Analysis - Artificial intelligence-enabled cameras on billboards, in bus windshields, on petrol station forecourts and in the checkout at the supermarket - all these are here, or about to be.
I’ve found it impossible to even get my family off Whats App, let alone facebook. When I first opened my facebook account the only people I could add were my online American friends because no one here seemed to have heard of it. So I guess I was part of the problem. Am trying to spread awareness of the Fediverse so hopefully that will balance out my karma!
I think you’re right, so many of us do aspire to get away from social media surveillance and we will eventually have an ecosystem. Thank you for your part in it!😀

I was mostly the same with Facebook. Everyone was on… I think Bebo. And I had some friends who had moved overseas invite me to Facebook. This was when it was students only, though I’m pretty sure it was only a matter of months after I joined before it was public for anyone to join.

My part in it is on one hand running an instance, and on the other hand never mentioning it to anyone IRL 😆
Not sure if I’ve previously mentioned it but I’m reading Mindf*ck at the moment (the book on social media and election manipulation, not the murder romance series). It’s a book by the whistleblower of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. And it’s pretty messed up.
That’s huge for them on the tax front!
I really love how our IRD now gets bank data.
