"We're here because of the blood, sweat and tears and the work of people who didn't fit in, and decided rather than fight against the system, we're going to build a new one. That's very important to recognise when you're benefiting from these new applications and this new technology.'

How #Hackers Are Fighting Back Against #ICE
ICE has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on #surveillance technology to #spy on anyone—and potentially everyone—in the United States. It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against such an overwhelming force. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

In 2018 this paper reframed a major chapter of computing history in a way that's more apparent and relevant today.
The paper traces the ideological roots of Seymour Papert's constructionism and Logo, as well as projects his work influenced such as Scratch and OLPC, to the MIT hacker culture. It also explains the fall from grace of the theory in the education world, but notably not in the technology world, as a consequence of that culture and its disconnect with the wider social implications.
