Monthly Mosh Pit - Mar 26
Big Tech news is horrifying, but don't be angry about it every day. Instead focus your rage in the mosh pit once a month 🤘🏼 with our news roundup, then get back to your life!"If ad-supported media was a restaurant, it'd be one where you got thrown up against a wall, relieved of your wallet, fed a handful of gruel, and then got kicked in the ass and sent on your way"
Great quote from Cory Doctorow, depicting how enshittified services operate. The article shows nicely how piracy was fine for #bigtech to do themselves at the start but anyone who does it to them now is breaking the law:

This horrendous data theft by #Perplexity (and sale to #Google and #Meta)
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/perplexitys-incognito-mode-is-a-sham-lawsuit-says/
is why we wrote this article on using #AI with #privacy
https://blog.rebeltechalliance.org/so-you-want-to-use-ai-privately/
AI is unprofitable - so with no design safeguards in place, OF COURSE they're going to sell you out!

Stop the spread of the #Palantir cancer. Sign this petition.
A powerful US spy-tech company run by billionaires is linked to genocide in Gaza, helps ICE separate families, and fuels Trump’s war with Iran. And now it’s quietly expanding across Europe gaining access to our data, our hospitals, and our police systems.It’s time to expose it and stop its expansion.
Get ready for the May Day (May 1st) general strike.
It's being led by a coalition of serious labor groups—May Day Strong, Workers over Billionaires, Power in Numbers.
The training leading up to it is being facilitated by Strike Ready Corps
Backed by larger orgs like Indivisible this year which means we may get millions to participate.
It’s part of a larger strategy.
