By challenging the dominant narratives and power structures perpetuated by algorithms, we can reclaim our agency and create a more just and equitable society. This requires a willingness to engage in algorithmic sabotage, to disrupt the status quo, and to challenge the authority of code.

Proponents like Eamon Costello and others involved in the movement suggest that algorithmic sabotage is a way to reclaim spaces for ethical action from "generalized thoughtlessness".
