Today is the last day to opt out of #Amazon #Echo or #Ring products forming part of a #proprietaryInternet. A system of mass surveillance — Amazon's corporate, privately-controlled #meshNetwork.
Kind of like a #trojanHorse – maybe received as a #FREE GIFT?
…#deleteAmazon and #recycleAmazon.
If you know just one person, tell them today.

@dsfgs could you point me to a good text which explains how this amazon system works and why it's so problematic?
I do understand the keywords ... "proprietary, monopoly, surveillance, ..." but would simply like to read about what it does, how it works so I can see that it's so problematic. ... thanks.

Thanks for asking.
If you are looking for a mainstreamMedia piece you'll likely be disappointed as they have opted to turn a blind eye to bigTech.
We remember one resource.
Two actually, #Mozilla have a website dedicated to unethical, surveillance products and why you shouldn't buy them as a gift, its a mock shopping website.
It was on there and other places.
We will return.

Yes, as we thought it was indeed hackaday that provided some coverage of this very, very under-reported event.
Its not what it does per se that is the issue. Its, as you mention, those three points you mentioned, the experimental aspects combined with how #BigTech are now branching out into #bigRealEstate and have bought entire town and parts of cities, like #Google has done etc.
See hashtag (#) Echo.

Thanks for digging that up .. I'll read ..
As to corporations/individuals buying big proportions of land.
This is indeed a serious problem everywhere and there are enough examples: Bill Gates, Albrecht brothers (Germany), ...
I am absolutely sure that this problem is so fundamental, that it must be adressed by democratic societies on the constitutional level soon.
Seems to me that more and more people are becoming aware of the underlying dynamics and that there ought to be juristic measures to counteract the accumulation of land in the hands of few people and the negative consequences it has for societies.

Many ppl do not know who they are paying #economicRents too, and importantly why.
It may as well be #aMafia.
There are a host of #grifters that just need to '#stop', and we mean that in many senses of the word — its not even funny.
Most are having their #IQ lowered now. The #magnaCarta or even just understanding #local affairs is getting out of reach.
