Some good tips here on how to hit the #techbro #broligarchy where it hurts them: in the wallet (by starving them of their raw material - your data)

We also inform about this on our nonprofit site: rebeltechalliance.org/

#privacy #surveillancecapitalism

This year is the countdown to coming off #bigtech. Follow and promote #Deadline2025 and #BigTechWalkout2025

Remember the prison scenes in #Andor ?

We are building #bigtech "s superweapon by providing our data, our attention, and our content for free. AGI's owners will enslave us.

Building your enemy's weapon (that will kill you) is pretty stupid. Are you going to wait to see if I'm right, or are you going to leave their walled garden platforms?

Take your first step: e.g. use 1password instead of saving your passwords in Google Chrome.

One last push:
The @peertube app campaign is just €7000 away from it's €55,000 target, and 2 days to go. Surely there are #fedizens who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and #Antarctic research over the coming weeks...

Go!

Ruth_Mottram - Apropos @peertube the french developer collective @Framasoft are currently trying to raise the (for #bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?

Det er ikke kun teknisk bøvlet at gøre sig mere uafhængig af 🇺🇸 #BigTech

Det kræver også, at de ledende politikere sluger store kameler, og at alle vi andre må indstille os på, at vi skal finde os i ganske meget

Leder af det Nationale Center for Kunstig Intelligens i Samfundet (CAISA) og medlem af regeringens ekspertgruppe om #BigTech er selv gået foran og har revideret sit verdensbillede i en rejseplan, der skal føre 🇪🇺 i retning af mindre sårbarhed

Rebecca Adler-Nissen forstår godt politikeres frygt for spild og skandaler. USA og Kina har taget teten, fordi de havde modet.

Auch #Finanzwende Recherche war bei der re:publica vertreten. Digitalisierungsexpertin #CarolinaMelches sprach zusammen mit #UlrichMüller, Mitbegründer von #LobbyControl und #RebalanceNow, über „Monopole, Finanzen und KI: Die #Macht der #TechKonzerne und wie wir sie bremsen können". Was genau die EU unternehmen muss, damit #TechRiesen nicht zu #FinanzRiesen werden und wie vermachtet der KI-Sektor schon heute ist, erfahren Sie hier.
