 This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkNE| Carole Cadwalladr | TED Apr 10, 2025  #TED #TEDTalks #Politics
“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.

Dear  @MumbaiPolice
: fight hate, not journalism. 

Received this notice from  @X
 about taking down my videos of Mumbai’s hate-filled #RamNavami rally.. Documenting hate is journalism. I won’t be taking down these videos. 

I have asked  @Support  to provide me a copy of the notice.
