"We now have to start acting like we live in East Germany and Instagram is the Stasi."
[correctly: German Democratic Republic]

"Forget the killer robots, if you want to know what the first grade of AI apocalypse is, we're already living it: it's total information collapse."

“We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she decries the rise of the “broligarchy” — the powerful tech executives who are using their global digital platforms to amass unprecedented geopolitical power, dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world. Her rallying cry: resist data harvesting and mass surveillance, and support others in a groundswell of digital disobedience. “You have more power than you think,” she says.

#Digital vs. #Democracy
Not tech! People building first!

#Tech people are blind basically building the future trouble.

People, not so much tech!

#Broligarchy = #TechBros + #Oligarchy

Carole Cadwalladr returns with a #TED talk and asks to not mince words any longer, and see the happenings in the US for what they are: a #DigitalCoup. It's a chilling yet powerful speech, and a call to action. I highly recommend you to watch it.
