Even though I know that Zuck knowingly lied to the whole world about when he knew about Cambridge Analytica, https://federate.social will not be preemptively blocking #threads, instead letting members continue to control their own instance blocks. #mastoadmin

A recent TikTok Popup: ‘Call Congress and tell your Rep that ByteDance would never propagandize and manipulate US voters.’A knucklehead move that totally backfired on TikTok. The calls flooded in with voters misrepresenting the bill. It ironically proved to members that their concerns were valid. #GiftLink #uspolhttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/technology/tiktok-ban-congress.html?unlocked_article_code=1.m00.YhM8.p5gRe-XepFRE&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

Why does our society have absolutely zero tolerance for engineering flaws in airplanes and bridges but accepts pretty much everything else as tolerable dysfunction?

Same principle as my case against Cambridge Analytica in 2019: an inadequate SAR and the UK authorities agreed but the SCL companies liquidated. Sam Altman can’t wind-up OpenAI so easily and also Max Schrems gets results. #GDPR #AI #Privacy https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/28/chatgpt-gdpr-complaint-noyb/

Letting CrowdTangle rot on the vine was an exceptionally stupid decision , Mark Zuckerberg. You may have to part with a few of your extra billions if this doesn’t go your way. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_2373

Someone should start a DNA data co-op and buy 23andme as a way to protect the vulnerable genetic corpus up for sale to the highest bidder.

For the first time in my experience, Bluesky went down. Everyone is still on one big ass server and so the benefits of decentralization are yet to be felt.

The Cambridge Analytica scandal taught us that where on earth your data “lives” really matters. That same notion is ultimately what animated the Supreme Court TikTok decision today.

@wjmaggos a telecom ceo’s primary job is making sure that they don’t become “a dumb pipe” because the profit centers are in the ancillary products and bundles not by selling raw bandwidth which is the cost center and ultimately a commodity
