Hi Nettimers, Biggest news of the day ?
The Church of Silicon Valley is ON FIRE ! and on TED of all places ... https://www.ted.com/talks/carole_cadwalladr_facebook_s_role_in_brexit_and_the_threat_to_democracy#t-903495 ( and it does pain me to link a TED talk, but it's the only version i could get to play ) ... Analysis from Morozov: *Evgeny Morozov* @*evgenymorozov* <https://twitter.com/evgenymorozov> There are two type of digital activists out there: those who complain about Silicon Valley *and* Russia - they easily integrate into elite circles, give TED Talks, etc - and those who complain about Silicon Valley *and* America - they increasingly end up persecuted & in jail. He may have a point ... but an XLt reply: OR are there 3 types? 3rd: those who do incredible investigative journalism like @*carolecadwalla* <https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla> who don't easily integrate into the Other 2 dominant narratives ! And i didn't interpret her TED as: it's all about Russia. It says: Let's uncover ALL the big ( dirty ) money flows ! Cadwallader Does ask some difficult questions about Assange ... but is far more focused on the odiousness of Silicon Valley and the whole net implosion that has disrupted "democracies"... and with a very personal stake in the Brexit disaster ! ... curious how various nettimers might react...
