The relatively new Nostr protocol is a very interesting decentralized option. It uses relay servers to provide a secure connection between two (or more) clients which maintain the data, nothing is “stored” on the relay.

The wording reminded me of Demolition Man

I want the issue of mass surveillance / data collection to be addressed, instead of this bs which is basically working around the edges the problem. Tick-tock shouldn’t be allowed to sell (/provide) user data to anyone but neither should Meta, X, reddit, etc.

No, they’re both bad.

Lol

What is the social security system was run by China?

That’s your great analogy. This is a social media company. Gtfoh

It’s a bad analogy. Mass surveillance (continuous collection of everyone’s data) has very little to do with the number we use to track social security payments.

We’re talking about individuals’ personal data stored by social media companies being accessible to others (governments, in this case). This has nothing to do with social security.

The problem is that the data is accessable, but that’s not being addressed. This is an improper fix to an actual problem, just facts.

Access to the data it’s what matters, ownership is just one method of access.

I literally rearranged the headline wording

CrowdTangle is Meta’s tool for election integrity, they’re shutting it down without a replacement.

You’re on Lemmy, but it’s probably against rules here too…

But then AIPAC will stop donating

Blaming conservatives for blocking funding, that’s exactly correct.

Caustic Outlook?

Politics…

Tucked out of sight = hidden

What’s this US shit? These corps are international and Americans pay more (for meds) than anyone else does out of pocket.

Same! I recently found this “feature” can be disabled in the preferences, along with a bunch of creepy tracking options.

This response is nonsensical. Auto manufacturers support their vehicles for decades after a car is made.

Call me Adama, my wrenches will remain un-networked.
