One of the things I published in the last two years is the utopian #novella "2042 – The Forbidden Library". It was funded by the Call for Stories of the CCC e.V. in Germany. Thus I could make it free for download on my website, but also print and ebook versions that are available everywhere. There's also an English version, even available at Waterstones. https://www.waterstones.com/book/2042-english-edition-softcover/klaudia-zotzmann-koch/9783903324725

Then there is my #dataprivacy longseller "Dann haben die halt meine Daten. Na und?!" which I'm updating about every one and a half years – at least in German. With lots and lots of practical how-tos for securing one's computer and phone, using encryption etc. And a hands-on approach on explaining, why all that matters. The updated English version, "Easy Ways to be More Private on the Internet", is overdue and I hope to finalise it this spring. #NaUndDasBuch #PrivacyBook

Supposing this happens in the near future, what would it mean in practice for the #Fediverse?

This piece nails it! The "new" TikTok "deal" is simply an exercise in decorative shape shifting for a situation that has basically been in place for 3 years.
This was never about addressing data privacy, propaganda, or national security. It was always about the US grabbing a big chunk of ownership one of the most popular and successful social media apps. The US Congress just made sure that is was Trump sycophants who got the "win". https://www.techdirt.com/2025/12/19/tiktok-deal-done-and-its-somehow-the-shittiest-possible-outcome-making-everything-worse/ #TikTok #Oracle #SilverLake #MGX #NationalSecurity #SocialMedia #China #ByteDance #Algorithm #Privacy #DataPrivacy
