The Global Fight Against Technocolonialism

Paola Ricaurte Quijano and other guests discuss how AI extends the legacies of colonialism on The Maybe's REAL Resistance. Of the tech giants cementing their presence in Mexico, Ricaurte writes: "these companies are completely opaque, as we have seen in other contexts, and we as citizens, we don't know exactly the amount of water they consume, the cooling systems they have, or the energy they consume. We do know that they have free land, facilitated by the government. We know that they have not been requested an environmental impact assessment." She details, too, the resistance efforts led by Indigenous peoples and activists in Querétaro.
