If Tech Fails to Design for the Most Vulnerable

"...No small fixes can address the larger and deeply rooted structural issues that foreground how these technologies are deployed or weaponized. However, in centering, consulting, and understanding the legal, social, and political issues that impact decentered and marginalized groups, some protections can be provided. Reimagining the importance of cases that deviate from the so-called typical technology user and placing them at the center of the design process is not a revolutionary concept. It's a core basis for many industries. In terms of safety and security, it should be seen as a corporate responsibility in developing tech. As one of the Tunisian lawyers from the Digital Crime Scenes report frames it. “We are in your application, you must protect us,” and when you do, you’re protecting all of us." (Wired, 15 May 22)
