💥 Put People Before Big Tech AI

🧠 Big Tech should not control the future of AI—or force communities to pay the price. Stop the corporate AI takeover and put people, democracy, and the public good first.

@hpod16 Dear Hannah. Thanks for taking your time to answer and to voice your opinion. I understand your points but don't agree. If the EU institutions don't abandon the undemocratic Big Tech - who should?

Have a wonderful day💚

The World Is Cutting Ties With America. It’s Already Costing Us.

And its only the beginning - through out Europe and other parts opf the world there are bigmovements going on to #STOPBIGTECH going to open source and decouple from the various vial social media.

Example: Several main cities in the EU have cut ties with Windows and AWS and started using EU alternatives. See: https://european-alternatives.eu/ and the list is getting larger - more to come..

@EUCommission please tell us how #W is an open and sovereign platform? Have you for instance an idea of what the people on the advisory board represents in an European context?

#StopBigTech #opensource #dkpol

Have you looked at who is on the the Advisory Board of #W social? It's wild to have a person from Tools for Humanity (Sam Altman is chairman) on the board and claim to be a true European social media.

Check it out for yourself.

Who are the investors behind #W ? What people from the "AI sectors? Would it be US AI companies?

#resistAI #StopBigTech #dkpol #AI

What is your take on these claims about #W @ilumium?

Is it just another big tech like social media with a for profit motive and more surveillance?

Thanks @_elena for your insights.

HUGE error by the @ec.europa.eu. Big tech must tell the public everything about energy, water and other used resources in their data centers.

They use our common resources and we must know how they use it to take informed decisions.

Hvordan kan Esbjerg kommune tillade et amerikansk firma som Prime Data Centers at opføre et hyper datacenter?

Har de ikke forståelse for digital uafhængighed, miljø og klima?

Kan de give en god forklaring på hvad centeret skal bruge sin komputerkraft på? Og om energiforbruget ikke kunne anvendes bedre andetsteds.

I don't get it @mozilla Why would you use Instagram or any other awful Meta app? Encrypted or not.

I fully support the right to encryption and the right to privacy. But Facebook, Instagram etc are just something one should avoid.

For anyone in the mood to read some geeky stuff about chat apps, here are some bits I've gathered. I'm not an expert, what do you think? 🤓🖖🏽

Boycott #WhatsApp, #META, USA, and Big Tech. Here are some European privacy-focused alternatives.

🏆️️️️️️ #DELTACHAT 🇩🇪
Super easy. Sign-up with nickname only. No ID or phone required. Uses anonymous email protocol. No servers. Messages destroyed once delivered FREE & 100% Open Source @delta

🎖️ #SESSION 🇨🇭
Focus on high anonymity. Decentralized network, easy to use.
Requires no phone, ID, or email. Messages travel inside a Loki Network tunnel (like Tor) hopping server-to-server, making tracking (in theory) impossible FREE & 100% Open Source
⚠️ Note: Currently lacks Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), making it theoretically vulnerable to future quantum attacks if messages are stored. Developers are working on Protocol V2 to implement PFS and Post-Quantum Cryptography @session

..Se usi un bridge per parlare con qualcuno su (x esempio) WhatsApp, la sicurezza si abbassa al livello di WhatsApp. Esempio.. tu usi l'app ufficiale ELEMENT X di matrix e quindi usi la massima sicurezza di crittografia in assoluto ma colui-colei che riceve usa una servizzio mail oppure apre il suo messaggio su un app non ufficiale la sicurezza si abbassa a quella dell app del ricevente, tu non sai mai se l'altro aprira il messaggio in un'instanza sicura al tuo stesso livello oppure no. Compromesso: L'interfaccia,specialmente quella di Element classica, può essere confusa con troppe opzioni tecniche. "Element X" è una versione più moderna e semplificata, ma l'ecosistema Matrix richiede un minimo di curva di apprendimento e le informazioni che si trovano al riguardo hanno spiegazioni abbastanza techniche nello spiegare i vari passaggi

È tutto automatico. Gestione dei Messaggi: Il sistema moderno è pensato per la chat istantanea. I messaggi vengono consegnati e cancellati dal server subito dopo il download. Questo risolve il vecchio problema della "posta elettronica che resta sul server",
rendendo l'esperienza meno sicura e identica a Signal o Telegram, ma con la differenza fondamentale che usa lo standard aperto MIME. Sicurezza e Server: Poiché ora l'app gestisce la creazione dell'account in modo anonimo, non stai dando il tuo numero o la tua email personale a nessuno. Open Source al 100%, europea, tedesca, e ora offre una registrazione veramente anonima e semplice.

4. #THREEMA 🇨🇭💼

Il punto di forza: Affidabilità e Conformità Europea Threema è lo standard per chi vuole sicurezza senza troppi pensieri tecnici, molto usata da amministrazioni e medici in Germania e Svizzera.Come funziona: Usa un ID anonimo (una stringa di numeri e lettere)

I have used @bitwarden for years and have been really satisfied with the manager. But now I have chosen an #EuropeanAlternative from @protonprivacy. Proton Pass. Also a great manager.

And I would recommend people to pay for the Apps and programs they use. I think that is fair.€€€
