@randahl alas, applies to politicians of all flavors, almost everywhere in the world and concerns the entire set of surveillance adtech platforms.

People just don't realize how much the political class has failed us in the digital era.

Whether merely dumb or bought/complicit, their uncritical use and endorsement of these platforms has shown that politics as being practiced everywhere is performative and largely fake: it is not grounded on a coherent moral core.

@randahl I am. I did. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Very few politicians here on Mastodon, sadly.
