@_elena Where have I heard this kind of criticism before? Oh, that's right—people scolded and berated Greta Thunberg for traveling on airplanes or even using electricity! How dare she use fossil fuel energy, right?

Give me a break! #Cadwalladr needs the reach to drive change and spread her message. You're trying to elevate yourself by diminishing her.

We are faceing the rising tide of fascism, we need to support each other—not sniping at one another.

You're absolutely #despicable.🙄
#betrayal

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.

@markus_netzpolitik Mir wird nicht deutlich, woher nun dieser shift kommt, diese Absetzung von "Geldgebern". Ist es die scheinbare (!) Zäsur, die mit dem verschärften Kapitalregime in den USA einhergeht, ist es das Kapital, das neuerdings erkenntnisreich als Big Tech verstanden wird? Was war die Position des angedient embedded Journalismus vor der Zäsur? Die Aufdeckung von Analytica und FB durch u.a. #Cadwalladr steht vermeintlich besser da,...

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.

How to Survive the Broligarchy · Speaking truth to tech gods: I return to TEDBy Carole Cadwalladr

“We are already living in an architecture of totalitarianism”, says Carole Cadwalladr. She knows what she’s talking about (Google her). She argues we all need to urgently strengthen our privacy protections.

“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 details a fast-moving technological coup and the rise of the “broligarchy”: an unprecedentedly powerful class of tech executives (like Elon Musk) who are complicit in dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world. She shares a guide on how to digitally disobey in this age of runaway corporate power, data harvesting and mass surveillance — and reminds you that you have more power than you think.

#TED is ground zero of the #AI gold rush. But there was also cheerleading and l’ve been overwhelmed by huge love and support from others who see exactly what is happening. It’s the weirdest time to be here.

And it was the weirdest energy from an audience of any talk I’ve ever given. But then, it was intended to make them uncomfortable.

Politics is technology now.

#SiliconValley is desperate to deny that, but it can’t and nor can we.’

Carole #Cadwalladr

Carole #Cadwalladr is one very brave investigative journalist. Last time she did a TED talk in 2019 it almost ended her career, took the roof from over her head and severely impacted her mental well-being.

But she’s back.

Talking truth to power.

The talk is less than 20 mins. It’s definitely worth your time.

How to Survive the Broligarchy · US Coup Gains SpeedBy Carole Cadwalladr

Nearly 500 journalists are on strike at the #Guardian and its sister paper, the Sunday-only #Observer, to protest the planned sale of the Observer to a small digital startup.

"We believe it's a total betrayal of the Guardian's values and promises that it's made," says #Carole #Cadwalladr, an investigative reporter and feature writer for the Observer.

"The sale of the Observer to a loss-making startup is potentially the death of this historic brand."

The strike, which started Wednesday, is expected to last for two days this week and restart for a couple more days next week.

Cadwalldr says the strike is intended to convince the Observer's owner to slow down a process that the paper's union says is sprinting to a preordained conclusion.

She says colleagues believe other suitors could emerge if further review shows the Guardian should divest itself of the Sunday paper.

The Observer is a storied liberal title whose first issue came out on this date in 1791.

It is believed to be the world's oldest Sunday paper.

Its famous journalists include George Orwell. And it was central to the launch of the human rights group Amnesty International.

The buyer is #Tortoise #Media, a well-regarded but small news outlet founded in 2019
and led by #James #Harding, the former director of BBC News and editor of The Times of London.

Its tagline is "slow down, wise up."

It promises to delve into what's driving the news rather than simply post the latest headlines.

It has not yet turned a profit but has deep-pocketed backers,
including the investment arm of the Thomson family that controls Reuters and owns the Globe and Mail newspaper in Canada.

@cneff

Among the points Carole #Cadwalladr is making following #USelection :

"5 You have more power than you think. We’re supposed to feel powerless. That’s the strategy. But we’re not. If you’re a #US #institution or #organisation, form an emergency committee. Bring in experts. Learn from people who have lived under #authoritarianism. Ask advice."

I'd add, join #unions.

📰 Świeża #Cadwalladr w #Guardian:

"1 Kiedy ktoś mówi ci, kim jest, uwierz mu. W zeszłym tygodniu Donald Trump mianował dyrektora wywiadu, który rozpowszechnia rosyjską propagandę, chrześcijańskiego nacjonalistycznego krzyżowca na sekretarza obrony i sekretarza zdrowia, który jest sceptykiem szczepionkowym. Gdyby Trump chciał zniszczyć amerykańską demokrację, amerykańskie państwo i amerykańskie wartości, to właśnie w ten sposób by to zrobił."
