#Microsoft urges users to stop using phone-based multi-factor authentication

Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms block accounts without providing any reasons on a regular basis. Sometimes the accounts are gone entirely, sometimes they get shadow bans (restricted visibility) or geoblocks.

I've collected a list of blocks of (mostly eco or leftwing activist) accounts and will post them in this thread. The sources will be in German or English, feel free to ask for translation.

I'm glad for any additions! [1/12]

When a corporation as hostile to user freedom as Apple starts producing the silicon that their software runs on, we should all be concerned. Expect them to use it as leverage for even further control on what users can and can't do with their own computers. #appleevent
