Summary:
Dr. Jim breaks down the chilling legacy of the Arab Spring and how a wave of people-powered uprisings sparked a global counterstrike by authoritarian regimes and the billionaire class. It’s the origin story of today’s surveillance state.
In 2010, social media was a liberator. By 2025, it's become a leash. Dr. Jim lays out how the Arab Spring terrified the global elite and triggered the rise of informational autocracy. From Facebook to facial recognition, learn how billionaires rewired the digital town square to serve power, not people. This is the blueprint for how dissent gets crushed without firing a single shot.
