beats the less for the distance. the end of the number 999. going to negotiate a new round where companies could go in and overturn the country's laws and fight countries if their countries passed laws that hurt their profits. and so there was a very large protest maybe 50000 people. dead b.t.o. was supposed to be a shining moment for seattle but as we know it didn't turn out that way. demonstrators terming trading mainland it was a centralized thing. they created the narrative and the message so in the media had

this radical concept that activists that anyone concerned about the world and social change should no longer focus on convincing journalists to cover their stories but they should make the media themselves. we have to find our own ways to get the message out revolution will not be televised by the corporate media the couple days before the protest i walked in and joined as a volunteer. at the whole protest inside just smelling the tear gas floating under the doors. building software that let people go online and publish their own. web site to staff the crowd. and that more plays grassroots politics in that they can from to come from that they're not going to young and very exciting thing is emerging here in seattle and people's opposition to the world trade organization we set it up so

that people are doing live streaming video in the streets be have laptops with all sorts of complicated network equipment published photos published video in the late ninety's that was a very rare thing to be a thing that trade agreement ended up not being passed. that moment proved to be a shift where i said ok i'm going to quit my job or try and build software for social change fold. and so i spent 4 years setting up computer labs and websites who are into globalization. so you missed the raspberry but are there still or throbber everything i can still read. my friends pat hurst he's been trying to figure out how to build technology for activism to. he had this text

message alert system for protest it was something called text. ringback in the summer of 2004 researchers produced a text model a cell phone text message broadcasting system text mob allows activists who are distributed throughout a city term in who are going to rise to during chaotic street protests the republican convention in 2004 was in new york and bush. has the money for reelection on the campaign of continuing occupation. so by this time we had any media sort of tweet like messages single said you know 150140 character long messages they were breaking news updates and we provide these every few minutes testers were able to bypass preemptive police tactics by sharing information on undercover officers and police techs mum was a bit of an improvised system but the basic idea was that users would have their

cell phones. and they would send messages to a server. going online saying i want to sign up for text mob and these are the information i want i want to be a member of this group and we had this p.h.p. web server. and appears the web server say great what's your phone number and what's your email provider in there then it would send email providers emails to the company sprint 18 th t. mobile. and that would then send a e-mail message that became an s.m.s. and those would go back and forth. the problem was 18 t. very soon discovered this and said you can't do that give us lots of money being a bunch of activists who didn't have a lot of money. we decided that we were going to do that instead what we built was

a. a sneaky system around that we build a what is called a peer to peer network. and we build a little java applet. and we put that applet in the in the media web page. and whenever we want to send an s.m.s. we send it out to all of these little applets running on many thousands of people's computers that uplift would then do the communication to the 18 t.'s of the world from a new ip address and this is all you need for saying you're not doing this anymore in 1000 pieces happily i'll deliver a couple s.m.s. is for you but not a lot and it started working and so we built this system that let us send 405-0000 s.m.s. is an hour through text mob without. having to pay for any. text in the media on the other optimism or is

a major precursor to what has become socially media. i was a broke activist traveling around living in a v.w. bus that i bought for $200.00 and i saw this contract on craigslist listing the company trying to create a new media of communication and i was like i'm all for democratizing the media all do this this is the picture. not a very good picture. but that's. that's the demo. of the original twitter and we've been video about lost. and this is the original team that got split up to work on twitter so when we divided up the teams internally who's florian. and noah.

it looks like the picture was taken in a club or something. the whole team said let's look at text messaging let's look at social networks let's look at building stuff. when we took texas up and looked at it we said well ok this is interesting but it doesn't have the social model that blogging. and so the transition from twitter to text is that that reading relationship in the a.p.i. and the openness of the web. over the summer it went on i actually personally after we launched twitter which. i didn't realize what i myself was doing by part of the team that i helped create

and hire and partially that the way the technology worked and part of its roots in text bob and other projects i didn't realize the value that went into it because you don't have to be conscious of the values that you're putting in things when you do it. this is one of those sort of the biggest commercially focused on open source conferences nonsense there's i.b.m. and there's a paper and microsoft. they don't necessarily agree conducted by politics but there's none of this like you should be shunned because you want to overthrow capitalism. are you. near. the. good.

that the couple years i worked on twitter and then seeing it grow totally changed my life. i've done a lot of interesting projects and i've traveled around the world and built lots of software. it's a foggy field of bucks if you did the box exactly. and then one day i was talking to subpoena bill about how to build software for oil rigs. and i realized that is interesting is the problem was. i had. lost track of the desire and the need to focus more directly on changing the world. and so i wrapped up my projects and everything else i said that i needed to refocus and apply the lean

startup techniques apply big data play start of technology open source all of the things back to the activist world nuts that's where i am now. heading up to seattle we're going to drop in on a new project called the. and. the norden ization and software project that's been working for a number of years to create secure communication it was a very big problem with the way our e-mail and mailing lists the way your communications work. people think that they're sending a private letter and it turns out that what they're sending are postcards. the lead team reach out to me because i'm one of the people that has bridged the gap

between the activist world and the startup world. there are not a lot of anarchists angel investors and so they wanted to find someone who could advise them on and raising money on being a viable start up all the same time knowing that they don't want to abandon the larger busy political vision of why they're doing. it. and it's it's really unique important to have the capacity to

organize without all of your information being completely exposed and i think it's an egg. essential question for social change and no i don't think that it will be possible in the future without the capacity to communicate securely whether it's behavior tracking whether it's business intelligence or what are other forms of analytics it is the data that mattered not. on what most people in the tech read the radical took me to do. i've worked with in that sort of world i really go the whole works the people who are dollar big. they're going to stumble into more efficient solutions than the people who use intuition i guess taking a step back i would say all aspects of governance are increasingly becoming

systems of code and analysis and data and certainly the lesson out of the dot bomb of 2000. when the nasdaq internet stocks a version of their value in a week was that the companies left standing were the ones with the biggest databases and so that trance that lesson and that transformation has led to this current rise of surveillance as a business but surveillance is really a subset of this process of. social control through data and. to go and work for silicon valley is not selling out in the sense of like oh that band used to be cool and they sold out and made money it's not it's not like selling out it's like switching sides. using our labor it's very important to be building something that is not potentially part of

a dark distance. and you go and work for silicon valley the current game is building technology that could be used for talent terry and social control. but if you don't collect data if you don't want to experiment and get the stats of it then. you determine that it's good. to achieve the larger political aims it needs to be something that exists and you get widespread adoption and that's a that's a company in this world. you know i spent 5 years travelling around setting up protests and building community centers and technology for activist groups with the goal of changing the media and the project which i told my friends i was selling out work at the start up a larger effect of transforming the media. twitter

. facebook or twitter it's a very good way for communication has no power control for maybe one it looks like the media like the t.v. i want to get some t.v. or whatever the are controlling everything now we get if you're going to i just make a capsule any bid you will for pictures i just upload it very little actual protests are coordinated on twitter. but the public speech and the personal feeling about them is completely different. i. let people share ideas and me and share photos and share videos and shape the media and shape their own narratives.

only activists only people who wanted to achieve social change use a technology that it's very easy to get rid of so in the case of text mob it was easy to eventually block and shut it down because people only used it at protests but when people used twitter of protests twitter got used for lots of other things . to transform the world in the way we make social change we need the tools of social change be used enables everyday lives for things that have nothing to do with social change.

with the chaos computer club camp camp and every 4 years it's where the european opportunity fits together and things out play. and connects with each other in a face to face real world. and this is the community that created me he leaks this is a community they created tor is a you know a community that says that privacy is important and this is the the the communities that built the internet. it's a campaign with power cables and computers long as it doesn't rain it's great the rains it's everybody rushed to hit the circuit breakers and turn off the power is all that and. what i want to know. what do you think we should do but just be

brutally honest about how we should get in and encrypted e-mail into the hands of let's say a 1000000 let's say a 1000000000 people and i like what should we do like next next month be next year needs to. launch products under different names with different designs with different sales pitches and everything else to see what people will sign up for you would basically say let's build 2 web pages of the one who let's begin with like i think when you think it was at 11 web pages here's a v.p.n. is great and we see a sign up for that name another pages of e-mails great and we see how many people sign up for that everything will thing you think you can do in the lead cloud for and make you launch before you. you build it. the start up world has figured out how to do stuff and do things that make their software work better and

we think that selling out. if you don't do the experiments at all you'll never build something that gets used but i think like the problem is. with the people here is because they know that the kind of realize that the start up stuff might work a magician techniques there but when they see start up people and they see that the people who work in start are directed primarily by money or by fame i mean everyone here is camera shy no one who wants to be famous people want to be anonymous and thus like i kind of think that that actually is causing all of this weird. paradox of the like we know and already we need in order to be successful as revolutionaries we need everyone to use the stuff i think that's like the disconnect is almost ethical dest disconnect but it's not necessarily disconnect of

the techniques with them so. i want to talk a little bit about why people are using start ups or corporations communications of where and why they're not using us and in particular i want to encourage us to steal ideas and techniques from from the capitalists in the start of community. it's a race that we face it's a race between different applications to get security limitations we need to win the race and right now. we're not going to win that race. right now we have all these different projects very bravely in valley fighting out there and we're not learning quickly. so we need we need to build things that people use we need to build things that people want to build things that people look. at as software

developers as people who work in startups as people who care about the future of the world we have to look at where technology is being built how it's being built what values go into it because those are the values that will then shape future. airborne vehicles harvesting every pick you take every click. click to get everything all the way so. it's time to watch the what. we blame it on the deep sleep the 1st civilian. and creator of. all. the engineers. just. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as

a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be pushes you know steady tendency to believe but together because you have a lot of people that don't give a did on political issues. of people believe to tell the real story so i'll just mandate is to deliver in-depth generalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. she was black gay i'm from rio de janeiro's for vallas i don't think she was also an elected outspoken councilwoman. until she was assassinated. people in power investigates the killing of a vocal critic of brazil's security forces and the legacy of empowerment she left behind the magic of mario franco on out using a. global food production is wasteful and it's straining our planet.
