"We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start."
"This is Putin's playbook."
A powerful speech, definitely worth watching.

Prediction: #Binance is going to get out from under the independent monitoring and billions of dollars in #moneylaundering fines (which, contrary to the way it is phrased in WSJ, I’m pretty sure have not all been paid yet - payment was to take place over the course of several years) it was hit with in exchange for helping grow the market share of the Trump + Witkoff family stablecoin #USD1 (launched by #WorldLibertyFinancial / #WLFI).

I wrote out my #selfhosting #photos setup for my friend @ketumbra and thought it might be useful for some people here to help #boycottUSA #degoogle & leave #BigTech
Something that makes it clear how much value the #broligarchy can extract from your photos is this demo website from #ente @ente showing exactly how much #google extract about you and your family when you use their photo hosting on #googlephotos : https://theyseeyourphotos.com/

This is What a #DigitalCoup Looks Like

#Facebook's role in #Brexit and the threat to #democracy ( 5 years ago)
I chose to come back to TED because I'm reclaiming my story, my words.
We are not powerless.
The 30,000 people who supported me proved that – we ar not powerless.
Because we know who we are, and we know what we stand for.
And my question to Silicon Valley is, do you?
Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk. Your are not gods. You are men, and you are careless.
You think that by allying yourself with an autocrat you will be protected. That's not how history works. It's not even how oligarchy works.
[…]
You are sucking up to a tuyrant who is trying to destroy the laws who made your businesses possible.
You are collaborators.
You are complicit in a regime of fear and cruelty.
Don't experiment on children
And in years to come, allowing your child to be data-harvested from birth will be considered child abuse.
You didn't know, but now you do.
Privacy is power.
Do not obey in advance
We now are in techno-authoritarainism.
We have to learn how to digitally disobey.
[…]
Don't accept the cookies, don't give your real name.
I keep misreading #broligarchy as "broccoli"
Der #TedTalk von Journalistin #CaroleCadwalladr ist meine dringende Empfehlung.
Sie will aufmerksam machen, wachrütteln und gibt ein paar kleine Empfehlungen. Ihr Rede ist Teil einer modernen Aufklärung.
This is what a digital coup looks like
Tech bros' unchecked power fosters a digital coup, undermining democracy with tools they create. Resist by reclaiming data privacy.
#CambridgeAnalytica was chickenfeed to #Broligarchy

Indeed, as usual with Carole Cadwalladr, it's a highly relevant talk, meaningfully loaded with impacting words like the remarkable #broligarchy .
The further she keeps on pulling the alarm bell, the more I respect her.
Corporations won't save us, courts won't save us - we, the people, all of us, YOU, ME, we are the last line of defense & the first line of attack.
An understandably emotional Carole Cadwalladr explains why, and what we need to do.
"We can't win every battle, but we definitely don't win if we don't fight [...] We are not powerless!"

Rohkea nainen, joka taisteli kolme vuotta oikeudessa #CambridgeAnalytica -tapauksen vuoksi. Toivottavasti tästä ei ala uusi oikeustaistelu, vaan kansalaistaistelu, joka saa meidät arvostamaan yksityisyyttämme. Meillä on valtaa, käytetään sitä!

"But culture now is just what's next on your phone. And that's AI. Culture is AI now. And forget the killer robots. If you want to know what the first great AI apocalypse is, we're already living it. It's total information collapse."

This is gut wrenching to watch. A visibly distraught Carole Cadwalladr recalling here trial, the current "broligarchy" and how to move forward against the technological destruction of democracy. The trembling voice is just .... this took a ton of courage.
Journalist Carole #Cadwalladr helped break the data abuse by #Facebook with the Cambridge Analytica Story, effectively taking on all of #SiliconValley . She was sued, digitally stalked, and paid a huge price for speaking truth to power, as you can see in this new talk at TED, a venue she has chosen very consciously. Her dire warning: Cambridge Analytica was chicken feed compared to the #broligarchy coup happening today

"Cherish facts and privacy. You're gonna miss them when they're gone."
About #broligarchy, how #Instagram is now the Stasi and we should begin to act as if we were living in the GDR. How to speak to power and how we are stronger than we think.
What a brilliant, powerful and courageous #Tedtalk by Carole #Cadwalladr.
Please watch and share.
