thinking bible.

You asked

what current systems or practices inadvertently 'oppress' those without a voice in technology's design?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Proverbs 31:8-9

Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all those who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

These verses are part of the instructions given to King Lemuel by his mother, urging him to rule justly. They emphasize the responsibility of those in power to advocate for the vulnerable and voiceless in society.

What responsibility might those who shape technology have to 'open their mouth' for those who cannot speak for themselves?
