One is reminded of this: “After Oct. 7, the Lavender system was deployed, significantly increasing the scale and speed of airstrikes. Lavender could identify and approve targets in just 20 seconds, often without any meaningful human review.” www.setav.org/en/gaza-as-a...

Evident even then was the rapid evolution beyond a global polycrisis into a state of domestic permacrisis, in which conflict abroad fuels violent extremism at home, influence operations erode truth daily, & economic shocks amplify disinformation against lib-dem/social cohesion foundations. #nzpol

Just looked to see how this has been covered by NZ media and it hasn’t been widely picked up - incredibly strange given the clear concern outlined in the article, the refusal to give any answers to valid questions, and the wider, connected context of US fascism.
Democracy dies in darkness indeed.

Ardern has been out of office for nearly 3 years but the obsessive rage of anti-vaxers etc has not diminished in intensity at all.

Dangerous speech, misogyny, and democracy static1.squarespace.com/static/65c9c... (written with Kayli Taylor, Kate Hannah in 2022). An unceasing flood of hate/harms targeting Ardern have been more generally recorded in my posts to Bluesky over the past couple of years. bsky.app/profile/sanj...
