I've never quite understood the thinking behind 'the big reveal', where links to things that are being launched are kept secret until the actual launch event, seems self-deating, but I guess that's the way it's done.

The recent conflict between Elon Musk and the Brazilian government has sparked heated debate on freedom of expression. Many commentators failed to reflect on a strategic reconfiguration of global power between governments and powerful tech companies. As these companies increasingly wield economic and social influence, rivalling that of nation-states, the implications for global diplomacy are profound. In this book *Jovan Kurbalija* and *Pavlina Ittelson* offer a critical, informed, and impartial analysis of tech diplomacy, exploring how these dynamics challenge the traditional Westphalian system centred on nation-states. They examine the interactions between tech companies and national governments, from the Bay Area to capitals worldwide, providing a comprehensive understanding of this rapidly changing environment. *SPEAKERS* *Jovan Kurbalija*, Executive Director, Diplo *Pavlina Ittelson*, Executive Director, Diplo US *LIVESTREAM https://youtu.be/1MgPs2qx7YU <http://isoc.live?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=945e8c23d573bb58b53f92be2cc617df4d23c8ba816892c9415d64ac276b1c28&blog_id=151329629&post_id=18403&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=687986ae728d00c62b4115a40646b012&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&encoded_url=aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS8xTWdQczJxeDdZVQ=>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3Bk0HPZ <http://isoc.live?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=245bd5b0873c56a73b1091011625a7b7f699fc0e74643cce475747ac2880aae1&blog_id=151329629&post_id=18403&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=6d9cdb81e9618b2750ab59ee66e16927&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&encoded_url=aHR0cHM6Ly9iaXQubHkvM0JrMEhQWg=>* *REAL TIME TEXT https://bit.ly/4eLdlGd <http://isoc.live?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=a08a7ca9264febdab310c3bddf14975df053119bd4f577c8c3d1df49b9d06896&blog_id=151329629&post_id=18403&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=0bc79e13d9841b8d3451169fc91acf63&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&encoded_url=aHR0cHM6Ly9iaXQubHkvNGVMZGxHZA=>* *TWITTER #TechDiplomacy <http://isoc.live?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=9253103fef7a39dcdab1bcd7de5b7d982e8ffed3b3bb118b019a0c8ce2f43af0&blog_id=151329629&post_id=18403&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=5639edf7142310a94075277e76b1bdc5&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&encoded_url=aHR0cHM6Ly9iaXQubHkvM1pSZWlzeA=> @jovankurbalija @pavlinaitt @DiplomacyEdu* *MASTODON #TechDiplomacy <http://isoc.live?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=a0a483ecafd28eaa7f2cafd4c8c3d8e28ed94a6f211fe9f987e0eb24ee1f5061&blog_id=151329629&post_id=18403&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=51aa60e25e96fef9db3b482349126fe9&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&encoded_url=aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXN0b2Rvbi5zb2NpYWwvdGFncy9UZWNoRGlwbG9tYWN5>* *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/diplo-techdiplomacy <http://isoc.live?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=34c7a0975e475aca014cd7e3c09e846f82a892f38ef1ff0c2bc97eb38171c19f&blog_id=151329629&post_id=18403&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=7bfdf4c355cfcbd45d49d18a77f1536d&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&encoded_url=aHR0cHM6Ly9hcmNoaXZlLm9yZy9kZXRhaWxzL2RpcGxvLXRlY2hkaXBsb21hY3k>* *** ISOC.LIVE is free community webcasting support service sponsored by the the Internet Society New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) - ISOC LIVE is currently unfunded - if you would like to become a monthly sponsor - contact support@isoc.live ** * -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
