We are watching an 80-year-old man get bludgeoned with a hammer (inc. his blood pooling on the floor) because our "politics" are so toxic that a judge (siding with news organizations) determined it was necessary to stop disinformation -- a lot of it spread on this platform.

Uncontrolled use of #spyware like #Pegasus threatens #humanrights, incl. #privacy, #FreedomOfExpression and public participation.
#CouncilofEurope states should strengthen oversight over their surveillance operations and step up regulation.

It's confirmed: Rep. Ken Buck, one of the most fervent tech critics in the House, will not be the chair of the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee. It will be Rep. Thomas Massie, who takes a libertarian view on corporate oversight.
This is a win for the big tech companies.

Saying ‘Never Forget’ is not enough. Active remembrance, education, activism against hatred, antisemitism and facism. The younger generation even doubts the horrors of the Holocaust, as a result of lies and disinformation. Today I remember and commit #HolocaustMemorialDay

None of us have a right to a social media platform. It's up to these private companies to host us or not. They allegedly have standards & guidelines. Trump broke all of them and promotes lies, hate and conspiracies that creates violence. Musk and Meta CHOOSE to platform him.

That people get laid off is one thing, the way in which is another. Is there any other country where people find out from their badges not working or their inboxes inaccessible that apparently they were fired (from companies with billions of dollars in profit)?

It is so sad to see each time someone in the US has to set up a fundraiser to raise enough money for medical expenses. The US is like a developing country for some of the most basic services 😢

PR agencies are scraping public academic email addresses and literally share the dumbest stuff, plus proposals to interview some experts they push. Is the model still based on x $ per x emails sent? 😩
