RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Here's the Washington Post's front page on January 7, 2021. Four years later, the paper, famous for its tagline "Democracy Dies in Darkness," doesn't want to take a stand on who is fit to be president.

The Tech Coup is not a book against technology. It’s a book for democracy. Who could be against tech? It’s brought amazing things and it still holds so much promise. But what I am against, is unchecked corporate power that dominates the tech ecosystem ↘️

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Silicon Valley firms have been pitching the defense community hard on AI uses for military contexts.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: You've probably heard about Musk's petition.
It's run on the same website that ran bait-and-switch voter registration back in August.
They had to shut it down.
The goal then: probably soak up detailed voter data.
Remember, lots of shady micro-targeting is going on right now from Musk-backed PACs.
And now? Data collection is again a key priority.
I don't know why this isn't front and center in news stories about this.
