I want the issue of mass surveillance / data collection to be addressed, instead of this bs which is basically working around the edges the problem. Tick-tock shouldn’t be allowed to sell (/provide) user data to anyone but neither should Meta, X, reddit, etc.
No, they’re both bad.
Lol
What is the social security system was run by China?
That’s your great analogy. This is a social media company. Gtfoh
It’s a bad analogy. Mass surveillance (continuous collection of everyone’s data) has very little to do with the number we use to track social security payments.
We’re talking about individuals’ personal data stored by social media companies being accessible to others (governments, in this case). This has nothing to do with social security.
The problem is that the data is accessable, but that’s not being addressed. This is an improper fix to an actual problem, just facts.
Access to the data it’s what matters, ownership is just one method of access.
I literally rearranged the headline wording
CrowdTangle is Meta’s tool for election integrity, they’re shutting it down without a replacement.
The relatively new Nostr protocol is a very interesting decentralized option. It uses relay servers to provide a secure connection between two (or more) clients which maintain the data, nothing is “stored” on the relay.
