Scuttlebutt can be transformative for society, decentralizing and enabling local community development. Perfect for environments which require offline workability.

A talk given at the Algorithmic Sovereignty summit during Techfestival in Copenhagen. The talk touches on how Scuttlebutt can be used to regain some sovereignty over how data is shared and bring transparancy to the algorithms that runs on the data.

Nesta palestra você vai descobrir quais são esses sinais, o que vai acontecer nos próximos anos, e como uma alternativa à internet está sendo criada, usando apenas JavaScript.
