I wonder where they got that idea from

thought you were mistaken but it was lemmings.world that defederated

I hope lemmy.world will do so soon too

We care so much about your children!

*Profits by monetizing children data, even though people under 13 aren’t allowed on their platform by their own terms of service.

Basically everything outside fdroid is riddled with trackers and ads so no, thanks

So basically, they are fined nothing (100k is less than a millionth of Meta’s net worth)

If you don’t want to use Signal, use a forked version of it - Session (doesn’t require a phone number, only has a code number as id) or SimpleX Chat (not even a code number, completely private)

No, but Jerboa is also AGPL-licensed, Thunder is under MIT and Liftoff under GPL

I mean, no suprise there, every country calls out every other country on that. It’s only OK for the American goverment agencies to spy on Americans.

Every country has survaillance, US just makes the most noise with laws being passed. It’s the principle that matters - once other countries see that a certain law allows them to monitor people more closely, they’ll want to pass their version of that law. Australia is basically a Police State, UK also has very privacy-invasive laws.

You didn’t say it, yes. But established survaillance can be countered by encrypted messanging apps, so the next logical step is to ban them. In fact, the US has been trying to do so for a long time now and the same excuse is always given - “think of the children”. There’s a video by Louis Rossmann and another one by Mental Outlaw, both going into detail about why this is just that, an excuse. Survaillance isn’t normal and should not be normalised.

not a drug connoisseur.

wants all drugs banned because “drugs > bad”

drugs are much more complex than “doing them is bad” and banning encrypted messanging apps and implementing surveillance does very little in terms of capturing pedos, while people who use them for legitamate reasons are screwed over

“bUt ThiNk oF thE cHildrEn!!1!1” is not an excuse for surveillance

Oh, no! Not being removed from a voluntary unpaid job that saves Reddit millions every year!

What does “Other Data” even cover? Could be literally anything Meta wants
