#AlbaniaPol #DuaLippa #Politics
(1/3)
We live in sorry times: singers/pop stars (#Albania) and comedians (#Zelensky) must do the jobs of politicians.
But then, we have a former gameshow host who has turned the US and foreign affairs into #RealityTV.
#SoSad.However, let's hope that the peaceful uprising of the #Albanian people will not fall victim to the #ArabSpring but will lead to an East-#German, #WieSindDasVolk!

The start of the #ArabSpring was spectacular, but the hard slog of political negotiation and compromise and institution building is off the media radar. The elections will be important in terms of the power structure, but the process of getting there is likely just as important for #DemocraticResilience [5].

Check it out, #ArabSpring on #Twitter was a hint of what can be done cuz it wasn't private & decentralization is. Can't be controlled. Can be hacked here and there but has proven very resilient to that behavior. A heavily adopted #open #source #decentralized #AI for mobile would be the shit!

"Fifteen years since the #ArabUprisings, what have been the greatest successes and obstacles in organizing around socioeconomic demands in the #MENA region? How are workers, unions, and civil society groups organizing under increasingly restrictive conditions and what lessons can be drawn?"

Digital Hopes, Real Power: How the #ArabSpring Fueled a Global #Surveillance Boom
When people remember the 2011 uprisings, they picture crowded squares, raised phones, and the feeling that the internet had finally shifted the balance of power toward ordinary people. But the past decade and a half is also a story about how governments, companies, and platforms turned those same tools into the backbone of a powerful state surveillance apparatus.

Are things getting like before the #ArabSpring in Tunisia?

Digital Hopes, Real Power: How the #ArabSpring Fueled a Global #Surveillance Boom
For #activists , #journalists , & everyday users, that means now living with a constant threat: the phone in your pocket, the platforms you organize on, and the systems you rely on for safety and connection can be #weaponized at the flip of a switch. A global surveillance industry has treated repression by many #MENA governments as a growth opportunity, …now shape digital authoritarianism

The @eff has an epic writeup about how the Arab spring was a catalyst for authoritarian information gathering and then there changes to digital life. Three part series.

Oh. so this is the thread people have been talking about.
jfc.
look, i only know of Dare from Twitter & the tech scene. so that’s almost 20 years now (i joined there in 2007). Dare is like the Black unicorn of techbrolandia. he was never the guy to bring visibility to what’s newsworthy. he’s always been around to amplify techbros.
you know who was followed for what was newsworthy?
ME.
i was in the top 5 of most influential accounts during the #ArabSpring & #OccupyWallStreet

Angry protests erupted after the tortured body of Muhammad Al-Moussawi was returned to his family.
Bahrain, a majority Shia kingdom is ruled by a brutal king backed by Saudi Arabia who put him back in the thrown after crushing the Arab spring uprisings.
"Sayyid Muhammad Al-Moussawi, one of the oppressed Bahraini youth, was martyred in the Al Khalifa family's prisons due to severe brutal torture, which has led to a wave of public anger"

"When Twitter was still the “town square” and Facebook a humble “social network”, progressives had an advantage: from the #ArabSpring to #Occupy, voices excluded from mainstream media and politics could leverage online social networks and turn them into real-life ones, which at their most potent became protests that toppled regimes and held capitalism to account. The scattered masses became a networked collective, empowered to rise up against the powerful."

Today marks the 15th anniversary of the beginning of the Egyptian revolution, in 2011.
Those were the years when Facebook was trying to fool people posing as the good platform empowering oppressed populations.
Look at where we are, now. Platforms showing their real despicable nature.
I truly hope another revolution comes soon, everywhere. This time, we will all be using mesh networks, decentralized protocols, encrypted communication.
Transparency for the powerful, encryption for the masses. (paraphrasing Julian Assange)
