La multa UE a X svela il trucco dell'Ingegneria Sociale. Non è solo una sanzione economica. La decisione di Bruxelles contro la piattaforma di Elon Musk conferma i sospetti di milioni di utenti: dietro il caos dei bot e l'odio online c'è una "scatola nera" progettata non per la libertà, ma per il controllo. Il 5/12/ 25 segna una data storica per internet

#FreedomOfSpeech ≠ #FreedomOfReach sounds only infuriating to those who mistake #Fediverse #diversity for a distributed server infrastructure they're entitled to "use".

CW: Long thread/34
This is the problem with the idea that "freedom of speech isn't #FreedomOfReach" - if a platform won't let people who want to hear from you see what you have to say, they are indeed compromising freedom of speech:

Likewise, "censorship" is not limited to "things that governments do."

Despite what you may have heard, "#FreedomOfReach" *is* freedom of speech: when a platform interposes itself between willing speakers and their willing audiences, it arrogates to itself the power to control what we're allowed to say and who is allowed to hear us:

We have a wide variety of tools to make a rule like this stick.

I've finally switched to DuckDuckGo. I can't stand how bad Google results have gotten.
I made an explicit search for my own obscure website and it was well below all the payola "SEO" bullshit. Simply typing the name produced the desired result in DDG.
I know it's not perfect, but the other products are unusable.

We can't (and shouldn't) bring back the old, good internet.
We can (and must!) make a NEW, good internet.

The #RightOfExit and the #FreedomOfReach (the principle that anyone can talk to anyone who wants to talk to them) are both key to #TechnologicalSelfDetermination. They are both imperfect and incomplete, but together, they are stronger, and form a powerful check on both greed and cruelty-based predation:

Then there's #FreedomOfReach: platforms routinely and deceptively conflate *recommending* a creator's work with *showing that creator's work to the people who explicitly asked to see it*.

When you follow or subscribe to a feed, that is not a "signal" to be mixed into the recommendation system. It's an *order*: "Show me this." Not "Show me things like this."
Show.
Me.
This.

Interested in GitHub's Copilot, imagining it will open programming doors? @doctorow shows bright and clear how this will slowly transition to a locked-in "enshittified" programming world controlled by Microsoft.
