Paris Marx and Data Sov-8.png 490 KB



The United States is collapsing into an authoritarian state controlled by tech billionaires that is intent on waging economic warfare against its former allies — yet the digital technology we rely on every day for school, our businesses, and even our national security remains tightly coupled to it.

How can we start the process of decoupling? What do data and digital sovereignty look like when the United States is no longer a trustworthy ally? And how can we work internationally to protect our shared interests?

Come join Paris Marx and a panel of guests to explore these questions and start considering an alternative approach.


Paris Marx is a Canadian tech critic and host of the award-winning Tech Won’t Save Us podcast. He speaks around the world about the politics of technology and recently co-authored a white paper called Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty. Paris also writes the Disconnect newsletter and is the author of Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation.
