The anti-Big-Tech movement isn't a trend, it's a correction. Our societies spent 20 years accepting surveillance capitalism as normal. And now, we're slowly remembering we have choices.

Sure, switching browsers is a small thing. But small rebellions are how everything big begins, or so we like to believe. 🤞

If you think about those around you, have you noticed an increased awareness lately about what's behind the tech they use?

The secret sauce of fascism is it lets the richest, most powerful, and most privileged in society portray themselves, and in many cases perceive themselves, as heroic underdogs "victimized" by tiny marginalized groups asking them not to be narcissistic genocidal sociopaths.

This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department

I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock

Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)

John Oliver uncovers how Elon Musk took over Twitter and began funding accounts who spread disinformation, creating movements that cause serious trouble in the real world based on Twitter falsehoods — even causing the Trump regime to launch security operations based on conspiracy theories invented by random Twitter users.

Palantir & Co.: Die digitalen Abschiebe-Helfer der US-Einwanderungsbehörde ICE » LabourNet Germany

Dossier "Die EFF hat im vergangenen Sommer einen Bundesrichter gebeten, die Bundesregierung daran zu hindern, Medicaid-Daten zur Identifizierung und Abschiebung von Einwanderern zu verwenden. Wir haben auch vor der Gefahr gewarnt, dass die Trump-Regierung alle Informationen der Regierung mit Hilfe von Palantir, einem Unternehmen, das bestenfalls eine zweifelhafte Bilanz in Bezug auf Datenschutz und Menschenrechte vorweisen kann, in einer einzigen durchsuchbaren, KI-gesteuerten Schnittstelle zusammenfasst. Jetzt haben wir den ersten Beweis dafür, dass unsere Befürchtungen Realität geworden sind. „Palantir arbeitet an einem Tool für die Einwanderungs- und Zollbehörde (ICE), das eine Karte mit potenziellen Abschiebungszielen erstellt, ein Dossier zu jeder Person anzeigt und einen „Vertrauenswert” für die aktuelle Adresse der Person angibt”, berichtet 404 Media heute ..." engl.
