Twitter needs to come clean about exactly what happened, when, and to how many people. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/twitter-uninentionally-uses-your-2fa-number-targeted-advertising

@ilpianista Plz don't use #github. #Microsoft is not a good company to empower. In addition to these issues:
https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/795
MS gave $100k to the Cloakroom to hide meetings between conservative US republican politicians & corporations.
If I find a bug on a github-hosted project, I do not report it b/c of all the red tape in loggin in.

@jalcine Great intentions but absolutely despicable that they jailed that project in #Microsoft #Github, thus feeding an enemy of their own mission and subjecting users to MS surveillance and control. Those boycotting ICE-feeding corps are fundamentally blocked from contributing to that project.

@Framasoft Here's the shit alternatives--
#Authorstream,#MediaFire,#Wattpad: trapped in the Great Wall of #CloudFlare
#calameo: registration blocked by Google reCAPTCHA
#Dropbox: Condaleeza Rice is on the board
#4shared: spam hell & broken anyway
#ISSUU: uses Amazon AWS; requires registration with non-disposable email acct
#Scribd: paywall with 30 day trial
#Slideshare: svc denied to non-MS #LinkedIn users
#Smashwords: verification email never comes if using a disposable email address
Everytime you visit the #yelp website, you give them power.
Yelp is corrupt. When business stop paying Yelp, Yelp deletes positive feedback. Yelp is also a #privacy abuser. Yelp forces users to compromise their IP address by blocking #Tor. Yelp also refuses business responses unless they include a photo of the business owner.
Stop giving Yelp power.
workaround: follow using #bitlbee instead of relying on the dodgy webpage.
An account I cannot follow from social.privacytools.io:

The "proceed to follow" button takes no action when clicked. playvicious.social is not accepting registrations either, so following locally is not an option either. WTF.

someone made an open list of companies that supported + are using ICE https://t.co/MJzncqMqZN?amp=1
Drive this truck in front of the Google Streetview car plz.
Note that the Eyebeam Center for the Future of Journalism who funded that study unwittingly has their own site in CloudFlare's #walledgarden of #privacy and #netneutrality abuse. WTF ppl.
Everyone who considers themselves aware of #Amazon's societal detriment should repeat this challenge:
https://gizmodo.com/i-tried-to-block-amazon-from-my-life-it-was-impossible-1830565336
Would be cool if we could game it - the person who empowers Amazon the least for a year wins a bag of reddit gold.. (oh shit, can't be that).. wins an anonymous #Signal account (oh shit, no).. okay, we give them a dirt hut in the middle of the Amazon forest with no internet service.

Case in Denmark raises questions about reliability of mobile phone data:

Visa offered $10k to merchants who agree to stop accepting cash. https://hooktube.com/GbECT1J9bXg?t=620 #boycott visa #waroncash
Anheuser-Busch has this immigration friendly ad, and yet they are an #ALEC member (thus support xenophobic policy) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/02/02/budweiser-may-have-put-itself-in-the-crosshairs-of-the-next-trump-tweet/?noredirect=on
Hushmail.com has burned the bridge between their own users and non-#Hushmail users. hushtools.com is now blocked by a login screen, so key management is out of our hands. The only advantage HM had over @protonmail is now gone.
#duckduckgo is using merchmadeeasy.com (a CloudFlare site) to sell #DDG t-shirts. Unwitting privacy advocates share their name, address & cc# with CloudFlare Inc. in a foolish attempt to financially support a profit-driven corporation that only pretends to promote privacy.
steemit.com is now CloudFlared.. when the hell did that happen? Bastards.
Where did these Tor and Amnesty accounts move to?
