Paper Backups

[Jon Freise]

Hi Everyone,

Things get more interesting by the day!  Poland and Musk just had an argument over Musk cutting off Ukraine from the Star Link satellite internet system.

This brings up a new and interesting angle to the tech bros being part of the Authoritarian movement. 

It is very likely that based on your Facebook "likes" that an AI algorithm can pinpoint your political position with more accuracy than you could yourself.  And if you have ever tried to remove your Facebook account, you will quickly realize that you cannot.  Nor your Linked In profile.

The tech bros could achieve a coup just by turning off the tech access to every Democrat.  Breaking up information sharing networks, etc.  They can turn off any service at any time to anyone.

Google can turn off your accounts at any moment.  Stop you from logging into your phone.  Getting your email.  Accessing your contact list.

Microsoft (or Apple) could block access to your laptop.

It is worth taking some time to back up critical contact information onto paper.  Do you have your key contacts phone and physical mail addresses written down somewhere offline?  Can you get to your bank accounts in person?  Your credit card accounts?

Think Resilience!
