Who's winning the legal battle against big data and disinformation | Business Beyond

[@name_it]

Recently I bought a book for German practice and lessons. The digital copy was provided to me quickly however I had to install an app to use it. I was literarily shocked when the app asked me to have access to my Google Drive, photos, contacts, and documents!! Of course, I didn't agree. Why on Nebula they would need such personal information? I just want to study German on my own and practice. Additionally, I just want to share the fact I am already 4 months without Facebook and Twitter... It feels really good :)) Cheers.

Very good reporting. The commercial exploitation of person's data without boundaries is a risk for democracy already confirmed around the world. When you consider AI to this subject, it is indeed extremely dangerous, not only a risk for democracy, but a menace for humanity itself.

[@EminMastizada]

From interviewed definition of surveillance (comparing to East Germany): - Following your around: Google Maps. - Microphones in your home: Google home and some mobile apps. - One of your friends informing on you: Listening and photos apps, checkins and so on can record and report data about you. There was a good study on how Facebook will track people with privacy settings using other devices near them. So, why wouldn’t you call it surveillance if all 3 arguments are satisfied?

@@ryanreedgibson We can't forever legislate and regulate. These companies behaviour are not abhorrent but they are not clear. Ask a member of the public what free means and they will say something for nothing. That isn't this, so let's clarify that and see how the public behaviour changes.

Targeted advertising is like blinders for a horse. By accidentally clicking on an advertising banner, you will be fed similar information, against your will. You won't be able to see ads for good and inexpensive products. You will be fed by the piece of s, because the owner of the piece of s paid more for targeted advertising.

[@omnizen]

American culture increasingly resorts to BIG WORDS, finding relief uttering them, without offering any detail or definition. Enemies are smitten mentioning "freedom," "communism," "socialism," or "democracy." These "systems," we trust, manufacture reliable formulas for the future. "History," on the other hand, does not need a plan. History happens, without giving credit to any government, people, political party, religion, or culture. We call it "history" and assign responsibility after the natural order of things has evolved, which may be violent, peaceful, or just plain uninteresting. Conservatives take "Relief Factor," per Sebastian Gorka, EVERY DAY. The once enjoyable WILD WEST of the internet is daily falling into the detritus of CORPORATIZATION. These unholy "juridical personhoods" do not have the same interests as private human beings. They are in fact not human beings. Google a "reverse phone number look up," and a long list of "free" directories instantaneously appears, but on inquiry, none of them are actually free anymore. Like everything else in capitalism, cartelization falls into motion like vultures preying on 3-day old roadkill.

Data is the new gold 🪙🪙

[@distrologic2925]

It should help democracy. More data is good. People can share their opinion and take influence on products and policies. It could take democracy to the next level. But the public sphere needs to catch up with the private companies and make them handle their users' data responsibly and transparently. For example people could store their data in a verified data center network, publicly funded, and the applications will only interface with these data storages. People have full control of their data and applications even don't have to worry about storing the user data. This is actually what some blockchain based networks have done.

8:03 No, it's not terrible at all to have a one hour call across the world for free but sacrificing your privacy to Big Tech and the surveillance state is not the only or even best way to do it. There are many privacy respecting alternatives that offer similar or better services like Jitsi Meet @JitsiOrg, Signal, Matrix, Jami @jami9311 etc so this person's point is nothing but a sloppy excuse for surveillance capitalism.
