You have heard of military-industrial complex, right..... there is a
similar political -economic nexus in terms of digital power... FB gets
US government’s cover to promote a global order of free data err
information flow, a paradigm of non regulation in the digital space ,
multistakeholder smokescreen to keep real governance issues hidden, and
so on..... Deigo spoke about political power, this is geo-politics
101..... only i do not understand the civil society abdication in all
this, and its gullibility
