So accused of being a monopoly, big tech simply acquires more and makes the monopoly bigger and reducing user freedom and choices further.

As the #TikTok situation serves to show, #Microsoft is little but a criminal cult that relies on other criminals to do Microsoft's biddings http://techrights.org/2020/08/08/crime-the-new-normal/

Don't like CATS or all those cat photos that some of us keep plastering all over the #Fediverse?
Fear not, as Mastodon has built in FILTERS -- and all it takes is to configure one or more to get rid of pesky posts.
As a local moderator, I feel compelled to explain and share this with you - so you can hide all these pesky photos which I am particularly fond of, as are many, but maybe not everyone.
So, what to Do?
1. Click on the Gear icon, to visit the "Preferences" area of Mastodon.
2. Navigate down to the "Filters" menu item (see it on screenshot, on the left side).
3. And here you can configure *ANY filters you like*, based on a piece of Text to search for in fediverse posts.
To hide all the Cat maniac photos, I would suggest using something similar to the hash tags I normally use: #cats #mastocats #catsofMastodon #meow #xp
Enter that, or any other expression to search for in the proper line, see screenshot #1.
4. Hit the Save button and the filter will be saved and in effect from now on. See screenshot #2.
You have the options of "Delete" or "Edit" the filter later, if you change your mind, or if the poster changes their offending post routine.
** GREAT way to get rid of mindless Twitter reposts which some people hate -- I recommended that at another instance that had some Really BAD cases like that, and got many thanks from relieved users. 😜
Any questions, please ask.
Love Cats? Post some, boost some, thank you! 😺

@nextcloud The EU do not need to ban then, they need to enforce the law with a rod of iron, as in break the law you WILL be prosecuted fully.
Companies like Facebook and Google have EU offices, so we arrest the executives if need be within our own jurisdiction and hit them will full weight of the GDPR
If they want to operate in the EU they have to comply or get out.
@ScienceDaily@newsbots.eu Interesting.
I think the Oil industry in general, (at least for cars) could be coming to an end. However oil based products are used in so many other areas, so job losses in the Oil industry could be mitigated by those in new material manufacturing and R&D in to sustainable and more environmentally friendly materials.
