About
Universities today rely on digital infrastructure to function. When that infrastructure is controlled by profit-driven tech giants, scientific autonomy and academic freedom are put at risk. We bring this issue to the surface by tracking news and scientific literature on FOSS adoption in universities, and by documenting the harms of proprietary lock-in.
🔀 Audience overlap
EstimatedEstimated shared audience with similar creators — useful for avoiding overlap (or doubling down) when planning a campaign.
