🇬🇧Astonishing how many people I value still use GMail - and GMail's error-prone #chatcontrol isn't even mentioned in the article: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/09/how-private-is-your-gmail-and-should-you-switch

Which privacy-friendly email providers do you use?

🇬🇧This goes to all surveillance fundamentalists: The child porn ring "Boystown" has been busted following targeted investigations, without indiscriminate scanning of private messages (#chatcontrol) and IP #dataretention! That's the way! https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/4-arrested-in-takedown-of-dark-web-child-abuse-platform-some-half-million-users

I was wrong, it is possible to “fix the system from within.” So here’s the new plan:

Greta Thunberg, please join ExxonMobil.

Doctors, apply for jobs at Philip Morris.

Pacifists, enrol in the military.

Personally, I will immediately start a new job with six figure pay and stock options at Facebook to help fix privacy.

“Cryptocurrency is literally like an eight-year-old’s concept of an evil businessman. He just plugs his pollution machine in and gets money for it. It doesn’t make anything, it just. Pollutes. And makes money. Like a fucking Captain Planet villain”

Ich finde "Die kleinste gemeinsame Wirklichkeit" von Mai Thi Nguyễn-Kim ist ein richtig gut gemachtes Buch über Basics des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses, so mit Korrelationskoeffizient und wahr, falsch und plausibel erklärt anhand von klassischen Zankthemen wie Impfung, Gewalt und Videospiele, Drogenlegalisierung und Gender Pay Gap.

Now it's our turn to #CleanUpTheWeb !

Data retention: ignorance becomes a political method. Not only Macron wants to simply ignore the rulings of the EU Court of Justice. Berlin is following the same course.
This is not the Rule of Law !

🇬🇧 Incredible: Microsoft decides which e-mail Members of the European Parliament get to read in their inbox. It's called Outlook spam filter and cannot be disabled.
