  1. So it seems to me that Google can see your phone IP even if location is turned off and you are running a VPN. huh. I just went to see how to delete Google auto-generated passkeys and the only way seems to be to sign out of the device account (which I need).

    Remember, Google continuously pester you to add your home address.

  6. I spruced up my website, and went through a few old posts. This one from 2019 might interest some here. Hackers, Chucklingsquad, the Laughing Man and how data is always uncontrollable. Special mentions to Vague Blur and the League of Noble Peers.

  16. So why does Google keep hassling for my home address? What possible legitimate reason can it have?

    This is a new thing, and it can still see my general location even though every location setting is off.

  21. Macron is now openly calling out bigtech extractive practices and commidification of the user. Good. We need a lot more of this. We need universities to lead this pressure everywhere.

  26. News in Instagram robo-hacking: I just got this. I deactivated my IG about 5 yrs ago. I used to love IG when it wasnt owned by FB but now its just a dump for marketing and grifting, just what we all feared after FB bought it. I haven't attempted to log in for years. Be warned. #instagram #hacking #meta #facebook #Datasociety #youaretheproduct

  36. I'm astonished to read about the Meta child chatbots that engage in "sensual" intimate conversations. How can Meta even make these bots let alone populate anyone's socmed feed with them? That's even before you consider the underage aspect. Just an astonishing level of capitalist malign practice towards users. Why do national governments just accept this?

  47. Surveillance society: #Zoom just updated its T&Cs to listen in and record all your conversations to use in its AI bot training. If you opt out you lose all kinds of functionality. But Id guess if youre an employee and your employer has opted in, then you get no choice. #datasociety

  48. Let's play a game.

    Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck
    Don't say Word, say text document
    Don't say Photoshop, say image editing
    Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet
    Don't say...

    Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.

  53. The Bluesky shareholders are competitors to Fediverse apps. They ARE very commercial, they are data extractive (eg see screenshots of the link referral). The new socmed commercial companies are now really understanding that Megacorps Socmed will not last, and they are coming for our data. But, we are the Freeverse and I think it makes no difference to us. I do think fedi ppl are a bit different, we want something different.
