Minha família está em Dubai e recebendo notificação da defesa civil para buscar abrigos devido aos ataques aéreos Iranianos que são direcionados a Abu Dahbi passarem direto por Dubai.

As comunicações nos Emirados Árabes Unidos estão prejudicada e saturadas, mas felizmente o isaCloud está sendo a forma delas conseguirem se comunicar já que video chamadas por outros apps como WhatsApp não são permitidas lá.

In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!

Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.

The restriction of #Twitter reading rights once again shows how capitalism threatens information freedom. A billionaire decides, and a global platform falls? That's not a fair system. We need decentralized alternatives like #Mastodon that aren't subject to the whims of individuals. It's time to stand up against the overwhelming power of capital. #CriticismOfCapitalism #Decentralization #CommunicationFreedom
