Carole Cadwalladr is working to expose the "broligarchy" and its increasing influence on state power in the US and UK through her new outlet "The Nerve."

She told DW her reporting shows how tech titans are collaborating with the US president and using artificial intelligence to target political messages and sway elections.

Despite the dystopian picture, Cadwalladr insisted nothing is inevitable. She sat down with DW to discuss how democracies are being reshaped and how citizens can push back.
