I predict that the FB glasses and the VR headset aimed for business will be complete flops. To makeup the revenue shortfall, FB will squeeze more revenue from its existing assets: peoples' data. They say they do not directly sell data, but they can change terms of service anytime. If you still have an account, protect yourself by pouring extra salt in it to be an enigma to the data brokers who will buy it. Random searches, confusing posts, unfriending, random likes.. https://newsbots.eu/@vice/106903130969485866

More reasons to avoid GAFAM in case you needed them https://bigtechsellswar.com/

@drq @aral Government imposes values more overtly in China and always has. It is a very different culture and government. To be clear, I never said it is alright or good. I live in the west and have no control or influence over what is done there. My point is to not let us in the west fall into the trap of being compared to China if we clampdown in any way on GAFAM's similar exploitation of children. I am afraid this is the subtle idea conveyed in some reports.

Google is expected to pay Apple $15B this year to embed its spyware on Iphones. Apple will also be installing its own new spyware on devices. Investors are pleased and Apple stock price hits new all time high. #SureillanceCapitalism

I am a convicted SIDELOADER. I am a repeat offender and probably in a registry of sideloaders. 98% of the software on my phone was SIDELOADED from #GrapheneOS and #Fdroid. My PC devices are similarly all sideloaded with Linux and FOSS. https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/Building_a_Trusted_Ecosystem_for_Millions_of_Apps.pdf

What if I don't want to tell Zuckerberg where I am and what I am eating for dinner?
This is what I say to restaurants who tell me to scan a code or place my order via app. I only pay cash. Refuse and resist #SurveillanceCapitalism

Here is a map that shows surveillance cameras already. https://sunders.uber.space/
I can see that the Germans are working much harder than the Americans at logging these. The only cameras mapped in my town were done by me.

The feature that made Waze more popular than Google maps until Google bought them was the crowdsourced identification of speed traps.
https://www.osm.org has the ability to log face traps (surveillance/facial recognition cameras). I have been mapping them as points of type: surveillance.
Some mobile mapping apps such as #OrganicMaps could show these features to help us know how to safely navigate around town. Edit your neighborhood maps.

@kingofjupiter I signed this even though I never plan to use an Ithing. I did it for your benefit and the kids I know stuck in their ecosystem. I hope you sign on as well. https://freeradical.zone/@thenewoil/106726648829756399

What great FOSS/Federated tools would anyone recommend to organize a physical party? (attendance, planning details, discussions..)
A fringe benefit would be introducing my friends to private alternatives to those usual non-free tools.

Facial recognition technology will be supplemented with smell recognition technology:
