I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.
But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

Exactly! He achieved exactly what he intended. He has removed all oversight of his government dealings so he can do whatever he wants. He consolidated taxpayer data from government data stores so he can go make trillions now.
Data is the new gold 💰 and now he has it. And we can't get it back.
