About
The Internet Exchange is a weekly newsletter launched in October 2023 dedicated to exploring Internet governance, digital rights, and the intersection of technology and society. Areas of focus include feminist perspectives on Internet governance, privacy and security, and the implications of emerging technologies. We are also a feminist cooperative providing communications services that amplify diverse voices in public interest technology.
We work with — and feature — a broad range of public interest technologists, researchers, and advocates whose diverse perspectives help illuminate the complex and evolving dynamics of digital power. The views and opinions expressed in content published by Internet Exchange contributors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Internet Exchange. We value diverse voices and thoughtful engagement, and welcome a range of perspectives as part of a broader conversation.
