Contrarian men are all over the place saying “actually you DO need to give up your data to use the internet and posting on websites is actually exactly the same thing as corporations harvesting your data because you agreed to that in order to use their app and your instance admin is exactly the same as a corporation there is no difference so you should stop trying” and it's a wonder they can squeeze all those words out past the boot in their throat tbh

Naomi (fuchsiashock@toot.lgbt)'s status on Wednesday, 05-Jul-2023 03:14:15 JST Naomi Apparently being somewhat concerned by the way corps harvest and sell data makes me a "privacy nut" or something.
Come on, I'm not exactly hiding in a bunker with a tinfoil hat so THEY can't read my brainthoughts, here. I'm just a person who thinks there actually IS an alternative way to handle stuff than having zero privacy ever for the sake of corporate interests.AnthonyJK-Admin repeated this. -

Naomi (fuchsiashock@toot.lgbt)'s status on Wednesday, 05-Jul-2023 03:14:24 JST Naomi My 'extreme' 'nut' position is roughly equivalent to the data protection legislation passed decades ago by most western nations. This is settled practice for decades, that data collection and processing must be proportional and for a specific purpose. I'm not a wingnut here.

Naomi (fuchsiashock@toot.lgbt)'s status on Wednesday, 05-Jul-2023 03:14:28 JST Naomi We really should be asking more “why do you need that info?” “where are you storing it?” “who has access to it?” “how long are you keeping it?” etc.

Naomi (fuchsiashock@toot.lgbt)'s status on Wednesday, 05-Jul-2023 03:14:33 JST Naomi When the answers to those questions are so often: “Because we see it as a marketable resource” “wherever the people we sell it to decide to leave it” “whoever we sell it to and whoever they then sell it to and whoever can break their security” and “forever”, then there's a problem.
