Pratik Sinha - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: Tipsy Night School is a lecture-in-a-bar experience where an expert delivers a talk while audiences listen, ask questions, and sip on drinks!What's included: The Lecture, the Q/A, & 1 CocktailLecture Title:Glass Houses We Don't Own: Online Platforms, Propaganda, & DemocracyAbout The Lecture:Every app you open, every feed you scroll, every group you argue in, you don't own any of it. You're a tenant. The lease can be terminated without notice, without appeal, without explanation. And for as long as you live there, the walls are made of glass.This talk is about the houses we've built our public and private lives inside, and the fact that we hold no rights over them. It's about how that arrangement, glass walls, no ownership, no exit, has become one of the most effective tools ever built for political manipulation. How a small number of platforms now sit at the centre of how entire populations form their understanding of reality, and what happens when that infrastructure is captured by people who benefit from confusion, outrage, and fear.We'll talk about the corruption of the information ecosystem, not as an abstract problem but as a documented pattern with consequences, the deliberate amplification of hate speech, the political economy of outrage, and the strange double bind we're now in: watched constantly, and silenced selectively. Surveillance and censorship, usually treated as opposites, working in tandem.This isn't a talk about phones being bad for attention spans. It's about who built the house, who's standing outside watching, and why none of us got a say in either.Speaker: Pratik SinhaPratik Sinha is the co-founder of Alt News, an information verification and media watchdog website from India.
