Geht unter die Haut: Der TED Talk der Investigativ-Journalistin Carole Cadwalladr, die mit an der Aufdeckung des Cambridge-Analytica-Skandals beteiligt war.
Sie spricht mit zitternder Stimme über den Aufstieg der „Broligarchie“, die ihre globalen digitalen Plattformen nutzen, um eine nie dagewesene geopolitische Macht anzuhäufen, die Demokratie abzubauen und autoritäre Kontrolle auf der ganzen Welt zu ermöglichen.

#CaroleCadwalladr #Cadwalladr is an independent freelance journalist who was almost bankrupted by #oligarchs because she tried to tell the truth. She just lost her main source of income. #TheGuardian

Here is her #TedTalk TEXT (black or white, your choice)

"... you probably know this phrase, "do not obey in advance." That's #TimSnyder who's a historian of authoritarianism. We now are in Techno Authoritarianism, we have to learn how to digitally disobey"

(cut) My career, my reputation, my finances, even my home was on the line. All because I came here, to warn you, that I didn't think democracy was going to survive the technology that you're building, however incredible it is. In fact, I was the person who almost didn't survive. An pretty much everything I was warning about is now coming, true. I can't sugar coat, it It's a bit of a head fuck. I have a lot of emotions about coming here and Ted also, I suspect is feeling them too. But what actually I finally realized yesterday, is that the denial and the confusion that I've been feeling, is maybe what you're feeling too. I felt powerless for a really long time. So, if that's what you're feeling, I get it. But we have to act now. My alarm system is ringing, again. There are things, that we can do. In my case, I survived and you will too, but it's by learning how to fight that. This is my guide and it has to start with naming it. It's a coup. I know you probably don't want to hear that and especially here, but we can't fight it, if we can't see it and we can't see it, if we don't name it.
(cut) You know, Trump is sueing news organizations and every day they're settling. These are big corporates with corporate interests. Not everybody can stand up to power, but there are people who are doing it and we can support them. We have to have each other's backs right now because, we are the cavalry now. You know, this is really important to me, but I spoke to a UK liable lawyer, before this talk. I want to say that there is an awful lot of facts, set down in a high court judgment. And we're actually taking the case now to the European Court of Human Rights. We're testing the UK on its laws around freedom of expression. So look after facts, you'll miss them when they've gone. This is Wayback machine, give them money. They're trying to preserve the internet as it's being deleted, day by day. History is our best chance of getting out of this. You know you probably know this phrase, "do not obey in advance." That's Tim Snyder, who's a historian of authoritarianism. We now are in Techno Authoritarianism, we have to learn how to digitally disobey. That can be as simple as the drop down box. Don't accept the cookies. Don't give your real name. Download Signal, the encrypted messaging app. Don't bomb Yemen. Don't add the editor of the Atlantic to your group chat.

An the last quote from Carole Cadwalladr's TED talk "This is what a digital coup looks like":

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?

Carole Cadwalladr:

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.
