Democracy v the machine: digital age warnings ignored
Original: Democracy v the machine: the birth of the digital age and the warnings that were ignored https:// feddit.org/post/364893
Discussion is circulating on how the digital age was born and the early warnings about its threat to democracy that went unheeded. Commenters are reflecting on how pioneers of computing and networking foresaw risks like surveillance, disinformation and concentrated tech power, yet societies and governments failed to act on those cautions. The conversation frames today's democratic struggles as the consequences of decades of ignored advice.
Why now: Ongoing debates about technology's impact on democracy are prompting people to revisit early warnings from the digital age's pioneers.
