People underestimate the threat about Big Social.
Big Social has now spent decades following you around the Internet, collecting data about who you are and what you do. Sometimes they know more about you than you know about yourself.
Now what happens when actual Fascists gain control of that data?
We already know from history, and it’s not pretty.
Yes, Nazi Germany is obvious.
But we can also look as far recently at Cambodia—and the genocide that Facebook enabled.
