Miguel Afonso Caetano's Post

Hi, everyone! I'm Miguel Caetano from Lisbon, Portugal.

In the past I was a technology journalist, a professional blogger, a communication researcher and a PhD grantee. But now I work as part technical writer, part front-end developer, part software tester.

More than 15 years ago, I wrote a master's dissertation on tactical media (and, by extension, Nettime). More recently I wrote a PhD thesis on how Portuguese and Brazilian Internet users interact with file sharing/P2P networks and services.

After that I enrolled on a 14-week long coding bootcamp. Nowadays, I work for a small Portuguese company called Cult of Bits.

Anyway, I'm very interested in engaging in thoughtful conversations about topics such as: copyright, file sharing, digital piracy and intellectual property, privacy and surveillance on social media platforms, cybersecurity, network neutrality, the social and ethical implications of the deployment of artificial intelligence, internet governance, cryptocurrencies and community wireless networks, etc.

I'm looking forward to see if this is the place :)
