Matteo sits down with James Muldoon to talk about who controls the digital infrastructure of everyday life, and what it would mean to take that back. They cover the core ideas behind Platform Socialism, the hidden labor that powers AI, how cities and communities are already experimenting with data sovereignty (including some surprising examples close to home in New Mexico), and why the question of platform governance is less about capital R Revolution than about the molecular, everyday politics of how our tools are designed and who they serve.
They also get into the limits of dropping out of Big Tech, the role of regulation and worker organizing, and why democracy requires deprivatizing the infrastructure and data powering our digital lives
