Autoritäre Tech-Netzwerke kapern den Staat - @francescabria.bsky.social hat recht. In den USA sehen wir: private Akteure betreiben nicht mehr nur von außen Lobbyarbeit, sondern machen ihre Plattformen - wie #Palantir - selbst zu seinem Betriebssystem. Das sollten wir in Europa nicht zulassen.

In one of the diagrams it appears to me that our taxes are financing the destruction of democracy.

Heute über www.authoritarian-stack.info gelesen. Heftig! Während ein Clown namens Trump alle Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zieht bauen Oligarchen wie Peter Thiel einen totalitären libertären Staat. Erst die USA und dann die anderen. Danke @francescabria.bsky.social für diesen Artikel.

« Europe faces an existential choice: build genuine technological sovereignty now, or accept governance by platforms whose architects view democracy as an obsolete operating system. »

In "The Authoritarian Stack" @francescabria.bsky.social visually describes the rise of a U.S. born techno-authoritarian complex privatizing sovereign functions (defense, energy etc.). In Europe, Palantir, Starlink & Anduril esp. pose a direct challenge to democracies www.authoritarian-stack.info

Diese Warnung ist unmissverständlich. @francescabria.bsky.social & @josebautista.bsky.social haben das Vorgehen von US-Big-Tech kartografiert. Ihre Fazit: Ein autoritäres Netzwerk ist auch hier dabei den Staat zu privatisieren. Wir müssen #Palantir & Co den Stecker ziehen bevor es zu spät ist.

"It’s a self-reinforcing loop: Ideology fuels venture capital → capital captures the state → the state feeds the same private systems that built it. A new model of power — privatized sovereignty."

Das 💯 🙂 #EuroStack ✅

gespannt auf @francescabria.bsky.social , die bei #rp25 gleich was zum #EuroStack erzählen wird. Damit soll die digitale Souveränität gestärkt werden, also zb die riskante Abhängigkeit von US-Hyperscaler-Clouds. Im Koalitionsvertrag steht übrigens ein Deutschland-Stack, sinnvoller ist EU-Stack.

Europe can’t stay neutral between techno-oligarchy and digital authoritarianism. This isn’t just an AI race, it’s a fight for sovereignty and democracy. We don’t need a new Tech Cold War—we need a third way: democratic, mission-driven. My Handelsblatt interview www.handelsblatt.com/politik/inte...
