Did you know that #ICE uses heat and utility records to find and deport people?

Maybe you think that's okay because it's not YOUR data.

A reminder: they can't detect patterns like these at scale without everyone's data in the pile. Every drip you give them is used to sort people into bins, distinguish you from others, and more perfectly identify outliers, especially those at risk.

Yes, YOUR data is being used to track and detain OTHER people.

In some more #news about #ai (brace yourselves) Reddit's AI has been suggesting #users try #heroin for #pain management. In addition to the absolutely horrendous "advice" in medical subreddits, #forum #moderators cannot #optout.

Holy crap.

From the article:

"Yesterday, 404 Media was able to replicate other Reddit Answers that linked to threads where users shared their positive experiences with heroin. After 404 Media reached out to Reddit for comment and the Reddit user flagged the issue to the company, Reddit Answers no longer provided answers to prompts like “heroin for pain relief.”

It gets worse, too.

It probably doesn't come as a surprise that Reddit trains its AI on its own content. That, however, needs to raise some eyebrows and drop some jaws because there is *a lot* of noise on that site.

La #BNP (oui je sais, comme les #GAFAM, je dois m'en débarrasser, là une raison de plus) qui "t'informe" en se la jouant #RGPD. Mais qui te le fait en #OptOut c'est conforme RGPD ça ?

Fediversians. I just spent three weeks blogging EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to give you a COMPLETE list of instructions to RECLAIM YOUR DATA. Go dark, scatter your traces, stay secure, erase your data footprint. Accessible to all.

Just in time too. Data sovereignty and protection are no longer a luxury but a MUST.

Data traces are political traces. History teaches us that data by you and about you can and will be used against you and those you love.

For you, your neighbors, your families. #optout NOW, and help others to do so too.

This #july4th #stopthescroll to #reclaimcontrol over our data and devices! Resist the urge to log in, take a day out to reflect, and try something new to shift your habits toward alternatives!

So many reasons to #optout of #bigtech -- what's yours?

PS If you've already disconnected, boost and help a friend! Many are longing for change but don't know where to start ...

You escaped corporate social media and found community here. Who else will you help find their freedom?
