THE world's giant technology companies, which see themselves as "master of the universe", start consortia and Web sites (cheap or low-cost PR campaigns) that help shift attention from their racist policies, racist past, and contracts that help them profit from racism. The corporate media is more than happy to participate in these PR campaigns, which perpetuate their power over society, rendering billions of people around the world "digital slaves".

"The corporate media is more than happy to participate in these PR campaigns, which perpetuate their power over society, rendering billions of people around the world "digital slaves"."Recently, the Linux Foundation decided to lend the name "Linux" to this, in effect whitewashing a racist past (again, for profit!) and failing to point out sheer hypocrisy.

I am aware that this is a sensitive subject, but I've written enough about those matters to speak about it unprepared and unscripted. Towards the end I critically assess the PR campaigns and why they may be missing the point or overlook the real problems. ⬆
