CW: NZPol IT Procurement BuyLocal
@kaffiene of course the #ISDS terms in the #CPTPPA are only part of it - as you point out gov't procurement was horribly biased in favour of #BitTech prior to that, too. That's because bureaucrats want to be seen to be in charge of the biggest budgets/procurements ($ amount) possible as it sets them up for advancement. I've no doubt people create RFPs with conditions effectively ruling out viable local options, because the 'big name' & big $ looks better on their CV.

If you value #privacy and are worried about #BitTech vacuuming up all the facial #biometrics they can find on the #internet, then never use a photo of your real face in your "account profile." Especially on garbage websites like #Zillow, or forums, or even #Mastodon.
Just go jack a unique AI generated face for every account:
