Bethann Hardison Instagram – Happy Fourth of July to all who consciously observe the purpose of this American holiday.
Its Independence Day. But more recently, slowly our personal independence and privacy is being tampered with. Take time to watch Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez here…re: Facial recognition data.
But also be aware of “Deepfakes” a video app which House Rep. Yvette Clark (Brooklyn) is trying to get a bill pass that stops this technology that allows the user to distort the truth, confuse the public and make us question what is real and what is fake. It can create falsehood, without your consent. Speaker Pelosi was a target, misled viewers to believe she had been been drinking before a press conference.
And lets not ignore those Immigration Detentions of all things….
If these are not clear signs of America going in a direction of concern and how much we need to be consciously aware of whats going on that we are sleeping on, it’s truly “Hola” time.
Independence is not the word I am thinking of today, unless to recognition ours is slipping.
So eat and drink up, do that 4th of July thing.
But please be uncomfortable with what’s happening to our United States of America.
Between our political administration and technology, we need to keep our heads up.
Independence feels slippery.
Meanwhile Happy July 4th.
