EFF makes an important point: many online harms stem from the surveillance business model itself. More tracking is not the fix. A better approach is privacy first, less data collection, no behavioural ads, real consent, and strong user rights.

How many online harms get worse because surveillance is the business model?

To Address Online Harms, We Must Consider Privacy First

In this report, we outline how many of the internet's ills have one thing in common: they're based on the business model of widespread corporate surveillance online. Dismantling this system would not only be a huge step forward to our digital privacy, it would raise the floor for serious discussions about the internet's future.

EFF is Leaving X

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

Recently, a very well meaning acquaintance forwarded a job listing my way. I appreciate it and on paper it might be a decent fit.

Imagine my disappontment when I realized that the opening is at #Flock

Quoth @EFFLive:

"We stay [on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook] because the people on those platforms deserve access to information, too"

But the people on X are just pond scum?

If not, why do they not deserve access to information, too, #EFF?

Having the urge on commenting more about current #EFF situation.

But I think I will not discussing it anymore, all controversies either in pro side or bad side.

I think it will solve itself naturally.

Still, even if you disappointed with their recent move, there are still legitimate* movements you can support.

Skewing the entire org just because of one bad moves, doesn't illegitimate what other movements that are still ongoing.

#digitalrights is still something to work for, and there are many campaigns or orgs you can support!

*depends on your view

A startling revelation: if folk who are supposed to be fighting for your rights abandon the battlefield in fear & despair, then there will no longer be a fight. Who would have guessed? Supposed…
