def tech_liberation(): teaching agency in a programmed world!
summary
Claims that universities treat computing as neutral utility and that student data worth $890B–$1.2T drives surveillance get quantified: more than 50 grad students are fired during the UC strike, Turnitin holds ~300 million papers and sold for $1.75B, and Instructure negotiates a $2B deal. Concrete responses include a platform for socializing student writing that aimed to let students design and govern tools (partly unrealized) and a functioning 2400-member noncommercial commons, an ethical-ed-tech wiki, and a remixable student privacy statement.
