pluralistic.netCory Doctorow's daily link blog is a firehose of sharp, opinionated commentary on digital rights, antitrust, surveillance, and the power dynamics of technology. He writes with the energy of someone who's been sounding alarms about Big Tech for decades and has been right more often than not. The blog runs on a strict no-trackers, no-ads policy — which feels fitting for a writer who's built his career advocating for a better internet.
Written by Cory Doctorow since 2020.
