Calling for a Revolution: An Analysis of IoT Manifestos
summary
Collected and coded 28 documents (2011–2017) including 28 documents (2011–2017) and eight self‑declared manifestos, the analysis shows a growing proliferation that marks a claimed “moment of crisis.” Findings name concrete values — transparency as solution, openness, sustainability and responsibility — and expose paradoxes: openness excludes, transparency is a political choice, sustainability flags hardware obsolescence. Most manifestos push responsibility onto designers and developers, rarely demand legal or judicial reform, and call for dialogue while risking individualised responsibilisation.
