Bei @digitalcourage gründet sich gerade eine neue Arbeitsgruppe für Eltern, die nach (juristischen) Wegen suchen, um gegen datensammelnde Software an Schulen oder die Entscheidungen von Schulträgern/Ministerien vorzugehen. Vor allem Eltern, die schon an Anwält.innen herangetreten sind, sind herzlich eingeladen, ihre Erfahrungen zu teilen.

We ALL should be disobeying cops and risking arrest. That's the only option remaining to inspire real change.

The Fediverse is a network of thousands of independent social media servers of many different kinds.
The most popular kind is Mastodon, but it wasn't the first and isn't the only one. Some of the accounts you interact with are on other server types, e.g. @Iancylkowski is on Pixelfed and @theatticdwellers is on PeerTube. There are many Fediverse server types:

Whichever type you're signed up on, they connect together to form a social network called the Fediverse.
The company that
- Ran a secret, illegal, manipulative psychological experiment on hundreds of thousands of users
- Has documented proof of working to put competitors out of business
- Literally shopped our data around to other companies, including direct messages
- Conspired to manipulate a presidential election
- Has been proven to support or at least turn a blind eye to genocide
But ooh hey shiny new app let’s sign up
I don’t understand people. I just fucking don’t.
The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."
EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy. It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.
