Carole Cadwalladr - Broligarchs, AI, and a Techno-Authoritarian Surveillance State | The Daily Show
-
“I think what is happening in America is they are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state.” Carole Cadwalladr, the award-winning journalist behind the Substack newsletter “How to Survive the Broligarchy,” talks to Jon Stewart about how the U.S. government ignored the huge wake-up call that was the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook data breach scandal – a story Cadwalladr broke and which resulted in no legislative protections for citizens’ private data. She warns about the unregulated dangers that data-mining and AI pose to individual privacy and freedom, and what people and institutions can do to push back on big tech’s authoritarian agenda.

I've seen this because I like Jon Stewart and this is certainly a nice interview about an important topic. But aside from briefly mentioning big techs influence on Brexit Germany's experience with Fascism and Communism (if Germany is the example for experience with communism you can guess how briefly it was mentioned), this interview is entirely about US companies and their influence on US politics. So even though I can recommend this video to anyone interested in that, I did downvote this post because it doesn't belong in this community imo.

There's a looming "conflict" between those US tech companies and the EU.
Know your enemy.

Yeah, the issue is that you post a lot of things that are interesting but only tangentially related to Europe as such.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Interconnection of networks means that it is literally connected to Europe. Even if you don't have solidarity for Americans, the data of Europeans is also getting in there.
These conflicts will be in the news, hopefully soon, as EU institutions should demand more to protections (or else - fines).
