We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human (www.windowscentral.com)

Repost: The power and influence of billionaire tech companies over the government is enormous. Ofcourse workers/users don't get any (privacy) rights in america, none is lobbying for them lol, nobody in Washington is fighting for us

  • A measure you would normally impose on convicted criminals or terrorist leaders is now being used by the U.S. against these three people:
    • former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for European legislation including on social media;
    • Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, who researches online hate, A US judge has temporarily blocked the detention of this British social media campaigner Imran Ahmed, who took legal action against the US government over having his visa removed. Mr Ahmed, a US permanent resident, had warned that being detained and possibly deported would tear him away from his American wife and child. 😳;
    • and Clare Melford, who maps disinformation with her organization.

All three are now banned from entering the United States because they criticize and restrict American social media platforms such as X and Facebook.

their power and influence wont stop 100 million people breaking down their gates, grabbing them out of their beds, and throwing them into woodchippers.
