FBI Hired #SocialMedia Surveillance Firm That Labeled #BlackLivesMatter Organizers “Threat Actors”

"A new Senate report calls out the FBI for lying to Congress about its social media monitoring, pointing out the FBI’s hiring of ZeroFox.
(...)
The FBI’s primary tool for monitoring social media threats is the same contractor that labeled peaceful Black Lives Matter protest leaders DeRay McKesson and Johnetta Elzie as “threat actors” requiring “continuous monitoring” in 2015.
The contractor, ZeroFox, identified McKesson and Elzie as posing a “high severity” physical threat, despite including no evidence that McKesson or Elzie were suspected of criminal activity."

The FBI Is Hunting a New Domestic Terror Threat: Abortion Rights Activists

"After GOP pressure, FBI abortion “terrorism” investigations increased tenfold, government data shows.
[ ...]
Last year, as the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade sparked major protests nationwide, the FBI opened nearly 10 times as many investigations into cases of abortion-related domestic terrorism as it had in 2021, a new internal report reveals."

Don't let Google & co. take over our lives and spaces!
Fuck off #Google!

"Google steals and exploits our #data for profit and turned this behaviour into a norm. It also colonizes our physical spaces. Google canceled its plan for a ‘Google Campus’ in Kreuzberg, Berlin under pressure by the neighborhood; yet it continues its expansion worldwide.
As a decentralized network of people, we want to keep our lives and spaces free from this law- and tax-evading company and its peers, and oppose the dystopian future they offer.

Good Night, Tech-Right: Pull The Plug On AI Fascism

„The Tech-Right is united, but less by their scattered reactionary ideologies, and more by their shared class interests. They want us divided, thinking we’ll fight each other over the scraps they offer us, or by generating the latest outrage on social media platforms they control.

We need to organize and build around our shared class interests, reaching across divisions, around common goals and struggles. We want homes for everyone. We want a livable planet for our children. We want control over our labor. We want to abolish the systems that are destroying us.

In the 1990s, anarchists, labor unions, anti-sweatshop activists, and environmental groups helped mobilize thousands in militant protests against corporate globalization, all under a Democratic president. Using decentralized networks, independent media, and affinity groups, they helped to create a growing movement, rooted in anti-capitalist analysis and direct action. We did it before, we can do it again.“

The oligarchs want a king. Let’s give them a peasants’ revolt instead.“

Good Night, Tech Right!
PDF #Zine

„We’re excited to announce a new zine version of Good Night, Tech Right: Pull the Plug on AI Fascism, a deep-dive into the influence of far-Right and neo-fascist politics on the emerging bloc of tech billionaires within the Trumpian state, and its push to cement Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a new regime of capital accumulation.

With anger only rising against techno-fascists like #ElonMusk and calls for protests against #Tesla growing, we hope this zine offers people a resource and chance to start discussions around our shifting landscape.“

The Rise of Inverted Totalitarianism: An Anarchist Analysis

"In his 2003 book Democracy in Chains, political theorist Sheldon Wolin coined the term “inverted totalitarianism” to describe a political system where the traditional institutions of democracy—elections, separation of powers, and civil liberties—remain in place, but their substance is hollowed out. This inversion, Wolin argues, creates an environment where corporate interests dominate the political process, and the state serves as a tool to perpetuate the status quo of wealth and power.

From an anarchist perspective, the idea of inverted totalitarianism is not just an academic critique; it reveals the underlying mechanisms of control that maintain state power and corporate dominance. Anarchism challenges the legitimacy of all forms of hierarchical authority, and inverted totalitarianism exposes the way in which democratic facades can obscure and legitimise systems of oppression."

„Digitale Bücherverbrennung“

"Da kommen Leute aus Elon Musks DOGE-Abteilung, die sich nicht dafür interessieren, welche Funktionen eine Behörde erfüllt. Sie haben eine Liste mit verbotenen Wörtern, darunter Begriffe wie „schwul“, „Frau“ oder „kulturelles Erbe“. Und sie löschen rücksichtslos Inhalte, in denen diese Wörter auftauchen. Sie haben gelöscht, dass der Schwarze US-General Charles Calvin Rogers mit der „Medal of Honor“ geehrt wurde. Sie haben auch medizinisches Wissen gelöscht, das Ärzt*innen für laufende Behandlungen von Patient*innen brauchen.

Wir sehen hier die ersten Auswirkungen eines Technofaschismus. Eine neue Form des Faschismus, in der die Tech-Oligarchen Hand in Hand mit Reaktionären arbeiten und Daten das Mittel der Kontrolle und Unterdrückung sind."
