The WaPo story is excellent. Maria Ressa and Shoshana Zuboff’s books are required reading if you want the gory details.
The real question is: What are we going to do about it?

@bookstodon This article reminds me that I need to get a copy of Ressa's book - and also that more people really should read it, not only to understand what the hell is going on in my country right now, but also to avoid the mistakes that led to Duterte and Marcos Jr. becoming president.

This Colbert interview with Maria Ressa is short but packed with insights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpWevZ5yQz8
Maria Ressa is a journalist, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and writer of "How to Stand Up to a Dictator".
In this interview, she talks about how Facebook, Twitter, and some other forms of Social Media function as a component of Surveillance Capitalism and use their fact-distorting power to undermine democracy.
"If you don't have facts, you can't have truth.
Without truth, you can't have trust.
Without these three, you have no shared reality.
We can't solve any problems.
We have no democracy.
That's what social media has done: is has come in and used 'free speech' to stifle free speech."
Listening to Nobel Laureate, Maria Ressa, at the Boston Speaker Series. She is talking about her upcoming book, How to Stand Up to a Dictator: the Fight for our Future. One of her astonishing comments: 26 fake accounts in a social network spewing misinformation wind up influencing 3 million accounts. If you have a chance to hear her speak or to read her book, highly recommend.
