“A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech”

https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-new-way-to-describe-the-fediverse-and-its-opposition-to-big-tech/

I think I may have finally found a way to explain the Fediverse and make it appealing to people not familiar with it - a very Italian, highly accessible way to frame it, via an analogy that anyone could understand.

Video is such a big part of how we share, learn, and stay updated online. But with #BigTech monopolies and censorship (both private and state), it’s key to have alternatives.

This month, we’re talking to @peertube, a network of independent, self-managed and interconnected platforms. They received a grant from @NGIZero as part of the #NGI0 project.

Colleagues have implemented TOTP as a second authentication factor on the virtual machines in the data center! 👏

But they were almost recommending that people use the Google Authenticator app... 😶‍🌫️

Let's forget all the Fairy Tales about big-tech taking responsibility for societal issues or human rights. It's always and only about the money.

Want to extricate yourself from USA #BigTech? This site provides useful lists of #European alternatives!

I genuinely believe that the next most important act of resistance people can do right now, beyond supporting the vulnerable and going to protests, is getting off big tech. We can do this. It doesn't have to be this way. Because most of their money is from advertising, we don't pay for these services. The cost of the service is the extraordinary political power these tech tools give o.oooo1% of the population. We are paying a terrible price for these services.

We caught 4 more states sharing personal health data with Big Tech

Healthcare exchanges in Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island shared users’ sensitive health data with companies like Google and LinkedIn

Maine’s exchange, CoverME.gov, sent information on drug prescriptions and dosages to Google through an analytics tool. It also sent the names of doctors and hospitals that people had previously visited.

Google is an illegal monopoly, losing three different antitrust cases in the US over the last few years. None of us should be sending them data anymore, let alone state-run services.
