Tech that is designed for marginalized and vulnerable groups from the start is better, safer, more innovative, robust, and integrative of privacy
Afsaneh Rigot / Wired : Tweets: @maasalan , @docstefflbauer , @_carol_romero , @leeloowrites , @aliyabhatia , @steph_moore , and @slightlylate Tweets: @maasalan : Techies, if you aren't yet using #AfsanehRigot's framework for making tech safer now is the time! Read about her framework “Design from the Margins” based on her @article19org @BKCHarvard @BelferCenter research that's behind changes on @grindr & @WhatsApp. https://www.wired.com/... Dr. Nakeema Stefflbauer / @docstefflbauer : “The reality is that making better, safer, less harmful tech requires design based on the lived realities of those who are most marginalized. These “edge cases” are frequently ignored as being outside of the scope of a typical user's likely experiences.” https://www.wired.com/... Carolina Romero Cruz / @_carol_romero : “Building around the so-called typical user is a dangerous mistake. In fact, technology is better, safer, more innovative, more robust, and more integrative of privacy when those most marginalized are centered from the start of the development process.” https://www.wired.com/... Lisa is... / @leeloowrites : “It is no longer advisable to design technologies w/o designing directly for those most harmed. In fact, technology is better, safer, more innovative, more robust, and more integrative of privacy when those most marginalized are centered from the start” https://www.wired.com/... Aliya Bhatia / @aliyabhatia : “In fact, technology is better, safer, more innovative, more robust, and more integrative of privacy when those most marginalized are centered from the start of the development process.” by Afsaneh Rigot https://www.wired.com/... @steph_moore : Design challenge: what would it mean to design online / remote / distance or blended learning for thr most marginalized? I'm not sure we really know yet despite the central ethos of access. https://twitter.com/... Alex Russell / @slightlylate : Everything about this applies to performance too. Users who are at the margins in one way are also more likely to be on slower devices and networks. When we build for them, we build better for everyone. https://twitter.com/...
