This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like | Carole Cadwalladr | TED

Description :

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.
