It seems the only thing keeping US companies from selling name-revealing facial recognition tools (and even glasses) is their own business decisions.

It's time for better privacy laws.

Yesterday I published a blog post and linked to it on #Mastodon, #Facebook and #LinkedIn. Here is the comparison:

Mastodon - 9 boosts, 12 favorites, 70 click-throughs.
Facebook - 0 shares, 3 likes, 10 click-throughs.
LinkedIn - 0 shares, 0 likes, 0 click-throughs.

Draw your own conclusions.

#Facebook is microtargeting & amplifying misleading fundraising efforts for someone it previously banned for inciting an insurrection under 4 indictments for 91 felony counts many related to the reason he was banned?

> Five American companies – #Alphabet, #Amazon, #Apple, #Meta and #Microsoft – and one Chinese – #ByteDance – have initially been categorised as gatekeepers. They will now face legal obligations to change the way their popular services, such as messaging, social media, video-sharing and Internet browsers, are offered online.

Good article demonstrating some major problems with copyright law from @arstechnica

The fact that services like #YouTube and #Facebook have become so interwoven in basic facets of society is a major problem. They yield tremendous power and control. Using self-hosted, decentralized, federated services like @joinpeertube is the solution that wrests control back away from them.
