La comunicación para la justicia social en la era digital

The document outlines the challenges and opportunities of digital technologies from a social justice and theological perspective. It identifies systemic inequalities—such as digital divides, gender-based violence online, and the 'attention economy'—and proposes a set of communication rights and principles to create a digital ecosystem based on equity, transparency, and the common good.

• Digital platforms are characterized by an 'attention economy' where a small number of companies monetize user data and time, turning users into commodities for political and economic gain.
• Algorithmic systems often perpetuate and worsen existing systemic inequalities, reflecting historical patterns of racism, colonization, and power imbalances.
• The 'digital divide' is multifaceted, encompassing economic, geographic, racial, educational, class, gender, age, and cultural-technological gaps, which in turn necessitate a cross-sectoral approach to digital justice.
• Women and girls face specific digital risks, including sexualized harassment, trolling, and hate speech, which can lead to physical violence and the silencing of women in digital spaces.
• Digitalization introduces ecological justice concerns, specifically regarding the consumption of resources and the practice of planned obsolescence.
• The document proposes a framework of communication rights, including the right to equitable infrastructure, privacy, data control, cultural and linguistic identity, and access to sustainable energy sources like solar or wind power to operate digital devices.
