"What we have today is an entire economic system built on this instrumentarian power. If capitalism is a system built on the production and sale of commodities, our personal data is one of the most sought out. It is mined and refined just like oil, and it has become almost as valuable. The ability to influence behavior at such an enormous scale is coveted by all sorts of third parties, particularly e-commerce businesses and political campaigns. So the US Supreme Court may well have reason to fear that TikTok could grant a powerful few undue influence over the behavior of many American citizens, even if politicians’ claims that TikTok — a private company — is funneling user data to the Chinese government are misguided. If the Chinese wanted the data, they could just buy it. Rather, the Supreme Court has decided that the free speech of American users of TikTok is a small price to pay to protect US tech hegemony, not Americans’ data or privacy.

This is substantiated by the astonishing lack of government oversight of homegrown apps and tech companies. The Supreme Court obviously has few qualms about the undue power to manipulate the behavior of citizens that US policy has granted to corporations, private players who have no concern for the greater interests of their users beyond their ability to target them with ads and political messaging."

jacobin.comThe TikTok Ban Won’t HelpThe TikTok ban is about US tech hegemony, not national security or protecting Americans’ data, which homegrown social media companies make a business of collecting and selling.

hubzilla for everybody!

Scott M. Stolz wrote the following post Thu, 09 Jan 2025 18:20:42 +0100 Hubzilla has an interesting opportunity right now. Due to the recent controversial changes made by #Facebook, many people are looking for a Facebook alternative. Well, Hubzilla is a #FacebookAlternative and this could be a great opportunity to attract new users to the Fediverse.

This is perfect timing, since we are launching several new things this month. We will start with some public servers that people can sign up for.

The first ones will be Hubzilla.Monster, Loves.Tech, and Conversation.Space. Then we will launch Mostly.Social and Infinity.Cafe after that. We are also working with some others that want to run their own public servers. So lots of new sites coming soon. And if you want your own domain, we offer Managed Hubzilla as well.

It is great that the fediverse has grown with Twitter-style platforms. But not everyone wants that. Some people want a Facebook alternative. And that is what we do. It's our time to shine.

#Dislike ボタンが常に悪だとはいわないけど。使われ方次第だとは思う。
ユーザーができる Report よりももうちょっと緩い治安行為と考えればポジティブな効果もあるとは思うけど、ユーザーに「キライだ」みたいな表現を促す UI は長期的にはあまり良いものになるとは思えないんだよな…

Dislike したい気持ちが湧いたときは、Dislike ボタン押させるよりは、別の投稿に Like させるとか、もしくは #SociaMedia 上ではない場所で吐き出してもらう（文字通り、リアルの居酒屋トークとか）でほうがよい気がする。
Dislike がデータとして記録される場所って、本当に良い場所になるんだろうか

Good.
