Klaus Schwab’s Chief Advisor: Dictators can now eliminate privacy, know everything you do, think, feel and will use it against you…

“Dictators always dreamt about eliminating privacy, monitoring everyone, knowing everything you do, think, and feel… It is now possible.”

At the ‘Athens Democracy Forum’ in Greece, Chief advisor to Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, said the debate between privacy and security is older than civilization itself. The latest innovation, however — the ability to eliminate privacy — may be the most important moment in history and a Dictator’s wet dream, Harari said.

“It was not possible before… It is now possible… Dictators always dreamt about completely eliminating privacy, monitoring everyone all the time, and knowing everything you do, and not just everything you do but everything you think, and everything you feel.”

Whether it was a tyrant in ancient Greece or Stalin, they always wanted to do it but could never because, for example, the technology did not exist at that time. Now that the technology exists, however, some tyrants will be able to use it.
