📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

It is, to me, even more concerning how no one (none of our elected deciders anyway) seem to realise how powerful the #clubofoligarchs is. None of any nations matter at all when said club decides to (seriously) *use* that power.
Seem to be a different topic? Imho nope.
This AWS incident🤨 shows what *could* happen, giving just a glimpse of it.

Warum #Bluesky vor seiner ultimativen Zerreissprobe steht und aus Angst vor Regulierung komplett eingeknickt ist... also vor der MAGA-Blase.

Das "etwas andere" Netzwerk ist vor allen Dingen eines: eine durch VCs gepushte US-Plattform, auf die ich zu lange reingefallen bin.

Mein oeffentlicher Abschiedsbrief in Richtung der dortigen Community und mein Hallo in Richtung #Mastodon und #Fediverse

Gerne teilen. Danke 🙏

Bluesky – Der Traum ist vorbei

Es wird Herbst... und das nicht nur draussen, sondern auch in meiner Social Media Welt. Ich bin wieder an dem Punkt angekommen, an dem ich eine Plattform verlasse. Und diesmal ist es Bluesky – diese einst so verheissungsvolle Alternative zu Twitter, die ein sicherer Ort fuer Austausch, Kreativitaet und Respekt sein

@pallenberg
🤨 Aber "Apple - Spotify - Google - Amazon" ?
Also im Grunde dann lieber direkt beim #ClubOfOligarchs ?
Schon klar. Irgendwo muss das Veröffentlichen ja passieren und von irgendwas muss Mensch ja leben.
Aber widerspricht das nicht auch der Argumentation im Blog?🤔

Reading the shocked reactions that Apple and Google removed ICE warning apps from their stores, I think that more should probably read about the role of IBM during the holocaust. Can we please finally get rid of the fairytale of social corporate responsibility in big tech?

@bastianallgeier
Makes me always wonder if "they" haven't seen the #ClubOfOligarchs very close to him at his inauguration.🤨
They were there for a reason. Or rather say Billions of...
Am not surprised at all. Considering the amassed wealth and possibilities of that club i expect a lot more to come.😱

So no need to point to historybooks in this case at this point.

🚨 Google is killing Android freedom.

Starting 2027, unverified apps can’t be side-loaded.

➡️ F-Droid harder to install
➡️ Custom APKs blocked
➡️ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

It’s time to switch to open alternatives: Graphene, Calyx, Lineage. ✊

Sign the petition to stop Google from limiting APK file usage: https://www.change.org/p/stop-google-from-limiting-apk-file-usage

Google: Don't be evil.
Google: Don't be evil.

@Tutanota
It's worth noting that Google is a member of the #clubofoligarchs 😒

Just sayin'
