Cory Doctorow — craphound.com

Author and activist writing on platform power, monopoly, and digital rights.

In plain terms: This website collects articles, books, and podcasts focused on digital rights, tech monopolies, and online privacy. You can read critical essays, listen to podcast discussions, and download free books to better understand how modern technology affects society.
