Populists didn’t hack democracy; they exploited its blind spots. If we, as defenders of democracy want to assure its survival, we need to ask how those blind spots got so big. Hint: It’s not just the algorithms. Loving your book

Deepfakes are crazy good these days. I just saw a video of Zuckerberg claiming: - he's "getting rid of fact-checkers" because they "censor" debate - he's "restoring free speech" on Facebook/Instagram - that "Europe is institutionalising censorship" Oh, wait...

Morning thought: AI is set to supercharge hack & leak ops. Nothing to hide? 10k emails hacked at lunch, 50k docs analyzed by 2pm: your CEO ignored environmental laws in 2007, expensed family vacations in 2009.

The belief that influence operations only target nation-states reflects a knowledge gap, not reality. Companies will invest 💰 in social listening dashboards, but have no clue what coordinated inauthentic behaviour is 🙃 But the wake-up call is coming…
