Do politics belong at web events? [blog]

Read Original

The article explores whether politics belong at web and tech conferences. The author, a conference organizer, contends that tech events are not 'pure tech' and that inclusivity, accessibility, and ethical stances are inherently political. They argue that a progressive, welcoming web requires engaging with political realities, and discuss how global politics, like US policies, influence European tech choices. The piece defends the inclusion of political viewpoints in talks while distinguishing them from hate speech or harassment.
