Christopher Wylie formerly of Cambridge Analytica and Maria Ressa of Rappler.

An hour of Q and A between them, on Al Jazeera, first aired in March 2020.

I can only say that, ignoring the import, that this discussion has on current events and instead, thinking about the future, this is a must see.

If we remember the pioneers of mechanical and military tech in the 19th and 20th centuries and how they became the elite, with control over the cotton mills and railways and whole countries, we see that the control of the internet/media/social tech, is where the new robber barons are girding their loins.

Yes I know we’ve already seen this, but the discussion from these two notable figures, covers more and in a much better fashion, than I or we, could ever do.

Seek the Al Jazeera programme out and I hope it informs you as much as it did me.
