Description

Lionel unpacks the terrifying global blackout of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the "nervous system of the modern internet". This single "operational issue" resulted in 11 million reports of outages across 2500 companies, paralyzing banks, delivery apps, and educational platforms. Was this mass failure a simple DNS hiccup, or a deliberate digital war game—a test of the "kill switch," a security protocol that can instantly silence finance, logistics, and news? Lionel explores how we are being mapped for compliance and why society is becoming "deliberately psychopathic by design". Tune in to guard your information, guard your independence, and find out what to do when the digital heartbeat stops.
