@datenschutzratgeber @PaulaToThePeople your double-negative threw me off at 1st. There are ways to degoogle an Android phone without replacing the OS. I've written a script that connects over ADB to disable the Google garbage.

@privacyint @lps Since you have Twtr and FB links on your website, I highly recommend reading this article: https://stallman.org/facebook-presence.html Stallman gives good advice about how to use FB in a less harmful way than you are, and those principles apply to #twitter as well.

@lps @privacyint I appreciate the link. I have to say that with privacy being your core mission & considering #Twitter forcing users to disclose a mobile ph# for access, you should treat your fedi acct as official & ensure that acct is a /superset/ of the twtr acct.

@toxision @IzzyOnDroid "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist....Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak for me."

@wend @PaulaToThePeople That doesn't work. #Google is smart enough join the accounts.

@cryptoxic i would like to know which banks Trump is trying to corrupt, so we can monitor that situation closely. I boycott banks that finance fossil fuels and private prisons.

It's the *government* (not #Twitter) who violates the 1st amendment by enabling TWTR to restrict msgs to gov. reps.

@IzzyOnDroid BTW, anyone who wants to voice the problem with #LinuxMint locking up their docs in #CloudFlare or #Mint devs use of #Github, comments can go here: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsystem/issues/124

@imattau @itsfoss I miss everything from #itsfoss because it's a #CloudFlare site. And btw, #LinuxMint has jailed most of their essential docs in CF.

@sadmin @PaulaToThePeople @dsfgs does APKGrabber get APKs from PlayStore without a Google account, and does it work over Orbot? The url you mention is a 404 for me

@PaulaToThePeople I had a few fake accts and noticed google linked them together. It was something like google sending an email that greeted me by the fake name of another acct, so it's clear that Google is making an effort to link different burner accts together. So I no longer use any google acct, and if I touch a google asset w/out acct I still use Tor & try to counter fingerprinting

@PaulaToThePeople #Google tracks everything. Even without an acct, Google sees your IP address in all activity that touches a Google asset. So the fake accounts get associated together and also associated with logged out activity. If you start using Google Play app then switch to #Yalp, Google already has your IMEI# from the 1st use, and that number is part of the dataset.

@PaulaToThePeople #cloudFirewall has a #bug. Run this: "curl --ssl --socks4a 127.0.0.1:9050 -L --head https://nomoregoogle.com/ | grep cf.ray" Their site is also configured to block Tor, so you'll get 403 forbidden if you run 'torsocks lynx "https://nomoregoogle.com/"'. The IP address is also in the known ranges of CF assets.

@h_tejas @prasoon point 7 contradicts 6, and point 7 is the sensible one. The state should not be using a private walled garden that it does not control. When twtr banned me, I could theoretically sue the /gov/ (not twtr) for violating 1st amend. b/c the politicians us it for public business. My case would be as weak as the extent of control the gov has over twtr.

@prasoon @h_tejas 6. Having politicians on #Twitter acting in the capacity of their public office is inherently an offense on free speech, as the government is then the agent of censorship. They outsource to twtr who then blocks speech from the public. So of course getting a politician off twtr is cause for celebration

@prasoon @h_tejas 4. twtr didn't ban /all/ hate, but it banned /some/ hate by blocking Trump. 5. The ban is a win for free speech. TWTR banned me & others, who could not microblog to our representitive. The ban pushes Trump onto another platform which could potentially be publicly accessible (unlike the private walled garden of twtr)

@prasoon @h_tejas 1 is pointless. Of course any communication mechanism can carry propaganda. 2. Social media can be a public or private utility depending on how it's deployed. 3. true
