Since they are going for a fee-for-service model like Wordpress, I'm optimistic. This is key for breaking the network effects that #gatekeeper companies rely on: #Apple #Meta #Facebook #WhatsApp #Discord #Telegram #Signal.

Spero che alle parole seguano fatti e che la CGIL inizi a fornire agli iscritti i servizi informatici basilari, come email, instant messanging cifrato (#xmmp? #matrix?), ed inizi ad evitare come la peste a tutti i livelli quei fornitori che profilano i lavoratori per manipolarli (#Google, #Facebook, #Amazon etc...)
Intelligenza artificiale, regole da rivedere

Julian Assange: “Questa generazione è l’ultima generazione libera" - Articolo e video del 21/9/2018
Il fondatore di #Wikileaks ha affermato che a anno dalla nascita, i bambini sono già noti alle "principali potenze mondiali" perché "genitori idioti" pubblicano i loro nomi e le loro foto su #Facebook. Assange prevede anche una futura cyberwar globale poiché Internet non ha distanze né confini e gli hacker possono attaccare chiunque in qualsiasi parte del pianeta
Julian Assange warns this generation is the last to be free of surveillance
The Wikileaks founder said that within a year of being born, children are now known to 'all major world powers' because their 'idiotic parents' post their names and pictures on Facebook.Sara Malm (Daily Mail)

Ban Online Behavioral Advertising, please Mr. #facebook and Mrs. #meta
"Such targeting supercharges the efforts of fraudulent, exploitive, and misleading advertisers. It allows peddlers of shady products and services to reach exactly the people who, based on their online behavior, the peddlers believe are most likely to be 🤪vulnerable to their messaging. Too often, what’s good for an advertiser is actively harmful for their targets"

Ban Online Behavioral Advertising

![Three-panel image macro, based on screenshots from the animated series The Simpsons. The top panel shows pub owner Moe Syszlak, holding perpetual drunkard Barney Gumble by his collar and his pants and throwing him out of his tavern. Barney is labelled, "Friendica".

He represents Facebook after making Friendica's bidirectional federation illegal and thus throwing Friendica out. The bottom panel shows shows Moe in an akimbo stance, his fists pressed against his hips as if guarding the entrance to his tavern so that Barney won't come back in. He does not notice that Barney, labelled "Friendica" again, has already entered his tavern again, and he is standing right behind him.
