On Mastodon, climate effects and poor reliability of AI/Tech are often mentioned. Their exploitative character far less so.

But it's important to know:
To keep users safe from harm, tech companies do harm to their data workers. Please read this report by Fasica Berhane Gebrekidan. Then reconsider planning your holiday or making fun pictures with AI.

❗TRIGGER WARNING: explicit depictions of violence and abuse.

With the Big Tech oligarchs taking more and more power, the time has come to reflect and mobilise more people into action.

Here's my article about that: https://freeknowledge.eu/bigtech-transition-to-sovereignty
