'Elon Musk’s social media service, X, moved this week to settle thousands of cases brought by former employees who sued after the company dismissed them during his 2022 takeover.'
On April 1, Mohammad Halimi, a 52-year-old exiled Afghan scholar who had been assisting U.S. diplomats in understanding his homeland, learned that his name had appeared in a viral post on X, shared by Elon Musk. The post declared that Halimi was a former Taliban member, and that payments to him for his work for the United States Institute of Peace constituted support for militants. Halimi had worked for the Taliban government in the 1990s, but subsequently switched sides and served as a cabinet minister in the U.S.-backed Afghan government. The Taliban had attempted to assassinate him three times. And the U.S. government — including Musk and DOGE — knew all of this. Musk's post exposed Halimi and endangered him, and those family members who are still in Afghanistan. He immediately began to receive threatening messages. A week after Musk's April 1 social media post, three of his family members were taken by the Taliban in Kabul, questioned and beaten. @ProPublica reports on everything that happened, how DOGE took things to another level on Fox News, and how they continue to justify their actions.
Conway saw it all coming in 1987... #twitter

"(ehemals Twitter)" zu schreiben ist aber auch irgendwie aus der Zeit gefallen, oder?
Freie Meinungsäußerung ist im #fediverse und vor allem auf #mastodon eine sehr, sehr heikle angelegenheit.
Und dann möchte man "besser" sein, als die kommerziellen Netze oder gar #twitter, wo die "Regeln" ebenso vage ausgelegt werden.
Nun gut. Nach mastodon.social ist troet.cafe also der nächste.
Was solls ...
Exactly, so it's not the Porn, it's the Social Networks posting the porn and framing it all without consent, telling young boys to be rapists, to 'grab that pussy'
But doing something about that would mean standing up to the Tech Bros, and the Porn industry is a much easier target.
Blame Elon Musk. He's exposing your creepy teen children to the worst of humanity and making it seem normal.
Dinge, die die @gwup irgendwie vergisst, auf #Mastodon zu posten Teil >2
@florianaigner und #woke als Feindbild.

Following the success (sarcasm!) of my previous post "Battle of IMs", I decided it's time to write another post where I try to articulate in a technical but snarky way my view on the wonderful world of social media, and which one is best among the mainstream and non-mainstream ones. This is a long post, reviewing 14 different "socials".
Wissen zum Nachtisch: 
Retröt: Mastodon für #Einsteiger. Was ist #Mastodon? Wie bekomme ich einen Account? Wie sieht die Oberfläche aus?
Wer als #Twitter-, X-, #Threads- oder Bluesky-User ein neues Zuhause sucht, sollte Mastodon ausprobieren.
I can switch Fedi sites. I can even make my own Fedi site. I cannot make my own Blue Sky.
On the Fediverse, you always have a choice. On corporate social media, like Blue Sky, you're at their mercy and whims. The same was true with Twitter.
That's the difference.

...parallel, 
firmware-level backdoors have been identified in mass-market chips — particularly in #Intel architectures — allowing remote access without user intervention
.
But beyond the technical dimension, the critical issue is structural: the growing alignment between government and corporate interests has given rise to an ecosystem where privacy is negotiable.
#Meta [#WhatsApp, Instagram, #Facebook],# Apple, #Google [#Alphabet], #X (formerly #Twitter), and...
I’ve noticed as a lot of accounts have gone dormant that were once huge in the text based platforms. Have people been leaving mastodon? Where have those users gone to if anywhere?

Es gibt sie noch, die klassischen Webseiten ohne (Fremd)Werbung und #Tracking. Aber sie sind selten geworden.
#asozialeMedien als #Webseitenersatz kotzt mich jedenfalls auch an.
"Besuchen und folgen Sie uns auf / bei #Facebook, #Twitter aka #X, #Instagram, #Tiktok, #WhatsApp, #Telegram etc"
Nein, verdammt nochmal. Ich hätte die Infos gerne auf einer klassischen, gut gemachten #Webseite ohne #BigData, #Nachverfolgung, #Profilbildung & Co
