In the space of one election cycle, authoritarian governments,
moneyed elites and fringe hackers figured out how to game
elections, bypass democratic processes, and turn social networks
into battlefields. Facebook, Google and Twitter - where our
politics now takes place - have lost control and are struggling to
claw it back. Prepare for a new strain of democracy. A world of
datafied citizens, real-time surveillance, enforced wellness and
pre-crime. Where switching your mobile platform will have more
impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom
and privacy are seen as incompatible with social wellbeing and
compulsory transparency. As our lives migrate online, we have
become increasingly vulnerable to digital platforms founded on
selling your attention to the highest bidder. Our laws don't cover
what is happening and our politicians don't understand it. But if
we don't change the system now, we may not get another chance.
