Evan “Rabble” Henshaw-Plath is a coder, activist, anarchist, and a #hacker. He is also one of the original developers of #Twitter.
Henshaw-Plath believes that, as a tech activist, his role is to promote social justice, and he is eager to empower civil society to influence politics through the use of #software. He explains how TxTMob, a platform that enabled protesters to send text messages to large groups anonymously, formed the basis of Twitter.
“Now around 288 millions people use Twitter every month sending over 500.000 million tweets a day”
