Watched The Media & Big Business: Friends of Fascism? from Novara Media

As Tommy Robinson gets boosted by the UK press, and Brazil’s stock market backs Jair Bolsonaro. We ask: Why are the mainstream media, big business and fascists all besties? With Ash Sarkar and Oscar Guardiola-Rivera.…

Some pretty stark prognostications from Oscar Guardiola-Rivera about what fascism in Colombia and Brazil, coupled with Trump in the US, could portend.

One glimmer of positivity at the end, that there is a resistance movement already organising.

Now on Micropub 2.0 and Post Kinds 3.1.1. All looking good.

"Gevulot is a form of privacy practised in the Oubliette. It involved complex cryptography and the exchange of public and private keys, to ensure that individuals only shared that information or sensory data that they wished to. Gevulot was disabled in agoras."

The internet and near-costless scaling of digital has allowed the concentration of too much power in too few hands. Our systems for…

I really like the Personal Data Store concept. You own your data, and you choose to let apps interact with it for your benefit. It’s pretty much what the #indieweb is doing (though perhaps for the more limited subset of things that don’t need verified claims).

I don’t like the commercial nature of most PDS offerings (including Solid now).

Either way, some good general food for thought in this article.

How you choose to break a monopoly depends on your politics I guess.

Direct action against it; grassroots alternatives; state support for alternatives; legislation/anti-trust; state alternatives. Maybe some combination thereof.
