DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades\, Digital Public Infrastructures have
  become central to most policy debates\, especially in Global South countr
 ies that have come to use them for a variety of purposes. But like any dat
 a-driven platform that mediates between two sides of a transaction\, DPIs 
 are just as vulnerable to digital rights violations\, more so\, in fact\, 
 given their scale\, state backing\, and multi-channel deployment. \n\nThis
  talk is precisely about identifying\, understanding\, and navigating thes
 e violations in the political and economic context of our time. I attempt 
 to historicize the functioning of these techno-legal ecosystems and convey
  how their most essential features — data sharing\, digital service deli
 very\, and private sector integration — risk excluding\, marginalizing\,
  and exploiting the same communities they aim to support. The goal is not 
 to abandon the utility of these innovations\, but to reflect on their purp
 ose\, design\, and use\, and move towards futures rooted in principles of 
 openness\, equity\, and fairness.
