The growing surveillance state in the U.S. is far worse than you imagined

Mozilla is pro-Ai, there is an AI chat on the web browser now, and this guy Dennis Schubert, the techlead of #Diaspora, is working at #Mozilla as far as I remember. And he is so against deleting anything, leaving all public "public is public", and against blocking GAFAMs' scrapers?? (he was in 2017, 2018, ... I remember)..
(Mozilla which actually helped this project.)
So I am pretty sure, there is a real problem here with conflict of interests..
Let us not be defeated by the tyranny of thoughtless non-democratic innovation.

Important: I am not against any technology or thoughtful innovation. I am against lack of ethics, for-profit mindless purpose, destroying social structures, like they just don't care, making everyone's life a nightmare, through thoughless/poor design, poor implementation, without being elected.

"Some of what you're thinking about Ghormans, at this very moment, exists because we put it there."
"Hasn't there always been something slightly arrogant about the Ghor? Oh, we all feel it, what is that?"
"Last year, when the shipping lanes had to be shut down, how hard would it have been to simply allow the Imperial inspections that most other planets welcome?"

TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.
Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.
