Why are Trump and certain tech billionaires trying to build new dystopian cities and democracy-free "zones"? It reflects a scary tech idea called "The Network State." For @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I wrote about why you should be deeply concerned 👇 www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...

Russian imperialism will not be neutralized by negotiations, compromises, or concessions. Instead, such approaches only promote further foreign adventurism in Moscow and military escalation along Russia's borders. @kyivindependent.com www.msn.com/en-us/news/w... @sceeus-ui.bsky.social
