    Destroying Autocracy – November 13, 2025Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.The Programmer’s Fulcrum is the future (and smaller) home for a fusion of Symfony Station and Battalion. Its tagline is Devs Defending Democracy, Developing the OMN.You can sign up now and for 2025 get an email with links to and featured articles for each week’s Symfony Station Communiqué and Battalion “Destroying Autocracy” post along with their featured articles. And you’ll be set with TPF after the fusing.We are posting on the Fediverse now at @thefulcrum @thefulcrum.dev and original website content will start in 2026.Featured Item(s)Wrekage/Salvage writes:Once you’ve seized the tools of political life to build communal power, it’s hard to forget what a hammer feels like in your hand.Bonfire Networks is a tiny software org that has spent the past couple of years building a framework for communities on the open social web. At the end of last week, they released Bonfire Social, a microblogging app.Like Mastodon, Bonfire Social runs on ActivityPub, but it takes differently opinionated approach to sociability.(It has) features I (and many others) have been advocating for in Fediverse software for years, often while people explained at length that such things simply could not be implemented.Most exhilarating to me, though, is that they aren’t just building another microblogging app. They’re making a toolkit for internet community software that is healthy and good and designed around real human needs from the start.As they put it in their crowdfunding campaign, they’re making building blocks for communities on the open social web.Sparks fly upTotal awesomeness that needs to blow up. We will cover (and support) Bonfire extensively on The Programmer’s Fulcrum.We start and end with good news to make the middle bearable.The response to Russia’s War Crimes, Techno Feudalism, and other douchebaggeryThe Kyiv Independent reports:Ukraine slaps new sanctions on Putin’s team and propagandist publishersRadio Free Europe reports:EU ‘Democracy Shield’ Aims To Counter Russian DisinformationOpen Web Advocacy has:Tim Berners-Lee On Apple’s Browser Engine Ban and Web AppsHeise reports:Office alternative from Germany by Ionos and Nextcloud is now availableGreat.Speaking of Germany, The Guardian reports:ChatGPT violated copyright law by ‘learning’ from song lyrics, German court rulesMeta could face millions in fines for not signing content deals in AustraliaDigital Rights Bytes asks:Can the government read my text messages?404 Media reports:Judge Rules Flock Surveillance Images Are Public Records That Can Be Requested By AnyoneTechCrunch reports:Wikipedia urges AI companies to use its paid API, and stop scrapingBrookings says:We should all be LudditesPreach brother.Poynter reports:As independent newspapers disappear, a secretive alliance fights to save themNeutralOpen Knowledge shares:Open letter: Harnessing open source AI to advance digital sovereigntyThe Ringer has:How Catastrophic Is It If the AI Bubble Bursts?
