"What we are witnessing in real time is not only Big Tech providing the infrastructure that powers a police state but now also becoming official advisors to this police state as part of an authoritarian government."

Not surprising considering that Youtube is Google and the CEO of Google is now aligned with Trump.

Here's a tip though, if you log out of Youtube, you start with a blank page and won't be recommended propaganda.

Better yet, #boycottgoogle and delete your account altogether!
The Youtube start page view when logged out: just a search bar.

The US Army plans to ramp up the amount of drones it has by 1 million...

The same US Army that has employees from Palantir, Meta and OpenAI working for them now...

Not at all concerning... right? 🤔

Ok, we all knew that Walmart was bad... but this is a new low.

Yes, it's real:

One of LinkedIn's "Top Stories" this morning.

Notice how they say the active users surged "last quarter" (July - September) with no mention of the mass boycotts over its investment in AI weapons and its airing of ICE ads which started in October.

Crazy how this barely made news.

You'd think more people should be aware that Meta and OpenAI have direct ties with the US military.

No one actually wants this technology. Big tech is simply pushing it to achieve their goal of having as much data as possible to increase their profits.

Here's an excerpt from The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff that sums it up nicely:
A highlighted text in a book: "As the marketing director of a Silicon Valley firm that sells software to link smart devices told me, "There's all that dumb real estate out there and we've got to turn it into revenue. The 'internet of things' is all push, not pull. Most consumers do not feel a need for these devices. You can say 'exponential' and 'inevitable' as much as you want. The bottom line is that the Valley has decided that this has to be the next big thing so that firms here can grow."

That's a feature of surveillance capitalism.

Here's a quote from Mark Weiser's 1991 article, "The Computer for the 21st Century", featured in Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism:
A book with highlighted text: "The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it." He described a new way of thinking "that allows the computers themselves to vanish into the background...Machines that fit the human environment instead of forcing humans to enter theirs will make using a computer as refreshing as taking a walk in the woods."

A photo of a highlighted text: "We're sorry. It's not us. It's the monster. The bank isn't like a man. Yes, but the bank is only made of men. No, you're wrong there — quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it. The tenants cried, Grampa killed Indians, Pa killed snakes for the land. Maybe we can kill banks— they're worse than Indians and snakes. Maybe we got to fight to keep our land, like Pa and Grampa did. And now the owner men grew angry. You'll have to go. But it's ours, the tenant men cried. We-No. The bank, the monster owns it. You'll have to go."

Just a reminder, the vast majority of the random stuff you can order from Amazon can also be bought from eBay.

This is how Amazon makes its money.

Although it's not plausible to control which websites we access through Amazon Web Services (AWS), we do have the capacity to boycott Amazon to stop its flow of funding.

Sellers can stop selling on Amazon and consumers can stop buying through Amazon.
A graph of how Amazon makes its money. Much of it is through online stores, physical stores, 3rd party seller services and advertising services, with another sizable chunk for AWS and subscription services.

Google makes most of its money from ads and YouTube.

What marketers can do:
Stop or systematically reduce your Google ad spend.

What individuals can do:
Stop using Google. If using YouTube, install an ad blocker.

How Meta makes its money.

(It wouldn't have any if it weren't for marketers spending money on the platforms.)
A graph showing how Meta gets its income. The large majority (over $160 billion) comes from advertising on Facebook, Instagram, Messanger and WhatsApp.
