We are living in a time when the very platforms we rely on to tell our stories are also the ones silencing us and spreading misinformation or worse, justifying our extermination.
Social media was supposed to democratize information. It promised us visibility, community, and voice. But for those of us who have always been marginalized—by borders, by race, by gender, by systems designed to erase us—these platforms have become another site of extraction. It’s become a place where our grief is content. Where our resistance is suppressed. Where our culture is scrapped to train artificial intelligence systems that will one day reproduce our knowledge, without us.
