It examines the many features these platforms offer, and how these features might condition behaviour online in often limiting, sometimes even detrimental ways. + +Each year, first-year XPUB students produce three publications—Special Issues. Special Issue \#22 'Protocols for an Active Archive' involved making weekly broadcasts at Radio Worm. While taking part in this project, Senka and Riviera encountered a tricky scenario. They needed to cut up audio from a previous broadcast into several sections. As they did not have access to the audio file, they turned to the recording of it that was available online, only to encounter a limitation while trying to fetch the recording—there was no download feature. + +Ironically, Riviera and Senka found out (a bit too late) that there was a command line programme capable of downloading audio recordings from the platform. But in the absence of this knowledge, they decided to create this publication to share their grievances about (mostly social) media platforms instead. +The consensus of the publication is that many online platforms are egregious, not only because of the limitations they have, but because these limitations have actual political consequences. +\bigskip +{\switchtobodyfont[compagnon,12pt] {\tf {\kerncharacters[0] Reading Instructions}}} + +All of the content, both the maps and texts, are made to be reshuffled by flipping the pages and creating a non-linear reading.
