@ilumium A reasonable #BuyEuropean mandate makes absolute sense. The FCC-example (for it‘s BuyAmerican counterpart) is NOT reasonable, it‘s what you get when you marry incompetence with ideology and corruption and label it as Divine Will.

Just keep rightwing tech-illiterates out of the equation, and things could truly thrive.

"About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map. The Pacific Ocean's location was a mystery to 29 percent; Japan, to 58 percent; France, to 65 percent; and the United Kingdom, to 69 percent."

@pluralistic thus I coined the term "#TechLiteracy" (or lack thereof as "#TechIlliteracy").

• As this is a more fitting term to differenciate between "us" #TechLiterates (who know how to setup some lightweight #Linux distro and make it work (not just for us bot others) and those who believe the #Enshittification, #bloat and crap is "a fact of life" (aka. "#TechIlliterates")…
  • Just like #literacy enables people to learn, interact and communicate, the same applies to using #technology and #media (see "#MediaLiteracy")…

Thus I see it as both moral and social duty to spread "Tech-Literacy" among society because decades of #illiteracy in #tech are now paying dividends and #Cyberfascists actively work on sabotaging and destroying #HumanRights and #CivilRights under #FalsePretenses lile "#YouthProtection" (see "#AgeVerification")…

@vkc also #teach others more #TechLiteracy.

• Even if it's just fundamentals like a #CryptoParty!

We need to eradicate #TechIlliteracy (& #MediaIlliteracy!) the same way #Illiteracy in henersl gets fought against!
