 New GETTING-Plurality Research Network Brief "Putting Flourishing First: Applying Democratic Values to Technology" by [Kinney Zalesne](https://gettingplurality.org/2023/03/20/kinney-zalesne/) and Nick Pyati.

 In this short research brief, the authors unpack and comment on the four-step logic at the core of GETTING-Plurality’s foundational white paper, [*Ethics of Decentralized Social Technologies: Lessons from Web3, the Fediverse, and Beyond*](https://gettingplurality.org/2023/03/18/ethics-of-decentralized-social-technologies-lessons-from-the-web3-wave/). They outline four assertions from the paper that demonstrate the power and the challenge – and above all, the urgency – of placing human flourishing at the center of technology governance.
