Gilu Duran

journalist

Gilu Duran is a journalist and former political advisor known for his critical analysis of the influence of technology and billionaires on democracy. He recently gained attention after being banned from the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) for his succinct critique of a technology company's manifesto, which he labeled as 'fascism.' Duran argues that Silicon Valley's powerful tech leaders have aligned themselves with authoritarian movements, and he explores these themes in his book 'Nerdy Reich: The Fascism of Silicon Valley and the War Against Democracy.' He emphasizes the dangers posed by the intertwining of technology with political power, warning that this alliance undermines democratic principles.
