Pace e Bene – 5 October 2025
“What happens on social media doesn’t stay on social media. Online violence is real world violence. Social media is a deadly game for power and money, what Shoshana Zuboff calls surveillance capitalism, extracting our private lives for outsized corporate gain. Our personal experiences are sucked into a database, organized by AI, then sold to the highest bidder. . . These American companies controlling our global information ecosystem are biased against facts, biased against journalists. They are—by design—dividing us and radicalizing us.”—Maria Ressa, Nobel Peace Prize lecture 2021

That is… if we allow ourselves to be controlled.
Awareness… mindfulness…. loving involvement is a counterforce. We can play in that digital game and not be anyone’s tool.
As with anything in this world, danger lurks. We can’t protect everyone, but that’s not our job. It’s our job to love and to be (to live) the change we want to see in the world. The work of a lifetime. Fear is our only enemy. Rise up!
Well said and excellent doos for thought. Thanks , Donna
