Fantastic speech. The more voices talk about this, the more people will start to care.

I wanted to see what it is about other than the title. Thankfully, some of the replies here have given me where to go to get the info to make a decision before I watch the video.

Transcript (thanks to @[email protected]):
Description (taken from the TED talk link):
“We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. 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. (This talk contains mature language.)
Thanks for linking the peertube mirror!
It's from this comment somewhere else in this thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/17995404
I just took the link there as well as other information from the other comments here and collated the information along with the description.
Sorry I don't click YT, unless it's really worth it. What is the video about?
May I ask why the strict yt avoidance? Have no intentions of persuading you either way, just curious.

Thx once again. Great video, well worth listening to.
no problem :D
i have no affiliation with this but i recommend peertubeify. it automatically or links to the same video on peertube
+, peertube has a feature to auto-upload YT videos based on links too :)
thx, a lot! I will watch it asap :)
i was like you for years. YEARS!
newpipe (or some other front end) saved me from missing absolutely everything
I'm going to continue missing out I guess. Youtube isn't the problem, it's videos. It used to be that if you wanted to learn something, you could just read it. Now everything is a video. I hate it.
It's a video because it's a TED Talk (not a TED Essay). However, they do provide transcripts: https://www.ted.com/talks/carole_cadwalladr_this_is_what_a_digital_coup_looks_like/transcript
Thanks. Excellent read, and it took me less than a minute to get through instead of the 20 it would have taken to watch (assuming I remembered to by the time I'm somewhere I can watch a video).
