Scary shit
What is this website? And what is this xof-research.org apparently founded two weeks ago?
Francesca Bria who seems to have found xof-research is an Italian digital economy professor. The project is funded by the party foundation of the German social democrats and gets support from the German Left Party foundation as well.
I have read this. But neither Francesca Bria nor any of the claimed supporters (Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung, etc.) mention ‘authoritarian stack’ on their sites, and xof-research just links back to authoritarian-stack. There is no information available.
Addition: I personally also find the information is not really new (maybe even incomplete, there is more and not everything is related to the U.S. alone). I don’t question the information in general, but it’s a bit sensationalist. But that’s just my opinion. It’s also a bit funny that they warn of ‘authoritarian stack’ and explicitly mention Xitter, but their only social media account (with no message sent so far) is then on Xitter.
Bria does on here LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/francescabriaThe LinkedIn is linked on her wesite
Friedrich Ebert Stiftung does as well: https://futureofwork.fes.de/news-list/e/the-authoritarian-stack-how-venture-capital-and-authoritarian-tech-are-rewiring-democracy.html
Ah, thanks. Haven’t found that.
How does this relate to the old players, e.g. Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_defense_contractors
Does the old MIC hand over power like that?
China is far ahead with that, I hope Europe finds its own democratic path …
