La tecnologia que es m\u00e1s accesible, por lo general, est\u00e1 ofrecidda por empresas, y es software privativo. Muchas aplicaciones seguras de mensajer\u00eda no funcionan con los lectores de celulares.<\/p>\n<p>El tema de la accesibilidad tambi\u00e9n hace que la informaci\u00f3n sea accesible a las empresas, as\u00ed que hay una tensi\u00f3n ah\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>La gente que Martu entrevist\u00f3 era muy clara en que se sent\u00eda c\u00f3moda en plataformas como Zoom, que en t\u00e9rminos t\u00e9cnicos es de las plataformas menos segura. Por eso tenemos que trabajar en la idea de seguridad. Los espacios que la gente siente m\u00e1s comodos y confortables, normalmente son los m\u00e1s inseguros. Si hablas de una plataforma como BBB, instalada en un servidor aut\u00f3nomo, ellas no se sienten seguras, porque es como una casa nueva.<\/p>\n<p>Quiz\u00e1 sea un problema de la interfaz. Cuando se ve una interfaz que no est\u00e1 pulida, no genera seguridad. Las BigTech trabajan mucho en la interfaz para favorecer esa idea de seguridad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silvia_Rivera_Cusicanqui\">Silvia Rivera Qusicanqui<\/a> explica el capitalismo ha sido muy bueno enga\u00f1\u00e1ndonos con la idea de comodidad, que nos ha quitado la posibilidad de dominio de las herramietnas. Parece que la comodidad es la herramienta m\u00e1s segura pero en realidad nos est\u00e1 arrebatando las herramietnas de la autogesti\u00f3n. Preferimos subrrogar servicios que autogestionarlos.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando hablamos de seguridad quizas tenemos que preguntarnos: \u00bfde qu\u00e9 queremos protegernos? \u00bfDe la vigilancia? \u00bfDel Covid? \u00bfDe la discriminaci\u00f3n? Porque de eso depender\u00e1n las herramientas y plataformas que usemos.<\/p>\n<p>A veces la construcci\u00f3n de espacios virtuales nos facilita tener conversaciones que en persona nos cuesta mas (porque nos que lejos, por la violencia, por el autoritarismo digital en nuestro pa\u00eds, etc.). Incluso, hay conversaciones que como persona trans o no binaria no podemos tener, incluso en espacios que se autodenominan feministass\/espacios seguros.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recursos<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zoiahorn.anarchaserver.org\/thf2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/06\/TFM.pdf\">Descargar la investigaci\u00f3n completa.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zoiahorn.anarchaserver.org\/thf2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/06\/recomendacionesA.pdf\">Descargar las recomendaciones para ofrecer espacios digitales m\u00e1s accesibles.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zoiahorn.anarchaserver.org\/thf2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/06\/recomendacionesB.pdf\">Descargar los elementos a considerar en la creaci\u00f3n de espacios (m\u00e1s seguros) en internet.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span id=\"english\"><\/p>\n<h3>English<\/h3>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Exercise<\/h3>\n<p>We started with a short exercise to understand what it meant to us to build safer spaces online:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.

The technology that is most accessible is usually offered by companies and is proprietary software. Many secure messaging applications do not work with cell phone readers.<\/p>\n<p>The accessibility issue also makes information accessible to companies, so there is tension there.<\/p>\n<p>The people Martu interviewed were very clear that they felt comfortable on platforms like Zoom, which in technical terms, is one of the least secure platforms. That&#8217;s why we have to work on the idea of security. The spaces where people feel most comfortable are usually the most insecure. If you talk about a platform like BBB installed on a standalone server, they don&#8217;t feel safe because it&#8217;s like a new house.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s an interface problem. When you see an interface that is not polished, it doesn&#8217;t generate security. BigTech works a lot on the interface to promote this idea of security.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silvia_Rivera_Cusicanqui\">Silvia Rivera Qusicanqui<\/a> explains that capitalism has been very good at deceiving us with the idea of comfort, which has taken away the possibility of mastering the tools. It seems that comfort is the safest tool, but in reality, it is taking away the tools of self-management. We prefer to outsource services rather than self-manage them.<\/p>\n<p>When we talk about security, perhaps we have to ask ourselves: what do we want to protect ourselves from? From surveillance? From Covid? From discrimination? Because that is what the tools and platforms we use will depend on.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the construction of virtual spaces makes it easier for us to have conversations that are more difficult to have in person (because we are far away, because of violence, because of digital authoritarianism in our country, etc.). There are even conversations that, as trans or non-binary people, we cannot have, even in spaces that call themselves feminist\/safe spaces.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Recommendations to create a more accessible digital space<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Check that the platform can be used with the most popular screen readers (JAWS and NVDA for desktop, VoiceOver for iOS, Voice Assistant for Android).<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Provide alternative text for images and video.<\/li>\n<li>Remember that when you share your screen the content is not available to screen readers, so make sure to provide proper description of the content or share alternative content.<\/li>\n<li>Provide subtitles for videos.<\/li>\n<li>Provide audio description in videos in which visual content is relevant.<\/li>\n<li>Consider using platforms which provide quality automatic subtitles.<\/li>\n<li>Provide sign language interpretation.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid acronyms or words that are not able to read outloud.<\/li>\n<li>Provide easy to read texts, with short and simple sentences, to reach wide audiences, specifically those without formal education.
