Eben Moglen Correctly Predicted the Demise of Social Control Media and How It Would Happen
Video: Eben Moglen on Facebook, Google and Government Surveillance
So having just published this criticism of social control media (fair, not too harsh), we now turn to old predictions that materialised or became true. 10 years after this interview with Professor Moglen, Elon Musk bought and destroyed Twitter ("X").
Notice what Moglen said about Facebook.
He said this 11 years ago, responding to what would happen in 10 years (Facebook's userbase decreased around 2021, according to Facebook itself, resulting in mass layoffs and corporate panic).
The footage is longer than this (2:20 - 7:12 cropped above) and in it, "Eben Moglen speaks to YASSSU at the Re:Publica conference in Berlin in May 2012 about the threat centralized networks like Facebook and Google impose in terms of freedom of speech and government surveillance." █
