@BeAware I think we can use the Fediverse for two-way media. We can contribute to the internet, not just from the media providers themselves. Two-way. You can come back here to the Fediverse if you feel like creating content without the need for elites claiming the data is theirs or their products! 😄☀️

I wish there would be end-to-end encrypted, federated micro-blog social media. Social media entries and media aren't stored in plain text, but rather encrypted on the server, and only users who have subscribed to them have the ability to decrypt it.

🐝 Privacy Bee: Behind the Buzz, What’s Really Removed?
Privacy Bee (founded 2020, Harry Maugans, Georgia, USA) helps remove your data from brokers.
Slightly safer than Incogni/DeleteMe—they don’t sponsor YouTubers—but no service guarantees permanent removal.
Dashboards can mislead; US laws still apply.
DIY removal remains the safest option.
