If you need a reminder that collective action and boycotts get it done, look no further than the sales of #Tesla's #Swastikars and how they've tanked breathtakingly in the last year to the point of forcing #SpaceKaren to consider pivoting the direction of the org. All those protests outside Tesla showrooms and the social stigmatization of owning a Tesla have shown the world's biggest hoarder of money what we think when an unelected technocrat with ulterior motives takes a chainsaw to the government.

But we need to keep up the pressure. If you're in the US and upset about the US government's support of genocide, buy local and make US consumer goods companies notice a drop in sales. Grow your own cilantro indoors - it'll be one less thing you'd need to buy at the store.

If you're outside the US, check the label on anything you buy and put those "California almonds" back on the shelf. Switch to non-US tech, one service at a time. Annoyed with Netflix content? Try Mubi for a while.

Those who weaponize trade shouldn't be surprised when others return the favour.

Tech should serve you, not track you. Every app you replace, every account you delete, is a step toward reclaiming your privacy and digital freedom. Start small, but start today. #DeGoogle #digitalsovereignty #boycottusa #boycottustech

Musk liet Starlinksysteem boven Oekraïne uitzetten om zo een Oekraïense aanval te verhinderen

Elon Musk heeft in 2022 het Starlink-systeem boven Oekraïne laten uitzetten. Het Oekraïense leger kon op slag geen drones meer gebruiken en ook de onderlinge communicatie viel uit. Musk verhinderde daarmee eigenhandig een Oekraïens offensief bij Cherson.

Techbedrijf aan de leiband van Trump – kan Nederland nog wel zonder Microsoft?

Techgigant Microsoft moet naar Donald Trumps pijpen dansen. De Nederlandse afhankelijkheid van Microsoft-systemen wordt in toenemende mate riskant, zoals blijkt bij het Internationaal Strafhof.

Com estas ameaças, há alguém que ainda possa confiar nas tecnológicas dos EUA? Hoje funciona, amanhã, se não lhes entregam os recursos naturais, ou uma empresa, ou uma pessoa, o que for, desligam tudo.
Independência tecnológica da UE face aos EUA, já!
