  • We shouldn't be forced to use toxic platforms that track and profile us in order to get public information.

    Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube track and profile their users so that they can target advertising towards them.

    Their business models fuel online harms by pushing more and more extreme content to users. Despite this, these platforms are one of the primary ways that government departments share public information.

    Tell your MP to support the EDM calling on the UK Government to ensure that all public sector social media content is published on open, decentralised and federated platforms!

    It kinda depends on if its additional or if its a required thing. The government does have an onus to get the word out but it should not be the official channel.

  • I appreciate the peertube link for this video.

    Yah, my local (all Republicans) county board shares their videos on YouTube only and we all know why that sucks.

    If it is illegal to block people from politicians from their xitter account, why are they able to turn off comments on their youtube accounts?

  • This means directly targeting classical liberalism and the governments collusion with capital. Simply getting them to use mastodon or whatever does mot target the root cause.

    We have 2 mobile operating systems, both under the control of American big tech oligarchs. That is not freedom. It is the illusion of choice. It is technological tyranny. Most government services require these OS's exclusively to use many public apps and services.

    Most governments are allowed to image your devices and back them up to some police state server indefinitely because you cross a border. That is not freedom or democracy. It is technological tyranny. Companies are allowed to sell you a device and brick it or completely change the value proposition without consequence. The ability to exert control over your purchased hardware and software should not even be an option for any government or corporation.

    Woah, I never thought about it that way, but you're right. It's not just about the freedom to stop using that technology, it's also about the freedom to stop being monitored by it, right?
