“Alt-tech” refers to emerging tecnologia^[2] platforms that gained prominence in the 2010s, largely as a result of deplatforming^[1] actions by major tech companies like Google^[5], Facebook^[3]e Twitter^[6]. These platforms offer an alternative space for those who criticize mainstream technology giants’ control over online discourse^[4]. Alt-tech platforms have become particularly popular among right-wing communities and are often associated with the uncensored dissemination of far-right, nationalist, and extremist viewpoints. They serve as platforms for the spread of conspiracy theories and extremist ideologies, and have been used for mobilization and recruitment by far-right extremists. The rise of these platforms has prompted various legal and financial actions, and has had significant impacts on online discourse and behavior.

Definições de termos

1. ↑ deplatforming.

1 Deplatforming refers to a modern practice where individuals or organizations are restricted or removed from participating in a public forum or social media platform, often due to controversial or harmful behavior. This action, which has roots in the banning of certain speakers from U.S. university campuses in the 1940s, has evolved with the advent of social media. Today, platforms such as Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter employ deplatforming to moderate content and control the spread of extremism. High-profile instances, such as the banning of figures like Alex Jones and Donald Trump, have brought attention to its impact and stirred debates about free speech, political neutrality, and the power of tech companies. Legislation addressing deplatforming is also being considered in several countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. However, the practice remains controversial, with critics raising concerns about its effects on academic freedom and the rights of users. Despite these controversies, deplatforming continues to be a significant tool in the digital age for managing content and shaping online discourse.

2. ↑ tecnologia. A tecnologia, derivada das palavras gregas que significam ofício e conhecimento, é um termo amplo que se refere às ferramentas, máquinas e sistemas desenvolvidos pelo homem para resolver problemas ou cumprir objectivos. Com origem em ferramentas primitivas como os machados de pedra e a descoberta do fogo, a tecnologia evoluiu significativamente ao longo da história da humanidade. Foi fundamental em diferentes épocas, desde a invenção da roda e dos sistemas avançados de irrigação nas civilizações antigas até ao nascimento das universidades e da imprensa durante os períodos medieval e renascentista. A Revolução Industrial, no século XVIII, marcou uma mudança significativa na produção em massa e na inovação, dando origem a tecnologias modernas como a eletricidade, os automóveis e as plataformas de comunicação digital. Hoje em dia, a tecnologia faz parte integrante de vários aspectos da vida e da sociedade, impulsionando o crescimento económico e a mudança social, ao mesmo tempo que suscita preocupações sobre a segurança, a privacidade e os impactos ambientais. Espera-se que o futuro da tecnologia traga ainda mais avanços, prevendo-se que o aumento da inteligência artificial tenha implicações significativas no mercado de trabalho.
