But of course, no one will clamp down on them - even though they're selling user data to China.
She claims Mark Zuckerberg lied to Congress about Meta not knowing whether the CCP would have access to user data.

Show Summary
The rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape of recent years can be hard to follow. With economic conflicts between global superpowers and violent clashes across multiple continents, today’s events can seem starkly different from the trajectory of past decades. So, how can a deeper understanding of energy and resource security help us make sense of these chaotic trends?
Together, the [speakers] provide valuable insights into the consequences of deindustrialization, the impact of military spending, and the urgent need to reassess strategies as resources dwindle and geopolitical tensions rise.
How is the use of fear as a political tool intertwined with the challenges of trust and disinformation in navigating turbulent international conflicts? What role is the race for Artificial General Intelligence and Quantum Computing playing in these rapidly changing situations? And ultimately, what should we, as citizens, be expecting from our leaders at the global stage as the struggle for power in the 21st century continues to intensify?](https://cdn.masto.host/urbanistssocial/media_attachments/files/114/225/212/645/094/052/original/8328eeab25c1c6c5.png "The Mad Scramble for Power: Global Superpowers’ Strategies for Energy, Economics, and War
