Designing the feminist internet | Charlotte Webb | TEDxBarcelonaWomen

Charlotte Webb was speaker at TEDxBarcelonaWomen 2018 - #TheBraveUs on November 30th.

By becoming the most powerful technology in human history, she taught us a world-changing lesson. We all are the internet, and because we all make it what it is today -a sexist one-, we can and should change it into a feminist internet.
