@aral Here’s an interesting example. This is a government agency tasked with defending digital rights in #Belgium:

As you can see, they don’t merely have a link to their FB account. They actually direct the public to go to #Facebook and #MS #LinkedIn to get /public/ information (that is, info intended for the general public). I am blocked from the publications on that page because I do not have FB or LinkedIn.

WTF.

public money → public agency → private #walledgarden.

I see a potential new anti- #AI hobby emerging: trick corporate chatbots to generate misinfo customers can profit from, then hold it accountable.

For me it’s a #boycott along the lines of @HistoPol’s fight for democracy. When I #boycottMicrosoft, you might call it collective punishment but it’s not really punishment. It’s refusing to support & become part of the problem. To feed a harmful force is to be part of the problem.

Boycotts are no longer just a matter of avoiding purchases. Now that data is as good as cash, withholding data is part of it.
