  1. Most politicians don't particularly care about the downward spiral that digital life and slowly all of society has taken in the hands of #bigtech and its #surveillancecapitalism (If they did, it wouldn't have happened 😟 )

    But being attuned to, and prime manipulators of public opinion, they do care about crowd responses.

    And the booing by university students of former Google CEO pitching "#AI" will be noticed.

    Good so 🌱

  2. "The old world of tech is dying and the new cannot be born"

    A hard-hitting overview of the current state of tech by @baldur

    "The tech industry is shaping up to be one of the most hated industries in our modern era. It was built on the foundation of empire. They’ve been taking enormous risks believing they were empires in their own right. I suspect we’re about to find out whether that’s true or not"

  4. Dear,
    I have pledge to leave @linkedin in the next few weeks, but I wan't to share there some ressources to help people understand my reasons, and help them explore new paths.
    Any ideas ?

    I already published about the fediverse (with the help of @_elena 's video), about @cercle , about Shoshana Zuboff...

    Any other ideas ?

    Finally, great to hear. In general it seems hard to have people understand the difference between convienient locked-in platforms where you pay with your autonomy and privacy, compared to the open protocols the internet is build upon. We nevertheless do our best supporting the latter.

    For example with explanations like this to our Dutch organizations, encouraging them to embrace the 'good' protocols as well: nietzonder.nl

  6. Ron Deibert: “spyware is only the sharp point of the spear in a massive, growing, and largely unregulated surveillance marketplace that is deeply anchored in the personal data surveillance economy.”

  7. « On Android 16, a regular app with no special permissions can leak the user’s real IP, even with “Always-On VPN” + “Block connections without VPN” turned on. Those two settings are supposed to be the hard guarantee that nothing leaves the device outside the tunnel.

    They don’t hold here. » :androidalt:

  9. The ACLU sued a landlord for forcing AI surveillance into tenants' homes.

  10. Your lease didn't just rent you a roof. It rented you a node in a network.

    Smart locks, thermostats, and water sensors are logging your life to the cloud. And you didn't consent.

  11. You chose the smart vacuum. You didn't choose the smart lock on your front door.

    One you can unplug. The other? You're forced to use it. You can't swap it for a dumb deadbolt. You can't opt out. It's in the lease.

    Your home shouldn't be a surveillance tool you can't turn off.

  12. CW: AI generated episode cover. My podcast isn't AI though. If it was I'd make it get rid of the breaths and fumbled words that are sometimes in there.

    Your water sensor knows when you shower. Your thermostat knows when you sleep. Your smart lock knows who visits.

    And your landlord owns all that data.
