It's white people's responsibility to stop racism. It's men's responsibility to stop sexism. It's cis people's responsibility to stop transphobia. It's straight people's responsibility to stop homophobia. It's able people's responsibility to stop ableism. It's always the responsibility of the people in a position of privilege to stop the oppression they are benefiting from. If you are part of a privileged group, in one way or another, get to it.
You have more power than you think. Use it. Assemble and organize to fight for your rights ✊ #HumanRights #Activism #Solidarity
Yesterday I was tired. Today I'm tireder. Tomorrow might be tirederer.
You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification. Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations. They need you more than you need them. Force them to work for your rights. Do not comply. #Privacy #AgeVerification #Biometrics #AusPol #USpol

I am so stubborn about not using AI. You have no idea. I will even go as far as writing my own texts, drawing my own images, writing my own code, and reading the whole article or email just by myself. Crazy stuff. #NoAI
If corporations make more money from the infraction than the fine, they will always choose the infraction. Regulations and regulators need to make fines an actual deterrent.
So many good posts that I want to boost, but don't have alt-text :blobcatsadpats: #AltText #Mastodon
When billionaires can't make enough money from consumers anymore, they go for government contracts. This is how they continue to get even richer on your money, but without your consent. Tell your government loudly that you want none of this.
You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around. But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy. Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it. If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got. Privacy rights are a priority. #Privacy #HumanRights #Democracy
