Who Is Tech Really For?
Briefly

The establishment of the Polaroid Revolutionary Workers' Movement not only exemplified how workers can intervene against corporate complicity in state violence but also set a precedent for future activism.
The conflict surrounding the use of technology in warfare has deep historical roots, as seen in the antiwar efforts of groups like Science for the People, challenging the apolitical narrative surrounding scientific progress.
Both the Polaroid Revolutionary Workers' Movement and Science for the People raise important questions about the ethics of technological advancement and its use in upholding oppressive systems, emphasizing the need for accountability.
The narrative that technology is being developed for our benefit must be scrutinized, as historical examples reveal a persistent tension between technological progress and societal injustices.
