In a searing talk, she decries the rise of the “broligarchy” — the powerful tech executives who are using their global digital platforms to amass unprecedented geopolitical power, dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world. Her rallying cry: resist data harvesting and mass surveillance, and support others in a groundswell of digital disobedience. “You have more power than you think,” she says. <br>(Recorded at TED2025 on April 8, 2025) <br><br></span><a href="https://yewtu.be/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkNE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">yewtu.be/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkNE</a><span> <br><br>(</span><a href="https://youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE</a><span>) <br><br></span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/CaroleCadwalladr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CaroleCadwalladr</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/TED" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TED</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/DOGE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DOGE</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/DigitalCoup" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalCoup</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Broligarchy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Broligarchy</a></p>
Tim Schlotfeldt ⚓🏳️‍🌈New blogpost: <a href="https://www.tschlotfeldt.de/wiki/2025-04-29_Social-Media-Plattformen_sind_extrem_gef%c3%a4hrlich_f%c3%bcr_demokratische_Gesellschaften" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Social-Media-Plattformen sind extrem gefährlich für demokratische Gesellschaften</a><br><br><blockquote>Die sozialen Netzwerke haben ganz konkrete Auswirkung darauf, wie demokratische Gesellschaften miteinander umgehen. Die Zahl der regelmäßigen Zeitungsleser:innen nimmt seit vielen Jahren kontinuierlich ab und das lineare Fernsehen mit seinen Angeboten dem Bereich des investigativen Journalismus verliert immer weiter an Beachtung. Dem gegenüber stehen die großen sozialen Netzwerke wie TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp oder LinkedIn. Die Nutzungszahlen steigen dort weiterhin an. Genauso wie der weltweite Trend, dass sich immer mehr Menschen über Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft hauptsächlich über Social-Media-Kanäle informieren. Das ist für demokratische Gesellschaften ein großes Problem. Warum ist das so?<br><br><strong>Problem 1: Keine Anforderung der publizistischen Sorgfaltspflicht</strong><br><br>Klassische Medien werden in Demokratien unter besonderen Schutz gestellt, damit sie ohne Angst vor Repressionen kritisch und investigativ arbeiten können. Gleichzeitig müssen sie sich aber an hohe Standards halten. Unter anderem an die publizistische Sorgfaltspflicht, die zum Beispiel fordert, dass Nachrichten auf ihren Wahrheitsgehalt vor Veröffentlichung geprüft werden müssen. Soziale Netzwerke sind von dieser Sorgfaltspflicht befreit. Die Begründung ist hier, dass diese Dienste ja lediglich den Content anderer, der Nutzer:innen, transportieren.<br><br><strong>Problem 2: Mikrotargeting</strong><br><br>Das Geschäftsmodell der sozialen Netzwerke basiert auf Werbung. Und je zielführender Werbung ist, also je höher die Conversion Rate ist, um so mehr Geld kann man mit Werbung verdienen. Darum haben die sozialen Netzwerke ausgefeilte Werkzeuge entwickelt, mit denen sich selbst kleinste Zielgruppen sehr genau ansprechen lassen. Es ist beispielsweise kein Problem, an Personen einer Zielgruppe wie „Verwaltungsmitarbeiterin mit IT-Interesse, lebt im Norden von Hamburg, lebt in einer Beziehung, ist jünger als 40 Jahre, interessiert sich aktuell für ein Haus im Grünen“ bestimmte Inhalte, wie Videos, Fotos und Textmeldungen auszuspielen.<br><br><strong>Problem 2a: Intransparentes Mikrotargeting</strong><br><br>Werbetreibende können verschiedenen Zielgruppen zu ein und dem selben Thema unterschiedliche Informationen ausspielen, ohne dass das weder für die Zielgruppen noch für andere nachvollziehbar ist. Im einfachsten Fall sind das unterschiedliche Preise für ein und dasselbe Produkt. Aufzuspüren ist so etwas derzeit nur durch ehrenamtliches Engagement. Beispielsweise hat das ZDF Magazin Royal seine Zuschauer:innen vor der letzten Bundestagswahl um eine Datenspende mit Hilfe eines Browser-Plugin gebeten (siehe die Folge Wahlkampf im Internet).<br><br>[…]<br><br><strong>Es läuft nicht gut</strong><br><br>Soziale Netzwerke sind keiner Sorgfaltspflicht unterworfen wie klassische Medien. Dabei wissen wir aber seit der Aufarbeitung des Brexit-Referendums im Jahr 2016, dass Unternehmen wie Cambridge Analytica versuchen, die Netzwerke für Meinungsmache, insbesondere für rechtspopulistische Meinungsmache, zu instrumentalisieren. Cambridge Analytica ist auch ein gutes Beispiel um aufzuzeigen, wie extrem reiche Menschen Facebook, TikTok &amp; Co nutzen, um die Politik und Gesetzgebung zu ihren Gunsten zu verändern. Der Hauptinvestor hinter Cambridge Analytica war der Multimilliardär Robert Mercer, der 2016 auch ein wichtiger Unterstützer von Trumps Wahlkampf war. Robert Mercer hat neben Cambridge Analytica auch Stephen Bannon und dessen rechtsgerichtete Plattform „Breitbart News“ finanziell unterstützt. Stephen Bannon wiederum war ebenfalls an der Gründung von Cambridge Analytica beteiligt. Wikipedia schreibt über diese beiden Figuren: „Bannon war mit den Mercers befreundet; sie verfolgten gemeinsam das Ziel, das politische Establishment in der US-Hauptstadt Washington zu entmachten.“<br><br><br><strong>Keine Lösung in Sicht</strong><br><br>Okay, es gäbe eine Lösung. Wie durch Zauberhand würden mit einem Fingerschnippen alle die kommerziellen Netzwerke verlassen Richtung Fediverse. Eine schöne Utopie, aber leider nicht sehr realistisch.<br><br>Müssen die kommerziellen Netzwerke irgendwann sorgfältiger arbeiten und gegen Manipulationen einschreiten? In gewisser Weise ja, beispielsweise hat die Europäische Union die Gesetzeslage angepasst. Aber auch diese wird zu keiner grundsätzlichen Änderung führen.<br><br>Und die unvorstellbar reichen Tech-Bros bleiben nicht untätig und verfolgen weiter Ziele wie die Dunkle Aufklärung (auch Neoreaktionäre Bewegung, NRx, genannt).<br><br>So schlimm das alles ist: schlimmer ist, dass unsere demokratischen Gesellschaften immer noch kein Gegenmittel gefunden haben.<br><br>Damit bleibt mir ein hoffnungsfroher Abschluss verbaut.</blockquote><br><br>#<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=SocialMedia" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SocialMedia</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=BigTech" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">BigTech</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=TechBros" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">TechBros</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fediverse</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=Neoreaktion%C3%A4reBewegung" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">NeoreaktionäreBewegung</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=Rechtspopulismus" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rechtspopulismus</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=Gesellschaft" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gesellschaft</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=Demokratie" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Demokratie</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=Politik" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Politik</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=EU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">EU</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.tschlotfeldt.de/search?tag=CaroleCadwalladr" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CaroleCadwalladr</a>

We have to learn how to digitally disobey." —Carole Cadwalladr</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkNE" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkN</span><span class="invisible">E</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/CaroleCadwalladr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CaroleCadwalladr</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coup</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SurveillanceCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SurveillanceCapitalism</span></a></p>

the roamer<p>Carole Cadwalladr is an always-relevant observer of the relationships between tech, politics, and media. She was put under incredible pressure by those whose dark activities she exposed, and she stood her ground. A woman of impeccable moral and professional standing.</p><p>Cadwalladr is our Cassandra. We must listen to her.</p><p>When the trust owning The Guardian daily newspaper sold off The Observer (the Sunday paper), Cadwalladr was one of the many fine journalists who got axed. This is her last piece for the (old) Observer. </p><p>Like everything she writes, it is essential reading. Uncomfortable and important reading.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global/2025/apr/20/carole-cadwalladr-ted-talk-this-is-what-a-digital-coup-looks-like-its-not-too-late-to-stop-trump-and-the-silicon-valley-broligarchy-from-controlling-our-lives-but-we-must-act-now" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/global/2025/ap</span><span class="invisible">r/20/carole-cadwalladr-ted-talk-this-is-what-a-digital-coup-looks-like-its-not-too-late-to-stop-trump-and-the-silicon-valley-broligarchy-from-controlling-our-lives-but-we-must-act-now</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/CaroleCadwalladr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CaroleCadwalladr</span></a> <br> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoAI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/broligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>broligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a></p><p>[EDIT: typos corrected.]</p>
