    Not saying that a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc but a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc.

    I mean - don’t use those things. Delete them. Now.

      And ideally don’t commit crimes. But if you do, don’t post about them on any social media, or anywhere for that matter.

        The problem is when your previous posts are suddenly now crimes, and nobody cares about ex post facto any more.

        Agreed. And since Meta and Xitter are avowed fascism hubs, delete them anyway.

        Crimes are for the poor.

      What about committing crimes facilitated by facebook, instagram, tiktok? Those fraudsters (fake ads for high paying jobs, famous people peddling snake oil, etc) rarely get caught.

        All the more reason to delete them.

    Holy shit!

    What the fuck

    It was bad enough when potential dates stalked you online.

    Then it was shitty when bosses started doing it.

    Then infuriating and decimating when potential employers started doing it.

    And people were just … Okay with it for some reason.

    And now the ACTUAL GOVERNMENT is doing this?

    No. Actually no. This is only going to get worse. Literally stop and think about this for one minute, this is actually terrible and we have to put a stop to it.

    There’s far too much stuff trying to control me and I’m fucking sick of it.

        Better slap a “safety” on there to show the administration is thinking about children.

        …thinking about children’s safety. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

        For fascists, hypocrisy is a power move. It communicates to others you’re so powerful you’re effectively unstoppable.

      No joke I got raided by police who must have realised they fd up big time, they spent about 3 weeks questioning me where they repeatedly tried to get me to name a non existent Facebook account despite the fact the Internet was nothing at all to do with their retarded raid.

      Nomatter how often I told them I don’t have a Facebook account the question they asked next is what’s your Facebook account.

    In March 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio launched an AI-fueled “Catch and Revoke” effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups. This program relies on the AI to scrape people’s social media to revoke visa applications of people who have been protesting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. As of early April 2025, at least 600 people have apparently had their visas revoked because of this AI monitoring, a massive incursion into people’s right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to protest.

    The speed with which social media monitoring is growing is staggering. As of March 2025, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) has been working with web-scraping contractor ShadowDragon to pull data from over 200 different sites, social networks, apps, and services across the web to map out a person’s activity, movements, and relationships.

      If they can do this to people with fewer rights than citizens now, they will do it to anyone they can, at any stage, as much as they can get away with it.

        Yeah it was blown way out of proportion but I think it’s still something that exists, even if not implemented. Sesame credit.

      These monsters crave power. They see oppressive regimes all over the world, stepping on people in a variety of ways, and think: “yeah, that’s the stuff.”

    The magats will clap because this is what they want

    source
    • mspencer712@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      (Apologies to parent, this is something I’ve been itching to say, but the parent isn’t the problem I’m discussing.)

      They will clap because it makes them feel good. It makes them feel good because they think we don’t respect them, that we celebrate their losses (in the Laslow’s Hierarchy sense, not the political sense) and that we don’t want to lift them up with us.

      So yeah, we have differences. (Stay with me for a bit.) They think a foul in basketball is something you’re allowed to do a certain number of times and then you have to stop. We think a foul in basketball is something you Should Not Do.

      Is the solution more hate for the people who got duped by Trump’s team? Yeah they got played. Yeah they have cognitive dissonance. Yeah they’re on Facebook too much, fed poison by an algorithm that optimizes for engagement (you know, happy, horny, angry, anything except writing letters or volunteering or registering to vote). That’s no reason to hate them.

      Help them. Love them. Even if there’s no internet points in it for you. (Certainly none for me because I’m usually a crappy communicator.)

      source
      • Fingolfinz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        A big reason to hate them is because they’re racist, hate filled shit bags. You are giving them too much benefit of the doubt. Any experience I’ve had where I try to help them in good faith has always been left with me realizing they were acting in bad faith only and know better, they just have the agenda of furthering white nationalism. So no, I will not give magats any quarter. It has nothing to do with internet points btw. This site doesn’t have karma to create some false hierarchy, who the fuck cares about upvotes and downvotes

        Hey I really appreciate you and up voted your post.

        However as I’ve come to understand it, fouls in basketball are very much used strategically by every team to stop the clock when they’re behind. So unless the rules are changed, I would agree with the maga that some fouls can be done a few times. Because that’s basketball, and not the future of our country.
