Whatsapp wants to make absolutely sure everyone in the world can be free of censorship on their app and therefore free to put oneself under a 24/24 tight surveillance under their app.

It always ALWAYS comes step by step!

First they will introduce age “non-real-check”, then they will enforce the check: you have accepted the principle, so what’s the big deal if we actually check it?

Framasoft is not so much about providing the service itself, they have limited resources, but to show alternatives exist and are usable. They develop some of the tools (we own them Peertube!).

So they host services, and sometimes end them (with ample warning and instructions to migrate). As they explain: their goal is not to become an “open Google”. It’s to to make de-googling possible and usable by the many.

As service providers, you should look into the CHATONS.

These are mostly based on the Framasoft suite.

That’s nothing. Wait for them to come back disabled from the war and be called welfare-queens for the miserable rest of their life.

That’s probably because we’ve not poured enough money in it yet. 1 or 2 more trillions and it will create growth like you’ve never seen before!

Is that what you’re referring to? https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-facial-recognition-glasses These people have no ethics and no moral code. They know we’ll hate it, so they want to sneak it!

Years of privacy violations going deeper and deeper under pretend of “progress” and “pRoTeCt the cHiLdReN”. I am glad that people started rebelling against Flock, and some removed their Amazon cameras following the Superbowl’s ads, but that’s not even close to how much we should be mad at these mass surveillance actors.

Not sure the lemmy crowd is representative of the general public trends.

Oh I’m perfectly aware this is most likely a chain of pressure and responsibility dodging:

• the top demands more users more active,
• the bottom develops some solutions they demo while refusing any responsability for its impact.
• Some middle pressed to meet demand while having only one solution available at the time eventually decide to deploy it, maybe “temporarily”.

Oh they absolutely know. Zuck’s Meta is on trial right now not only because Instagram creates an addiction for kids, but because it was made delibarately, on purpose. Kids addictron was the goal.

They’ve always known. They just don’t care for the rest of humanity.

Given you propose to chose between 2 federated solutions, I assume you want a good robust federation. So it’s easy: XMPP, period.

Anyone who has experienced self-hosting knows Matrix is several times heavier on memory and CPU than XMPP, and that’s one of the reasons 99% of the Matrix users are on 1 server, while I actually dnn’t even know which XMPP server is the largest.:

He will probably claim to work a gazillion hours a week with an unrivaled efficiency, making him one of the most productive humans on Earth. Because these people are not just sociopaths, they’re also completely delusional about their intelligence and true worth, out of money worth.

You think he would oppose a massive genocide of 99.9% of humanity if he could get an army of robots to sérve him in his new world?

Think again!

Pretty sure they won’t care except if it ends with a multi-billions$ fine. The intent is that by the time, their “smart-glasses” are everywhere and banning them no longer seems reasonable.

So they’ll settle for “privacy settings by default”, meaning they commit to not record anything except if the user expilicitly activate it, and it should be very visible for people around.

They’ll wait a good 6 months before an update introduces back a silent auto-record of some kind, because that company never gave a flying fuck about the law, its users or basic decency.

Let’s just hope pissing off the judge on mïnute 1 may get them uncomfortable about the rest of the trial.

They’re working on an alternative device with a large OEM they’ve not disclosed yet. They’re aiming at releasing it in 2027.

Protectind yourself from beind spied on and then potentially blackmailed is a hostile behavior!

That, the coming war against VPN in other states and countries, … Can’t we cut through all these baby steps and get straight to a 1984’s telscreen mandatory in all rooms?

Oh come on! Think about all the domestic violence’s victims!

No. As long as the base remains opensource (AOSP), they can remove the bad parts. Graphene has made numerous contributions to AOSP, I’m confident they can manage that. And if the user base growths, I hope their fundings will follow.

It would be a good thing for the world if AOSP was forked with big resources behind an open project with an open governance. But that needs lot of resources.

All four sections carry a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years, although § 1001 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than eight years when the offense involves terrorism or one of several federal sex offenses. The same five-year maximum penalty attends the separate crime of conspiracy to commit any of the four substantive offenses.

Even 1 year in jail should be a good enough incentive, if only he could not buy his way out.
