A handful of ex-employees who designed software for social media companies left their jobs and are on a mission to tell the world about the manipulative software they now regret. A cynic might suggest they’re after their own slice of media revenue. When I was there I felt it
The motivations and tactics of an ultra-wealthy minority bent on governing the world have been laid bare in Climate Hustle 2, a film just released on-line. What began in 1968 as the Club of Rome with a campaign to limit world population growth, found in 1988 that they could use
