#twitter had me #shadowbanned for 24 hours this week. I have >NO IDEA< why. I did not deserve it. They did not tell me why. We need to destroy #socialControlMedia just like we need to obliterate evil companies that spy and destroy human rights, like #uber and #facebook
@sim Personal responsibility? We can't expect that of people. Instead, let's encourage people to upload their nude pics to #Facebook and trust FB to intercept it when others upload the same image.
Karina Gould @karinagould is the Minister of Democratic Institutions for !Canada. No credibility for: Using #Facebook for an announcement on security. Using ow.ly for link !surveillance. Using the word "cyber". !CndPoli !ElectoralReform. Hat tip to @PaperVote on #Twitter
'So many fucking Jobbik adverts on my timeline! :-( Zuckerburg takes money from Nazis!'
Jobbik is the fascist party of #Hungary and I am a recipient of their adverts no matter how much I report to Facebook for their paid adverts for racism, antisemitism and threats of violence.
@strypey I dunno. I set up a #Facebook account a couple of years ago to check out #Drupal integration and just thought "Is this it? Is this what all the fuss is about?" The vanity value of feeling important enough to be surveilled appears the killer feature.
@strypey I see it more as encouraging #IWW members to join #Facebook et al., and to expose non-members as having activist sympathies. I can't imagine the NSA wouldn't be glad of the assistance.
#Twitter and #Facebook are about the least "open, transparent" organizations I can think of (well, also Google, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Microsoft, and all other members of the #Free-As-In-Gratis #But-We-Own-Your-Data spectrum). Openness and Transparency are orthogonal to Federation, although the Closed, Proprietary corporations are also the ones least likely to federate. You raise an interesting point about !Fediverse instances placing commercial advertising on their instances, and incurring all the surveillance and tracking issues of commercial advertising agencies. I would not want my instance to participate in their federation -- so, we need a method to block other instances, whether for NSFW reasons, commercialization and surveillance concerns, or any other reason. Hey, @MMN: Another !GNUsocial #FeatureRequest!
