This week:
You're wasting your talent on bullshit while the world burns.
You — yes, you — can actually use your very unique set of skills for good. Even and especially at scale, even — yes — right now.
Here's What You Can Do:
• Donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://www.whatcanido.earth/action/electronic-frontier-foundation/) to help get Zuckerberg’s grubby little paws off of your data.
• Volunteer with Tech Shift (https://www.whatcanido.earth/action/tech-shift/) and start creating technology that actually contributes to the betterment of humanity.
• 🌎️ Get educated about social media, deepfakes, misinformation, and all the other internet foes by taking this Media Literacy Crash Course (https://www.whatcanido.earth/action/media-literacy-crash-course/) .
• Be heard about creating the appropriate safeguards for AI by urging your representatives to support the Algorithmic Accountability Act (https://www.whatcanido.earth/action/algorithmic-accountability-act/) .
• 🌏️ Invest in tech that reduces emissions instead of dismantling democracy using Carbon Equity (https://www.whatcanido.earth/action/carbon-equity/) .
