@echo_pbreyer @signal Will stop. But #whatsapp #meta is very pleased to take full control of chat. They support #chatcontrol not only give them a monopoly on chat but also all Photos documents and text. The biggest #data grab in history. @EUCommission sells our data to #zuckerberg and destroys our privacy. #eu will fall soon in the hands of the fascist uprising supported by big tech and #tiktok

Italy & Sweden also pull back support, but 12 states still back it 🕵️

The bill mandates scanning all private chats—including encrypted ones—sparking major privacy concerns 🔐

I've started volunteer helping with data for Health Care for All Oregon #HCAO and as well as working with the data the org has, I'd love to pull together some health outcomes/opportunities/needs data, especially for the state of Oregon.

Whatever we can use to tell the story of universal healthcare being good and worth it and helping all kinds of people.

sources for county/zip/city data very welcome, I can do the aggregates or make maps

Social media should be about meaningful connections, authenticity and less exploitation of the people and their personal #data.

In fact, they should be social platforms that put people first and make #people to be members of social platforms and communities, not simply users that are used by big #tech companies to make money.

#Fediverse, especially with the #ActivityPub protocol, makes it possible and allows people to experience better digital life. #socialmedia #privacy #bigtech

It isn't just that they want us all to have digital identification, it's who they want to do it.

If US surveillance group Palantir are involved we're well & truly doomed.

The co-founder Peter Thiel, a major Trump supporter has said “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible” WTF

Pay or consent advertising is coming the UK 👎

At the Newsmast Foundation we oppose this binary choice approach to advertising which will, without doubt, affect the most marginalised communities.

We hope that the UK will follow the example of the EU and block Meta from actioning this change.
