“You could read anyone’s email in the world, anybody you’ve got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you’re tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It’s a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA’s information. … You can tag individuals … Let’s say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a forum somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what’s called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity.”
- Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. 3 days ago:
The Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to combine access to the sensitive and personal information of Americans into a single searchable system with the help of shady companies should terrify us – and should inspire us to fight back.
We should indeed fight back against the governments and corporations that for decades have been doing this shit.

You are not expected to sit and let it happen, that’s what the handful wants you to do.

Some time ago i passed near a famous e-commerce warehouse and the place was surrounded by a 4 meter tall fence and a moat.

If you care about the environment and are upset about corporations and their datacenters your best voting option is neither the red or blue party.
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 3 weeks ago:
You should complain whenever million gallons of water are wasted by corporations seeking profits or by governments for their shady operations. Not just when it’s about AI.

both because they’re not responsible for this shit show
Nobody is forcing them to use mastercard and visa services

visa and mastercard should be free to do what they want with their services. Pick another payment method.
- Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution 4 weeks ago:
Wi-Fi mesh might be possible with neighbors, but mitm is extremely likely.
While not secure it could still provide a free and censorship-less alternative to the internet
- Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution 4 weeks ago:
Frankly, the answer should be for every site to just cut the UK off entirely.
Tech corporations own most popular and visited websites/services, they are not going to do it. That said you have countries with major websites blocked like russia or china, while it upset many people censored internet is also a strong tool to brainwash people so don’t assume a blockage would lead to a positive outcome.

The main thing to do is remain calm, make it a key voter issue, and watch the bastards fold right before the next election.
What’s your plan to make it a key voter issue? Lamenting about it on censored internet?
We need bulletproof alternatives and solutions.
- Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution 4 weeks ago:
You are not overreacting, an alternative to internet is needed and it’s not that hard to create, there are many projects already of networks working over radio and wifi, we should probably just stick to one of these and work to expand it
- Comment on Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima 4 weeks ago:
Do you actually believe the government care about people not watching porn? The whole point is mass surveillance and to extend ID verification to the internet.
- Comment on Mastercard, Visa Under Fire As Petition To 'Not Police' Legal Content Blows Up 4 weeks ago:
How do they suck? They have their pro and cons, i would still take them as an alternative to a for profit private corporation.
- Comment on Mastercard, Visa Under Fire As Petition To 'Not Police' Legal Content Blows Up 4 weeks ago:
You are commenting in a thread about mastercard and visa policing payments and still in denial about someone coming up with a decentralized alternative?
- Comment on Mastercard, Visa Under Fire As Petition To 'Not Police' Legal Content Blows Up 4 weeks ago:
Cryptocurrencies were made to avoid shit like this. Good luck gently ask mastercard and visa to change their policies.

This is an AD, downvote and don’t post this shit thanks.

Lies and manipulation do not lead to good social interactions.
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 1 month ago:
successful financially and socially
Going around with a machete makes you more successful predator. Being successful financially doesn’t mean shit and neither does having followers on social media.

Lying and manipulating people won’t get you anywhere further in this world. Having more money than someone or a better position in a company doesn’t actually mean shit.

- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 1 month ago:
Can we stop with the narrative that corporations and celebrities are doing good? This guy is 110 Million people away from doing something for privacy and linux, once he makes 110 million and one person switch to linux or using a youtube alternative he will have done some work in the positive.
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 1 month ago:
How are you going to do that advertising using one of their products? He has 100M followers and he’s a multi millionare, he should close his youtube account and move in another platform
- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 2 months ago:
According to your history you are posting memes and shitposts yourself.
- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 2 months ago:
It’s good that people are exposing manipulation and the corporations behind it but it’s quite useless to do it on a heavily censored and already manipulated platform like reddit. I would also like to remember people that a bunch of people paid to work 8h a day could rig lemmy in a day, if you don’t stop upvoting memes and stupid subs evil corporations like palantir are going to feast on lemmy.
