An excellent thread by my friend & ally in the tech accountability trenches @moonalice.bsky.social. Technology underpins it all.

Reposted from Roger McNamee

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x

Depressingly true. I added a couple of comments to the main thread from my years on the frontline of tech policy

We are failing to note the role big tech and the bitcoin lobby played in basically blackmailing Dem leadership into undermining Biden - all because Lena Kahn competently did what she said she was going to do, and they DID not want her to finish her task.

Also Fox News and their ilk.

@moonalice.bsky.social looks like a good addition to my "People in and around tech who give a f... damn" starter pack.

I watched an ex boyfriend get radicalised by Gamergate and my father become a Farage loving Brexiteer its horrifying to see whats happened since and where its heading

White male inadequacy fear of evolution/progress and the fact one demographic controls 95% of wealth has a huge amount to answer for

This is exactly what I’ve been saying. For the week before the us election my YouTube feed was flooded with pro trump videos and my algorithm must be so far from trump supporter. Also on X I saw Kamala Harris tweets reaching just a few 1000 hours after posting. We’ve learnt nothing since Brexit

Stay strong and keep going Carole 👍

Thank you for sharing this. It was not a coincidence that Musk bought Twitter. Those with the money have a frightening amount of information about all of us. We would be naive to believe they they haven't used it.

Don't know if you saw this?

Gingrich is to thank for hate politics. The man who abandoned his wife cause she had cancer.

Just asking if left-leaning billionaires do exist and they could save Bluesky from Blockchain Capital. This is no good! https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

ronicats.bsky.social•98 days ago

I hope someone can do a deep dive into Blockchain Capital. The fact that they are part with Crypto does not give ma a warm fuzzy feeling!

Have you seen this links to Bannon etc... https://bsky.app/profile/carolecadwalla.bsky.social/post/3laulihmt5z22

hughster.bsky.social•98 days ago

This claim is misleading and has been addressed by BlueSky management.

nes-tor.bsky.social•98 days ago

It's not only her who is raising the alarm and what I've seen here is the crypto-folk criticising her like, the Brexiteers did when she accused CA of interfering. When people get angry at her, then there is always something smelling fishy. https://bsky.app/profile/davetroy.com/post/3latozg6i7s2u

@bmeiselas.bsky.social I am concerned.

ronicats.bsky.social•98 days ago

@junaebenne.bsky.social @techconnectify.bsky.social Should there be concern with a Chainlink Capital association with this app?

ronicats.bsky.social•98 days ago

@frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social I have concerns about Chainlink Capital

ronicats.bsky.social•98 days ago

@ianfogg.bsky.social I am concerned with the association between this App. Chainlink Capital, crypto & Steve Bannon. I know nothing about this industry.

He offers more details I deleted my account there so can't get into the thread. Most people don't ask where is my data going and who paid for this when it's free. https://x.com/davetroy/status/1856453144948961771

I don’t understand AI or tech. I am concerned with the associations in this thread.

@thisistechtoday.bsky.social
Please read thread. Is this a cause for concern?

Not sure why I’m being tagged on this?

This might be a good investment for MacKenzie. She just dumped a bunch of Amazon stock.

nes-tor.bsky.social•98 days ago

I read about her on Wikipedia, I don't.. . know we should build a co-op :)

@davidcorn.bsky.

I have concerns about Chainlink Capital.

bradkieser.bsky.social•99 days ago

I think that Biden's going to go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever. Not because he, or his values, are bad, but because we was the right president at the wrong time. Another time and place and he would have been awesome. But in a world needing strong leadership, he failed.

This has all been engineered, probably from Moscow.
