The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has just developed a tool, called Babel X, which links social media posts to citizens' Social Security number and location data.

It's not just abuse by surveillance capitalists we must concern ourselves with. It's also governments.

This is all the more reason that people must not only examine how they use social media, but consider owning their social media presence as well.

Never has the idea of a #Fediverse been so important.
