"#SurveillanceGiants lays out how the surveillance-based business model of #Facebook and #Google is inherently incompatible with the right to #privacy and poses a systemic threat to a range of other rights including #freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of thought, and the right to #equality and non-discrimination."

@wyatwerp.
> is there an #ActivityPub or #Zot "plug-in" for a 'Contribute' button

Good question. Maybe GNU #Taler could be useful here? It's designed to accept payment in a number of forms, while protecting the #privacy of the payer. Clicking the 'contribute' button could trigger a transaction on a Taler instance on the same server.

"To respect visitors’ #privacy, #EDRi’s new guide for ethical website development recommends to simply not include any third party resources and services on a site. Host that image, font, or traffic counter yourself; or at least pay the hosting provider for its service with your money, not with other people’s personal data."

Exactly!

For todays #FollowFriday I'm going to do something a bit different. We have a lot of new users, one of the biggest surges we have seen in a while. As such a lot of new users are looking for high quality, long-standing, accounts to follow. Similarly many of the new users need some help getting attention and making new friends.

As such I am going to do this #FF in a few parts. One for old users I have mentioned in previous posts, as well as some of the new users who have been making quality posts and been active for at least a week now. Hopefully this will be more helpful.

Also a section for some bots might be useful.

I will use a persons profile description here as I dont want to misrepresent anyone.

Here's what I find hilarious about the current concern trolling over nasty people, planning violent things, in secret rooms on the internet. The people the concern trolls think are going to fix this are politicians and tech industry CEOs, many of whom tend to be nasty people, planning violent things, in secret rooms. Fox in charge of the henhouse much?
