Beyond the Tech Bro Empire
Reclaiming Power in the Age of Algorithmic Control
EN
A handful of tech billionaires significantly shape today’s global information flows, influence elections, and dictate the rules of our digital public sphere. Coined by award-winning investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr, the term "Broligarchy" describes this unprecedented concentration of power and capital in the hands of a few Silicon Valley figures. But what does this shift in power mean for the media industry, democracy, and individual users? How can societies and media professionals regain control over their own data and public discourse in an era of disinformation and monopolized platforms? As part of #MTM40, Carole Cadwalladr discusses her investigative revelations (including the Cambridge Analytica scandal), the hidden networks of the tech elite, and urgent strategies for reclaiming our digital sovereignty.
