Government Exits X, Silicon Valley's Political Dance, and VPN Surges Amid Bans · Connecting the Dots

• 0:00
  Today's tech news moves fast, but understanding
• 0:03
  it shouldn't be hard. That's why Snarfl Solutions
• 0:06
  Group brings you Connecting the Dots, where we
• 0:09
  break down what's happening in tech and why it
• 0:11
  matters to you. Now, let's dive in with your
• 0:14
  hosts. Usually when we think about who controls
• 0:18
  the flow of information, we picture something,
• 0:21
  um... incredibly structured, like I always imagine
• 0:24
  this massive, heavily guarded switchboard from
• 0:27
  the 1950s. Right, the traditional gatekeeper
• 0:29
  model. It's very orderly, very top -down, and
• 0:32
  honestly it's very comforting because you know
• 0:34
  exactly who is in charge of the message. But
• 0:36
  then you look at what's actually happening on
• 0:38
  our screens today and that switchboard is, I
• 0:40
  mean, it's completely unrecognizable. Absolutely.
• 0:43
  We are looking at an information landscape right
• 0:45
  now that is just... fundamentally chaotic. The
• 0:48
  gatekeepers are fighting the platform builders,
• 0:50
  the billionaires are playing politics, and, you
• 0:53
  know, everyday users are just bypassing all of
• 0:55
  them with a few taps on a screen. It is a total
• 0:57
  free -for -all out there. And that is exactly
• 0:59
  what we are getting into today. Welcome to Connecting
• 1:02
  the Dots, the daily show breaking down tech news
• 1:05
  and its everyday impact. I'm Alex. And I'm Morgan,
• 1:08
  representing the Snarfle Solutions Group out
• 1:10
  of Sacramento, California. And today is Friday,
• 1:13
  June 19th, 2026. Happy Juneteenth to everyone
• 1:17
  tuning in. Let's unpack this. We have a really
• 1:20
  dense stack of material today. We are pulling
• 1:23
  from a variety of sources. tech journalism, government
• 1:27
  press releases, app download analytics, and some
• 1:30
  striking reporting from a new political book
• 1:32
  called Regime Change. But before we get into
• 1:34
  this morning's tech article report, let's run
• 1:37
  through a rapid fire briefing of what's happening
• 1:39
  outside your door and in the markets just to
• 1:41
  get your day started. Definitely. If you are
• 1:44
  in Sacramento celebrating Juneteenth today, you
• 1:46
  are getting a gorgeous one. sunny skies hitting
• 1:49
  a high of 82 degrees with a nice light breeze
• 1:53
  wind blowing at about 5 to 12 miles per hour.
• 1:56
  You'll want to keep an eye on the broader Nashville
• 1:57
  map if you have travel plans though. We're tracking
• 1:59
  282 active U .S. weather alerts this morning
• 2:03
  and 209 of those are overland. So checking weather
• 2:07
  .gov before hitting the road is definitely the
• 2:10
  smart move today. For sure. Shifting to the financial
• 2:12
  markets, Thursday saw some incredibly heavy trading.
• 2:15
  We tracked over 985 million trades for the Dow
• 2:19
  Joneses. That's huge. Right. And the S &P 500
• 2:22
  saw an absolutely staggering volume crossing
• 2:24
  over 6 .3 billion trades. There was major movement
• 2:27
  across the board. Over in crypto, as of today,
• 2:30
  Friday, Bitcoin closed at 62 ,701 .34. That's
• 2:35
  down 181 .54 for the day, which translates to
• 2:39
  a A minor drop of 0 .29%. Let's cap off the morning
• 2:43
  briefing with the local sports scene. Out on
• 2:45
  the diamond, the SF Giants ended up in a 0 -0
• 2:48
  tie against the Atlanta Braves. Tough break.
• 2:51
  Yeah. Meanwhile, the Athletics completely shut
• 2:53
  out the Los Angeles Angels 5 -0, with Gage Jem
• 2:56
  throwing a phenomenal game as the winning pitcher.
• 2:58
  Good for him. Now that we're all caught up, let's
• 3:00
  dive into the core of today's show. Let's unpack
• 3:02
  this. Our overarching theme today is the modern
• 3:05
  battle for the control of information. We'll
• 3:07
  look at a major UK government department boycotting
• 3:10
  X, examine how tech millionaires are cozying
• 3:13
  up to political power, and finish with how everyday
• 3:15
  internet users in India are, well, entirely outsmarting
• 3:19
  a national app ban. Today's episode is brought
• 3:21
  to you by Strong Coffee. The premium instant

• 3:40
  let's start across the pond, because we are seeing
• 3:42
  a significant, highly public fracture between
• 3:46
  the UK government and X. The platform formerly
• 3:48
  known as Twitter, yeah. Right. Richard Hermer,
• 3:50
  the attorney general for England and Wales, has
• 3:52
  explicitly ordered his staff to stop posting
• 3:55
  on X. I mean, their last post went out on June
• 3:57
  12th. To give some context on why this matters,
• 4:00
  government departments have historically relied
• 4:02
  on acts to quickly push out press releases, policy
• 4:05
  updates, and safety alerts. Exactly. Public safety
• 4:08
  alerts. But Hermer has essentially pulled the
• 4:10
  plug. His department will only use the platform
• 4:13
  in absolute emergencies to correct specific disinformation.
• 4:16
  He's making a very deliberate choice to withdraw
• 4:18
  official government legitimacy from the space.
• 4:20
  And the reasoning behind this withdrawal stems
• 4:23
  from those violent riots we saw in Southampton
• 4:25
  and Belfast earlier this month. Hermer is raising
• 4:28
  severe concerns that X is being weaponized by
• 4:31
  bad actors to intentionally incite violence.
• 4:34
  Yeah, to divide communities. And if we look at
• 4:36
  the sources, the details of how this played out
• 4:39
  are just intense. In Southampton, 11 police officers
• 4:43
  were injured during violence connected to the
• 4:45
  case of Henry Nowak. Nowak was a teenager who
• 4:48
  was fatally stabbed, right? Yes. And the tragic
• 4:51
  kind of bizarre twist here is that his killer
• 4:53
  actually called the police and falsely claimed
• 4:55
  that he was the victim of a racist assault by
• 4:57
  Nowak. Oh, wow. And that false narrative was
• 5:00
  just immediate gasoline on a fire. On X, far
• 5:03
  -right agitators amplified this disinformation.
• 5:06
  You had a high -profile personality sharing doctored
• 5:09
  body cam footage to rile people up. And then
• 5:11
  you have the platform's own technology actively
• 5:13
  failing. X's AI tool, Grok, reportedly misidentified
• 5:17
  two of the police officers involved in the case.
• 5:19
  Wait, really? Yeah, their personal information
• 5:21
  was widely shared online, completely compromising
• 5:23
  their safety. Less than a week later in Belfast,
• 5:26
  a very similar cycle repeated. Far -right activists
• 5:29
  used the platform to organize demonstrations
• 5:32
  over a separate stabbing, this one involving
• 5:35
  a Sudanese refugee. A Northern Irish MP actually
• 5:38
  described the resulting violence as a pogrom.
• 5:42
  Homes were targeted, healthcare workers were
• 5:44
  physically stopped and questioned on their way
• 5:46
  to work. That is terrifying. And throughout all
• 5:50
  of this, the sources point out that Elon Musk
• 5:51
  was frequently engaging with and amplifying some
• 5:54
  of these agitators. This is where we really have
• 5:57
  to re -evaluate how we think about social media
• 5:59
  platforms. People often compare X to a public
• 6:02
  town square. Right. But a town square is just
• 6:04
  empty space. What Hermer is dealing with is more
• 6:07
  like a public announcement system. How do you
• 6:09
  mean? Imagine a massive PA system, but the owner
• 6:12
  of the system has programmed the software to
• 6:14
  automatically crank the volume dial up to 100
• 6:17
  whenever someone starts shouting inflammatory
• 6:19
  device of things. And at the same time, turning
• 6:21
  the volume down on the dry factual updates from
• 6:24
  the authorities. Exactly. The algorithm rewards
• 6:27
  the shouting, because shouting keeps people in
• 6:29
  the room longer. So Herrmer, representing the
• 6:32
  government, is looking at this and saying, why
• 6:34
  are we even holding a microphone in this room?
• 6:36
  We're just legitimizing a system designed to
• 6:39
  drown us out. That is the core of Herrmer's argument.
• 6:43
  In a recent speech, he explicitly warned against
• 6:46
  letting a, quote, very small group of crypto
• 6:49
  -funded millionaires use these algorithmic debates
• 6:52
  to sow division. But, you know, we have to look
• 6:55
  at the real -world impact of his decision to
• 6:57
  leave. When official agencies abandon these spaces,
• 7:00
  it profoundly affects how ordinary people navigate
• 7:03
  a crisis. Oh, for sure. Think about your own
• 7:05
  family's group chat during a local emergency.
• 7:08
  If there's a riot, a wildfire, or an active police
• 7:11
  incident, we have all been trained over the last
• 7:13
  decade to open these real -time platforms for
• 7:16
  immediate updates from the authorities. Exactly.
• 7:18
  And when the government withdraws, they leave
• 7:20
  an information vacuum. In a crisis, People are
• 7:23
  desperate for updates. If the official channels
• 7:26
  aren't there providing facts, the algorithm will
• 7:28
  gladly fill that void with whoever is screaming
• 7:30
  the loudest. By trying to distance themselves
• 7:33
  from a toxic environment, the government might
• 7:36
  inadvertently be cutting everyday citizens off
• 7:38
  from critical, real -time public safety updates.
• 7:42
  It highlights a massive irony in global politics
• 7:44
  right now. In the UK, you have government ministers
• 7:47
  actively running away from controversial tech
• 7:49
  billionaires to maintain their authority. But
• 7:52
  meanwhile, over in the US, some of the biggest
• 7:55
  tech billionaires on the planet are quietly doing
• 7:57
  the exact opposite to secure their own influence.
• 8:01
  Which brings us to our second story. We are diving
• 8:03
  into some fascinating new reporting from the
• 8:05
  book Regime Change, written by Maggie Hamerman
• 8:08
  and Jonathan Swan. The book pulls back the curtain
• 8:11
  on the behind -the -scenes dynamics between major
• 8:13
  tech billionaires and Donald Trump following
• 8:15
  the 2024 election. And just to set the stage
• 8:18
  here, we aren't taking political sides and we
• 8:20
  aren't endorsing any viewpoints regarding Trump,
• 8:22
  these billionaires or any of the publications
• 8:24
  involved. We're strictly looking at the reporting
• 8:26
  from Haberman and Swan as a fascinating case
• 8:29
  study in how power operates when the doors are
• 8:31
  closed. Impartiality is key here. The reporting
• 8:34
  details a scramble by some of the most powerful
• 8:37
  men in Silicon Valley, specifically Metta's Mark
• 8:40
  Zuckerberg and Amazon's Jeff Bezos, to ingratiate
• 8:43
  themselves with Trump ahead of his second term.
• 8:45
  Yeah. And the anecdotes the authors share are
• 8:48
  incredibly vivid. Let's start with Zuckerberg.
• 8:51
  According to the book, Zuckerberg texted Trump
• 8:54
  a photo of a letter written by one of his grade
• 8:56
  school age children. In this letter, the child
• 8:59
  wrote that they looked forward to the golden
• 9:01
  age of America. Which is a prominent slogan from
• 9:04
  Trump's campaign. Exactly. The book then notes
• 9:06
  that shortly after Thanksgiving 2024, Zuckerberg
• 9:10
  visited Mar -a -Lago. During that visit, Trump
• 9:13
  played the national anthem for him over the speakers.
• 9:16
  But it wasn't a traditional rendition. Trump
• 9:18
  deliberately played a version performed by the
• 9:20
  J -6 prison choir, which is a group of detained
• 9:23
  January 6th rioters. Then you have Jeff Bezos.
• 9:26
  The book recounts a private dinner between Bezos
• 9:28
  and Trump in December 2024. This was a few months
• 9:31
  before Bezos unsuccessfully sought a business
• 9:33
  favor from the president. And during this dinner,
• 9:37
  Bezos reportedly denigrated his own publication,
• 9:39
  The Washington Post. referring to it as his worst
• 9:43
  financial investment. According to the excerpt,
• 9:46
  Bezos complained to Trump that his staff at the
• 9:47
  paper were terrible and that they don't listen.
• 9:51
  He contrasted them with his other businesses,
• 9:53
  telling Trump, my other companies, they listen.
• 9:56
  And as the sources point out, this wasn't just
• 9:58
  idle venting. A couple of months later, Bezos
• 10:01
  authorized a sweeping downsizing of the paper,
• 10:04
  cutting a third of the workforce. It's fascinating
• 10:06
  to see Bezos, a tech CEO, used to absolute top
• 10:10
  -down corporate compliance clashing so openly
• 10:13
  with the culture of a journalistic institution
• 10:15
  where the staff fundamentally believes their
• 10:17
  job is to push back and remain independent. Right.
• 10:19
  But the most revealing part of this reporting
• 10:22
  is how Trump reacted to all of this behind their
• 10:24
  backs. The book reports that Trump would frequently
• 10:27
  regale his associates with these stories. Openly
• 10:30
  showing off the text he received and saying you
• 10:32
  would not believe the text I got from these tech
• 10:34
  guys He was openly mocking them the book quotes
• 10:37
  a conversation between Trump and Elon Musk where
• 10:40
  Trump points out how much Zuckerberg and Bezos
• 10:43
  hated him in 2016 and tried to knock him down
• 10:45
  But look at them now and Musk's reported response
• 10:48
  was calling their efforts first -class groveling
• 10:50
  It paints a picture of traditional political
• 10:52
  power sitting at the head of the table, demanding
• 10:55
  tribute from corporate America. But I have to
• 10:57
  push back on that traditional power dynamic.
• 11:00
  The assumption in these stories is always that
• 11:02
  the politician, the president, holds the real
• 11:05
  power and the billionaires are just desperate
• 11:07
  courtiers. But if we break down what these men
• 11:10
  actually control, does that hold up? I see what
• 11:13
  you're trying to say. I mean, these billionaires
• 11:14
  own the literal infrastructure of human communication.
• 11:18
  They write the algorithms that decide what news
• 11:20
  your family sees, what political ads reach the
• 11:22
  voters, and how information is prioritized on
• 11:25
  a global scale. So you're asking who is actually
• 11:27
  kissing whose ring? Think of it like a corporate
• 11:29
  boardroom. The government acts like the CEO,
• 11:33
  they sit at the big desk, they have the title,
• 11:35
  and they hold the regulatory pin. They think
• 11:37
  they're running the company. But these big tech
• 11:40
  billionaires... They are the IT department. Yes,
• 11:44
  and the IT department holds the passwords to
• 11:46
  the servers. The CEO can make all the demands
• 11:48
  they want, but if the IT guy decides to throttle
• 11:51
  the network, the whole company goes dark. It
• 11:53
  is a bizarre mutual dependency disguised as dominance.
• 11:58
  The politicians have legislative power. They
• 12:01
  can make life incredibly difficult for Meta or
• 12:03
  Amazon with antitrust suits or regulations. So.
• 12:07
  The billionaires engage in this interpersonal
• 12:09
  lobbying to protect their empires. But the politicians
• 12:12
  desperately need the billionaires' platforms
• 12:14
  to reach the voters in the first place. Exactly.
• 12:17
  And how does this actually change your morning
• 12:19
  routine? Why does a dinner at Mar -a -Lago matter
• 12:22
  to someone commuting to work today? Because the
• 12:25
  apps you scroll through over your coffee, the
• 12:27
  news articles your family consumes, the very
• 12:29
  reality presented to you on your feed, it is
• 12:31
  heavily influenced by these behind the scenes
• 12:33
  interactions. When the owner of a major newspaper
• 12:36
  is having private dinners with political leaders
• 12:38
  and complaining about his own editorial staff,
• 12:41
  that inevitably impacts the information ecosystem
• 12:43
  you rely on to understand the world. It is top
• 12:46
  -down control at its most elite level. But the
• 12:49
  people at the bottom are not just passively accepting
• 12:52
  what they are given. We've talked about billionaires
• 12:55
  playing politics and governments abandoning platforms.
• 12:57
  Let's look closer at what happens when a government
• 13:00
  outright bans a major communication tool and
• 13:03
  the citizens use technology to fight back. This
• 13:06
  brings us to our final story, taking us to India.
• 13:10
  The Indian government recently instituted a temporary
• 13:13
  nationwide ban on the messaging app Telegram.
• 13:16
  This was implemented over concerns regarding
• 13:18
  massive cheating on the neat entrance exams.
• 13:21
  The government stated that fraudsters were actively
• 13:23
  using telegram groups to share fake exam papers
• 13:26
  and target student candidates. In response, they
• 13:28
  ordered internet service providers across the
• 13:30
  country to block the app for about a week. Now,
• 13:33
  ten years ago, a government order blocking an
• 13:35
  app meant the app simply disappeared from your
• 13:37
  phone. Today, it's a completely different story.
• 13:40
  The immediate fallout of this ban is a master
• 13:42
  class in modern Internet resilience. According
• 13:45
  to data from app figures, the day India announced
• 13:47
  the telegram restriction, daily downloads of
• 13:50
  major VPN apps spiked by an incredible 49 percent.
• 13:54
  It was the single biggest day for VPN downloads
• 13:57
  in the country since at least the start of 2025.
• 14:00
  The specific numbers are wild. On Apple's App
• 14:02
  Store in India, downloads of ProtonVPN jumped
• 14:05
  113 percent. TurboVPN spiked 85%, and people
• 14:10
  didn't just seek out VPNs, they flooded into
• 14:12
  alternative messaging apps. Signal saw downloads
• 14:15
  increase by 72%. Another app called iMe, which
• 14:19
  actually runs on the Telegram API, saw its daily
• 14:22
  downloads explode from around 827 to over 50
• 14:25
  ,000 in a single day. But the statistic that
• 14:27
  completely upends the narrative came from Sensor
• 14:30
  Tower. Despite the aggressive government ban,
• 14:33
  Telegram's daily active users in India actually
• 14:35
  rose by 17 % on the day the ban was announced.
• 14:38
  Which is just incredible. Wait, the government
• 14:40
  announces a nationwide blockade and usage goes
• 14:43
  up 17%. Is regional internet censorship completely
• 14:46
  dead? Trying to ban an app today seems like trying
• 14:49
  to hold water in your bare hands. Yep. The harder
• 14:52
  the government squeezes, the faster the water
• 14:54
  slips through their fingers and they just end
• 14:56
  up with a mess. It's an incredibly difficult
• 14:58
  technical challenge for any government. Let's
• 15:01
  look at how that water slips through because
• 15:03
  users in India utilized a couple of very specific
• 15:06
  technologies to bypass the blocks. The first
• 15:09
  is something called MT Proto. Telegram actually
• 15:13
  built this protocol natively into their app specifically
• 15:16
  to circumvent Internet censorship. Walk me through
• 15:19
  the mechanism there. How does MT Proto beat a
• 15:22
  government blockade? When you enable MT Proto
• 15:25
  and enter a proxy server's details, It obfuscates
• 15:28
  your telegram traffic before routing it. A standard
• 15:31
  VPN is like putting your letter inside a heavily
• 15:33
  armored truck. The internet service provider
• 15:36
  can see the truck, they know it's a VPN, even
• 15:38
  if they can't read the letter inside. But obfuscation
• 15:41
  is like sending a letter in a completely blank
• 15:43
  unmarked envelope. The service provider sees
• 15:45
  the data moving, but they have absolutely no
• 15:47
  idea it belongs to telegram, so their automated
• 15:49
  blockers let it pass right through. That makes
• 15:51
  sense. The sources also mentioned users relying
• 15:53
  heavily on SOCKS5 proxies. But wait, hold on.
• 15:57
  I've read that a SOCKS proxy doesn't actually
• 16:00
  encrypt your data. If my data isn't encrypted,
• 16:04
  how is it hiding me from the government's block?
• 16:06
  That's a great distinction to make. You're right.
• 16:08
  SOCKS doesn't provide heavy encryption, which
• 16:10
  actually makes it much faster for things like
• 16:12
  messaging or streaming. Instead of encrypting
• 16:14
  the data, it acts like a mail forwarding service.
• 16:16
  Oh, OK. If you try to send a message directly
• 16:19
  to telegram servers, the Indian service provider
• 16:22
  sees the destination address and drops the connection.
• 16:25
  But with a SOCKS5 proxy, you send your message
• 16:28
  to a third -party server in, say, Singapore.
• 16:31
  And the government block doesn't care about the
• 16:33
  Singapore server. Precisely. Your service provider
• 16:36
  just sees you talking to a random server in Singapore,
• 16:38
  which is allowed. Then that Singapore server
• 16:41
  acts on your behalf, forwards the message to
• 16:43
  Telegram, gets the reply, and sends it back to
• 16:46
  you. It masks your IP address and changes the
• 16:48
  route your traffic takes to bypass the geographical
• 16:51
  roadblock entirely. The technical adaptation
• 16:53
  by everyday users is staggering, and it highlights
• 16:56
  a much broader, almost philosophical issue with
• 17:00
  government censorship. Pavel Durov, the CEO of
• 17:02
  Telegram, spoke about this exact dynamic recently
• 17:06
  at the Oslo Freedom Forum. He brought up Russia's
• 17:09
  multi -billion -dollar attempt to block Telegram.
• 17:12
  How did that go? The Russian government went
• 17:14
  all out. They banned hundreds of VPNs, they physically
• 17:17
  installed surveillance hardware in data centers,
• 17:20
  and they completely failed. They spent billions
• 17:22
  and couldn't keep teenagers off a messaging app.
• 17:25
  Dorov pointed out the unintended consequence
• 17:27
  of these bans. Banning apps doesn't stop usage.
• 17:30
  It just forces millions of teenagers to figure
• 17:32
  out how to download and configure VPNs. And once
• 17:35
  a teenager is operating behind a VPN, they suddenly
• 17:38
  have unlocked untraceable access to far worse,
• 17:42
  completely unregulated and illegal content across
• 17:44
  the global internet. The attempt to wall them
• 17:47
  off actually throws them into the deepest end
• 17:49
  of the pool. So the government action designed
• 17:51
  to protect the integrity of a national exam ends
• 17:54
  up accelerating the tech literacy of the entire
• 17:57
  youth population, exposing them to a much wilder
• 18:01
  frontier. If we bring this back to your daily
• 18:04
  life, especially for professionals who rely on
• 18:07
  global communication, it proves a vital point.
• 18:09
  What's that? In 2026, shutting off the Internet
• 18:12
  is virtually impossible. The tech literacy of
• 18:15
  everyday families is vastly outpacing the speed
• 18:18
  and capability of government regulation. The
• 18:21
  authorities can issue all the blocking orders
• 18:23
  they want from that traditional switchboard we
• 18:25
  talked about earlier. But if the user base knows
• 18:27
  how to configure a proxy in two minutes, the
• 18:30
  switchboard is effectively useless. Absolutely.

• 18:44
  to look at the massive picture we've painted
• 18:46
  today, the theme is incredibly clear. It all
• 18:48
  comes back to that battle for control. We started
• 18:51
  with the UK minister logging his department off
• 18:53
  X because the official government channels can
• 18:56
  no longer compete with the algorithmic noise
• 18:58
  and disinformation of the platform. Then, we
• 19:01
  looked at American tech billionaires privately
• 19:04
  dining with politicians trying to secure their
• 19:07
  own corporate interests while holding the keys
• 19:09
  to the algorithms that shape our global news
• 19:11
  diet. And finally, we saw Indian students instantly
• 19:15
  downloading proxies to bypass a nationwide ban,
• 19:19
  proving that top -down technological control
• 19:21
  is quickly becoming a myth in the face of modern
• 19:25
  tech literacy. The defining battle of our time
• 19:28
  isn't fought with armies or trade embargoes,
• 19:30
  it's fought over the control of information.
• 19:33
  Which leaves us with a lingering question to
• 19:35
  mull over as you go about your day. If governments
• 19:38
  can no longer effectively ban apps and official
• 19:41
  public agencies are being forced to abandon public
• 19:44
  platforms, all while tech billionaires quietly
• 19:47
  consolidate influence over private dinners with
• 19:49
  politicians, who will ultimately get to decide
• 19:52
  what is truth on the internet 10 years from now.
• 19:54
  It's a question we are all going to have to answer
• 19:56
  whether we want to or not. We're here to help
• 19:58
