	1 Recommendation Recommended By Cautious_Optimist of 8521

Oliver Darcy interviewed Wired editor Katie Drummond for his Status newsletter: DARCY: Stepping back, what do you think it means for American democracy and for the tech sector when Silicon Valley leaders are openly bowing before Donald Trump? And, in an attempt to end on a positive note: Where, if anywhere, do you find reasons for optimism? DRUMMOND: We’re witnessing, in real-time, a profound consolidation of power and collusion among political and tech elites—the ruling class of this country, and the world – wherein the tools and technologies that this industry has built, and continues to build, can now be deployed in service of an authoritarian regime… Don’t think for a second that these companies and their executives won’t get in line. They’re already in the Oval Office with a custom glass and 24-karat-gold statuette, for god’s sake. What gives me optimism? People in tech doing novel, subversive, transformational things—grassroots or otherwise. That, and my second passport.
