Ciao!

Con alcuni amici di #Mastodon stiamo progettando una #Associazione di promozione della cultura digitale, il software libero, il diritto all'opt-out dalla profilazione commerciale e per tante altre cose che ci migliorano la vita.

Se vuoi contribuire, puoi rispondere a questo toot oppure vedere direttamente il documento di progettazione, che sta qui:

The hacker could have done that to ANY account... he would have made much more money with extortion/ransom rather than a lame bitcoin scam. Probably not the usual criminal then.

Ricordate che se un progetto è gratuito allora pagate con tutti i vostri dati e indirettamente quelli dei vostri familiari e amici, non solo per "mantenere il servizio gratuito" - i vostri dati portano loro un enorme profitto quasi interamente esentasse.

Usate prodotti liberi senza profilazione e se potete donate qualcosa per mantenerli liberi, attivi ed efficienti.

Bastano anche pochi centesimi alla settimana per finanziare un progetto libero come #Mastodon:

Famed Archaeology Professor Fired After Photos Surface Of Him Wearing Nazi Uniform

“He’s had close calls before, but the walls are really closing in on him now.”

@matteoscordino @markosaric @imacrea It’s very much in Silicon Valley’s interests that you interpret it that way. When they spend millions to lobby the European Union for favourable conditions for startups (which put sustainable, non VC-backed small tech businesses at a disadvantage), the difference becomes very important.

#Humor #Statistics

How do we make ironic articles about the loss of privacy on websites that use spy trackers a thing of the past?

The duality of tech journals / online magazines / bloggers that advocate for #privacy yet are using #google #analytics, pervasive ad tracking (offline and online), etc. on their websites is an issue that may demand our attention.

What might help?

+ A code of conduct?
+ More vocal online protest?
+ Sharable “I won’t read your post because...” graphics?

Any ideas are welcome...
