Fighting for privacy rights is fighting against fascism. In case there were any doubts that mass surveillance is a fascist's tool. Privacy isn't some secondary luxury, it's fundamental to democracy and civil liberties. #Privacy #Democracy #Fascism
There will be some negative consequences and some efforts required to leave certain platforms in protest, to stop using AI tools, and to participate in movements opposing injustices. Yes. It does come at a cost. But many forget that the cost of complying obediently, the cost of doing nothing, the cost of passivity will be much worse in the end. It's exhausting, I know. It's inconvenient, I know. It's time-consuming, I know. But doing nothing is so much worse. #BeTheResistance
If everyone was refusing to provide official IDs to verify their identity and age on social platforms, and just let their account rot there unused instead, we would soon see platforms themselves starting to advocate against these invasive laws to recover their users. Just saying. They need you more than you need them. Stop complying with invasive requests. #Privacy #AgeVerification
Chat Control is one of the most important issue for human rights and democracy in the West right now. There is little time left to fight back!🚨 ❓If you don't know what it is: [read this article]( ) 🇪🇺 If you are in the EU: [Contact your MEPs NOW]( ) 🇪🇺 If you already contacted your MEPs: Contact your local media TODAY to ask them to report and inform on the dangers of Chat Control. 🌎 If you are not European: Spread the word! Talk about it on social media. Contact your local media. Contact your representatives to share your concerns about similar proposals and the loss of privacy rights. This would affect you too! This is an urgent matter. We cannot let the West slip in this authoritarian dystopia. We must stop Chat Control ✊🛑 #ChatControl #Privacy #HumanRights #Democracy #DigitalRights #EUpol #UKpol #USpol #CanPoli
If you let AI feed you all the answers, then you are letting whomever control this AI decides of everything you learn (or never learn). That people somehow still trust these tools, and what this means for the future of democracy, frightens me to my core. #NoAI #Democracy #NoToOligarchy
Friendly reminder that it's not because something is "legal" that it is *ethical*. And vice versa. Please learn the difference. This is increasingly important.
I see so many people (mostly men, this isn't random) talking about how Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are "incredible" or "still not ready" yet, I don't see anyone calling it what it is: Voyeurism. This technology will increase voyeurism and stalking aggressions in unacceptable ways. These glasses are a voyeur's dream weapon. Also a doxxer's and stalker's dream weapon. Why are our laws and cultures not protecting us against this? #Privacy #Safety #Meta #RayBan #Consent
If you even just think about buying Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses that record everyone around you without consent, I will judge you as a creep, and avoid and report you like I do with other creeps. Don't. Record. People. Without. Consent. #Privacy #Consent #Meta #RayBan

In this age of disinformation and AI slop, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish what information is true or not online. The lack of tone, diversity of cultures, and the fact that many people using social media in English aren't native speakers make it all harder to detect irony and serious-sounding jokes online. Please be careful and make sure your jokes don't end up feeding the disinformation machine, even if you feel it's obvious to you. In doubt, at least use the popular markers "/s" (sarcastic) or "/j" (joke) or parentheses at the end to make this clearer. Thank you 🙏💚 #Disinformation #Misinformation
