Technopolitics and artivism. Updated Democracy to the digital era. Political R+D method. Citizen surveillance of power

Tactics, digital tools and artivism for political action. Networked democracy, new prototypes of citizen self-organization based on pragmatism. Political R&D method to achieve a democracy of the 21st century.

In addition to being a technology, we consider the Internet as a historical era in which citizens have an obligation to harness its potential to democratize society, empower ourselves as individuals, and facilitate access to knowledge without intermediaries.
 
From our inception, at Xnet, we have been pioneers and have dedicated a significant part of our work to the development and use of digital tools, communication strategies, advocacy devices, and viral campaigns to exert pressure on various fronts, promoting the formation of an active and responsible citizenry in governance. We have played a promoting and active role in key events like the 15M movement in 2011 and many others.
 
Since 2018, we have been organizing the Postgraduate Program in Technopolitics and Rights in the Digital Era in Barcelona.
 
For several years, we have been working on tools and methodologies that the Internet teaches us, applying them to new forms of political self-organization based on pragmatism, defending justice, and effectively updating democracy in the analog world.
 
Our efforts revolve around translating the distributed (and NOT horizontal) governance of the network into an updated global governance.

Every year, private US industry lobbies exert an invasive pressure on the Spanish Executive through their Special 301 Report on countries that require special surveillance because of their disobedience to the interests of Hollywood entertainment multinationals. This report names Spain as one of its top offenders and stigmatizes the whole of Spanish society as pirates. […]

Giving music to hairdressers vs the greed that refuses to understand the future

In Spain, the SGAE charges hairdressing salons for having the radio on, and they charge radio stations for broadcasting the same content. They use a flat fee that disregards whether the material broadcast is part of its repertory or not. They charge for everything, twice over. STOP ACTA http://d-evolution.fcforum.net/
