* La app de TaxisLibres usa google maps, entonces sin google intenta usar "petal maps" y falla estrepitosamente.

* facilpass (peajes electrónicos), por #survaillanceCapitalism exige la app de carroya para cambiar los pagos automáticos, y esa requiere google

* WhatsApp hace los backups en google drive, entonces sin ellos no funciona el historial.

Resulta que el teléfono se me cayó y se le rompió la pantalla. Fui a repararlo, pero no quedó bien. No me van a creer, pero le falla la letra "a".

Entonces escarbé en un cajón y saqué un teléfono viejo que @Afrancoc había dejado de usar cuando entró a trabajar con el Estado.

Es un huawei Nova 10, con Android, pero sin servicios de Google. Aquí una lista de cosas que los requieren sin decirlo #survaillanceCapitalism

"User data will still be collected by numerous platforms—possibly even TikTok after a forced sale—and it will still be sold to data brokers who can then sell it elsewhere, just as they do now."

Congress Should Give Up on Unconstitutional TikTok Bans

Congress’ unfounded plan to ban TikTok under the guise of protecting our data is back, this time in the form of a new bill—the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,” H.R. 7521 — which has gained a dangerous amount of momentum in Congress. This bipartisan...

"They say it’s friendship. We say it’s unwaged work. With every like, chat, tag or poke our subjectivity turns them a profit. They call it sharing. We call it stealing. We’ve been bound by their terms of service far too long—it’s time for our terms."

Wages For Facebook

The court room was split into two parts. On the left as seen from the judges bench there was a futuristic hall filled with cyborgs, on the right there was a Gothic hall filled with people in antiquated cloths all in black and white.

The defendant from the right side said in their initial statement: "In my time we haven't invented a time-machine yet, so I could not have possibly plagiarized a composition from the future."

Then the plaintiff from the left said: "This peace of music is clearly too modern for that time, the defendant could have never come up with it on their own."

Judge AI spoke up: "I went back in time to the big bang and composed every possible combination of sounds, so all music is mine! Plaintiff, I already know everything about you and all your money is stored on my systems, so I could take everything from you at any time. You have nothing left to give me. But as for you, defendant. I pronounce you guilty. As a punishment I will give you this smartphone with an endless battery life, that you will have to carry around with you all the time, so I can collect every bit of data about you."

Wait, what? You wrote a manual for dissidents and activists and out it ... on Google docs? Seriously?

Google is one if the top 5 players in #SurvaillanceCapitalism.

So basically you are extraditing dissidents and activists to their opponents.

On Lasswell's Model of Communication & the NSO Group

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasswell%27s_model_of_communication

So, the NSO group have issued a bald denial and announced they won't be answering further questions:
https://www.nsogroup.com/Newses/enough-is-enough/ (That's a JS-only link, text itself is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27910919)

Harold Lasswell has an interesting model of communications:

  • Who?
  • Says What?
  • In Which Channel?
  • To Whom?
  • With What Effect?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasswell%27s_model_of_communication

Lasswell, Harold (1948). Bryson, L. (ed.). The Structure and Function of Communication in Society. The Communication of Ideas. New York: Institute for Religious and Social Studies. p. 117.

All communication is performative art. The performances and audiences differ. Often for the same work.

Communications such as these have two principle audiences:

  • The general public
  • The interests for which the speaker is operating.

The message to the press and public is pretty clearly "fuck you".

The message to organisations which may have used such services, and who may or may not have a history of acting with lethal force to protect their interests, is "we deny everything, we are the shield between you and the world, and we will not be talking further, and we can say this as bluntly as possible because we have major institutional, interest, and/or state backing."

That's not an uncommon message. It's generally not phrased quite so bluntly. That it is here may in fact be part of the signaling.

(All clearly conjecture, though it coheres.)

Lasswell's model of communication - Wikipedia

Between the NSO Pegasus story, the story about Russia/China trying to take over ITU and have it take over internet naming control from ICANN, and the purchasing of detailed "anonymous" data by private companies that was de-anonymized to out priests it seems the whole surveillance capitalism thing combined with efforts of bad faith state actors is reaching epidemic proportions. While many of these things are supposedly for our own good their nefarious purposes have been apparent from the beginning and are manifesting ever more. Besides unplugging, which is nearly impossible now, what can we do to protect ourselves and the internet? #SurvaillanceCapitalism #dystopia
