I’m putting pieces of the picture together in my head and I’m just increasingly horrified by HandUp
-
then there’s other elements that seem weird, but are really just signs of the times—
the TOS restrictions on use of their scrip, the signing away of IP publicity rights
-
-
Facebook’s users are the product, HandUp’s “helped” are the product
-
HandUp exists in a hole created by problematic municipal policies that have benefited tech. And I bet it’s helped people!
-
but it’s a bit like the tech industry sawed off your foot, and then turned around and made you a sandwich
-
well, sold you a sandwich
-
okay, they made you a smartphone app in order to connect you with other users looking to get rid of their excess sandwiches

@sarahjeong i agree with most of this. i think handup itself is nobly intended, but its existence highlights a shameful effect of the tech -
@sarahjeong so handup can both be a thing that's not inherently bad but an indicator of a larger & much awfuller context in which it thrives -
@crulge agree, that’s what really repulses me - 3 réponses de plus
