Addresses how tech empowers community organizing and protest movements to combat the systems of capitalism and data exploitation that helped drive tech's own rise to ubiquity.

Our smartphones have brought digital technology into the most intimate spheres of life. It's time to take control of them, repurposing them as pathways to a democratically designed and maintained digital commons that prioritizes people over profit.

Smartphones have appeared everywhere seemingly overnight: since the first iPhone was released, in 2007, the number of smartphone users has skyrocketed to over two billion. Smartphones have allowed users to connect worldwide in a way that was previously impossible, created communities across continents, and provided platforms for global justice movements. However, the rise of smartphones has led to corporations using consumers' personal data for profit, unmonitored surveillance, and digital monopolies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon that have garnered control over our social, political, and economic landscapes.

But people are using their smartphones to fight back. New modes of resistance are emerging, signaling the possibility that our pocket computers could be harnessed for the benefit of people, not profit. From helping to organize protests against the US-Mexico border wall through Twitter to being used to report police brutality through Facebook Live, smartphones open a door for collective change.

Smoother skin in no time
I’ve been using it daily for a couple of weeks, and I really have noticed that my skin tone is more even. I had some dry patches and areas darkened by the sun, and they look much better now. It’s lightweight, but it provides good hydration all day long. For the price, I feel it’s well worth it.

Did not fade my dark spots.
This is an amazing moisturizer. I love how light and creamy it is. It goes on and absorbs well with a light fragrance. Only 4 stars because it did nothing at all for dark spots. While really sad about that I would buy again as I like it that much.

A bit thinner than expected
This body cream feels nice on the skin and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It is a little thinner than I expected for a cream, but it still leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. The scent is light and pleasant too.

Lightweight daily moisturizer for the softest skin (bonus: incredible subtle scent)
Already repurchased, will absolutely continue to be a staple in my routine. Smells amazing, lightweight texture that easily absorbs into my skin, and leaves my skin feeling so soft even a full 24+ hours later. Incredible price for the amount and quality of product. Dove you did your big one with this one.

Just an OKAY Moisturizer, That's it.
I think this is a good moisturizer, as far as anything else it claims such as an even skin tone, I wouldn’t agree. I used the bottle and didn’t notice any changes in my skin and blemish appearance. It’s not too thick and it’s not greasy. I will say I had a successful run with brightening my inner thighs. I added this to the mix, and for some reason, I began chafing leaving Little bumps in my inner thighs that turned into 50-60 dark spots 😭 I’ve never had a problem with chafing or dark spots from bumps in my inner thighs before. I’m not sure if it because I was using it in conjunction with something else it caused issues. I would recommend it as a lotion, but that’s it.
