📣 PLZ READ AND BOOST!

I've been working on #digitalrights and #techpolicy issues since right after the #SOPA blackout.

We spend most of our time trying to STOP bad legislation (think: #EarnItAct, #SESTA FOSTA, #KOSA etc)

It's *so rare* we get a chance to pass ACTUALLY GOOD legislation.

We have one of those once in a lifetime chances right now: the #BigTech #antitrust bills #AICOA and #OAMA

There is a real chance these bills make it into the #omnibus. Do the thing https://www.AntitrustVoteNow.com

He's going to release his own trading cards, isn't he.

@JxckS So you're telling us that it's like complaining that everybody's looking at you, but you're the only one with no pants and a clown face?

Sorry to link to the #birdsite but I did a long thread there about how #KOSA (the deeply misguided #KidsOnlineSafetyAct) is a major threat to online access to #abortion information, fundraising and organizing.

Congressional leaders are deciding like RIGHT NOW what bills go into the #omnibus package. Anyone who can please reach out to oppose #KOSA and support actually good bills like #OAMA, #AICOA, and #ADPPA.

So far, Elon Musk's Twitter changes have been a bowl of chaos with a side order of human rights concerns.

Twitter right now is on fire.

This jackass is the best thing to happen to the fediverse, imagine spending 44 billion dollars on an ad campaign for your competitors 😂

Great to see that terrible XKCD cartoon making new friends.

idk, like, maybe this doesn't have to be the moment to mock people for staying on twitter?

The truly sad thing is that this all means Mark Zuckerberg is no longer the worst person running a social media company, and he’ll never know it, because he’s too busy wandering around his legless cartoon world alone, looking for a friend to have a meeting with in a virtual conference room that looks like it’s from Theme Hospital

A little #ElonMusk meme I created for #Twitter. I’m getting a lot of use out of it lately. 🤣

LinkedIn is a doxxing site. They have a huge database where you can look up the real-time location of millions of people during work hours!

Watching Musk’s Birdsite ban journalists and the official Mastodon account for talking about the @elonjet account and then waging war on Mastodon by treating any links to major Mastodon servers as malware, and all of the above causing yet another major migration to here, has been an interesting morning read.

Free speech anyone?

Reddit has given a huge boost to the misinformation operation targeting GrapheneOS on their platform with their new blocking feature:

https://reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/yx0s1z/user_blocking_is_broken_and_ripe_for_abuse_by/

The sockpuppet accounts used to attack GrapheneOS now start out blocking our account and others.

I just left that massive Space because neither side of the debate bothered to actually separate the issues involved here. One is plane tracking which is actually legal and necessary for security and safety reasons and the other is tracking individuals.

There’s just no fucking way members of the public can track one or more specific persons using publicly available tools. I mean, Apple’s Find My and other personal tracking apps require consent or approval from the tracked person or device. What Jason was insinuating or hypothesizing is just simply not possible. Yeah, you can arguably track someone using AirTags but your iPhone will tell you if one is nearby.

And then, jumping through god knows how many hoops linking the non existent personal tracking to banning reporters writing about plane tracking is some level of remarkable acrobatic skills probably unseen until now. And then refusing to engage in questions on those baseless suspensions.

Unfuckingbelievable. And now apparently the motherfucker himself joined in. I’m done listening.

session is so anonymous that i don't even know who i am
