Tomorrow is #PressFreedomDay but press freedom is limited and controlled by Big Tech social networks. That's why Save Social are organising an alternative - #SaveSocialDay For a day, stay silent on Big Tech platforms to remind them that WE are social media. #SocialMedia #BigTech
#TikTok sanzionata per € 530 milioni per trasferimento di dati personali dall'#UE alla #Cina
Il provvedimento è del #DPC, #Garante #Privacy irlandese (a dire il vero, fino a ora molto poco incisivo nella difesa del #GDPR contro le #BigTech)
Per il GDPR è vietato trasferire dati personali di cittadini EU verso paesi che non hanno standard adeguati per la loro protezione. #Bytedance aveva negato ogni trasferimento, ma è stata smentita

Cory Doctorow in the FT:
Many counties introduced legal prohibitions of digital circumvention of intellectual property rights over the years (partly) in return for tariff free access to the US market; for instance, digital rights mechanisms are why HP software cannot be circumvented to allow use of generic printer cartridges.
Since Trump has violated that bargain, Doctorow argues counties should now repeal these DRM laws & allow circumvention of Big Tech's digital rights!

Makes one wonder what else Apple is lying about.
Maybe one shouldn't put all their eggs - er, apples - in one basket?

Who pays the price for the energy and freshwater guzzlers? Not those with the biggest purses. The social fundamental rights of the poorest layer of the population worldwide have been under enormous pressure for a long time and are less and less guaranteed and self-evident.
@volkskrant Wie betalen de tol van de energie- en zoetwaterslurpers? Niet degenen met de grootste beurs. De sociale grondrechten van de armste laag van de bevolking staat al heel lang onder enorme druk en zijn steeds minder geborgd en als vanzelfsprekend.
We cannot ignore #Facebook's ongoing assault against publishers.
Just two days before the local #elections in #Leicestershire, our Facebook account was 'permanently suspended,' effectively banning us from the platform.
As a result, we will rely less on these platforms and seek more ethical ways to reach our audience, like our weekly newsletter and the #fediverse.
