past two and a half years</a>, I did condense it into a 15-minute talk,
and I did deliver it on the TED main stage directly to the people I
described as "the Gods of Silicon Valley: Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl
Sandberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Jack Dorsey". The founders of
Facebook and Google " who were sponsoring the conference and the
co-founder of Twitter " who was speaking at it.<br><br>
I did tell them that they had facilitated multiple crimes in the EU
referendum. That as things stood, I didn't think it was possible to have
free and fair elections ever again. That liberal democracy was broken.
And they had broke it.<br><br>
It was only later that I began to realise quite what TED had done: how,
in this setting, with this crowd, it had committed the equivalent of
inviting the fox into the henhouse. And I was the fox. Or as one attendee
put it: "You came into their temple," he said. "And shat
on their altar."<br>
