I am a woman who enjoys tech, gaming and more! I am a privacy advocate.

Really #bambulab my money is not enough, you have to scrape my data as well?

That is not "reviewing the security of my connection", that's data theft and security theatre.

Do web scraping robots buy 3D printers from you? No.

I hope you forever burn yourself on your nozzle, data thieves.

Even more incentive to talk to nobody.

I wear #reflectacles to stop facial recognition whilst out and about.. seems voice recognition might become the next privacy invasion.

Do I need to wear a mask with a voice altering device in it now??

This is daunting.
This is where the whole world is going.

We talk about #Consent a lot because it's important.

Consent to sleep with someone, the ability to say no to unreasonable requests from people at work, at home, whatever.

Why can't we say no to that evil company collecting our #PII our #data

I don't want to use #cloudflare or #recaptcha and not going online is not an option anymore.

I don't want to send my data to #databrokers

Where is my consent, my ability to say no?

If the net is a utility then data theft is an illegal wiretap.

We don't let 16 year olds drink, smoke or drive on their own. The government considers them barely old enough to use social media.

Now people want to turn them into a voting bloc to be bought and manipulated by corporations.

Anyone pushing for this either doesn't remember what they were like when they were 16 or is pandering for votes.

I say we should INCREASE the voting age to 25. People are far more mature at that age and not prone to back brain thinking.

Independent MP to push a lowering of Australia's voting age after UK decision

Independent MP for Kooyong Monique Ryan vows to introduce a bill to parliament aimed at lowering the minimum voting age, after the UK decided to reduce its voting age from 18 to 16.

We are headed towards a #population crisis because #capitalism and the #billionaires demand that we buy high markup shit.

The #economy it built on sales of luxuries and the world runs on the breadcrumbs that fall from the 1%'s table.

We need to re-gear the economy, not breed more to support infinite growth on a finite planet to deliver more wealth to the insanely wealthy.

You can have the #environment and the planet, or you can have billionaires.
Both can't exist. Take your pick.

We were right.

Hey #ICE

If you didn't sign up for what you are doing now and feel bad, quit.

What you are doing now is going to keep you up at night for many years, it's the stuff of nightmares, yours and your victims'.

You can't do much from the inside other than fail to do your job. Quitting is a better option and tell those that didn't sign up to be nazis to quit too.

Imagine telling your grandchildren what you did, if that makes you feel bad, good, it's not too late for you. QUIT.

Quoting Sergey Brin: "The use of the term genocide in the context of Gaza is very offensive to Jews, I would not rely on an anti-Semitic organization like the UN."

One might argue that companies profiting from genocide may react defensively... #ProjectNimbus is a $1.2 billion cloud and #AI contract between #Google, #Amazon, and #Israel that has been criticized internationally for enabling Israel's war on #Gaza, including surveillance and AI-driven tactics that contribute to the ongoing #genocide.

Google is to Israel what #IBM was to #Germany in the 1930s—tech support. See https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/114715091687865234

Reminder: IBM and the Holocaust #IBM’s punch card technology facilitated German atrocities during the #Holocaust, enabling precise targeting, logistical coordination, and detailed record-keeping of victims. Historian Edwin Black asserts, "without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards," the scale of the genocide would have been impossible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust @palestine@a.gup.pe @israel@a.gup.pe #GazaGenocide #Israel #Microsoft #Google #IsraelWarCrimes #Germany
