I’ve had relatives and friends share this, but IMO the biggest reason for sharing is probably because it speaks negatively about the US elite, not because people actually hear or understand the message. The anti-US sentiment is the vessel for the pro-privacy message and it’s the vessel that’s attractive. If the anti-US movement can keep it up, more privacy aware products available to the public might be the result.
Most nontechnical people aren’t going to give up their iPhones and shiny Macs unless shinier, non-US products show up. So let’s hope that the US elite keeps fucking up.
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.

They’re now trying to force people to log in just to watch any videos. Including embedded videos.
I really wish people would use alternative platforms.

It’s a personal choice, based on personal priorities.

Thx once again. Great video, well worth listening to.
no problem :D
thx, a lot! I will watch it asap :)
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 :)
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
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 @itslola@lemmy.world):
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.
