Das Problem ist global: Tech-Konzerne verlagern Ausbeutung in den "Globalen SĂŒden".
In Kenia werden Menschen fĂŒr Hungerlöhne traumatische Inhalte moderiert. Das ist nicht nur unethisch, sondern auch eine Bedrohung fĂŒr die Menschenrechte.
Wir brauchen eine globale Regulierung der Tech-Industrie!
Kenia, Palantir & die EU: Ein gefÀhrliches Dreieck.
Die Ausbeutung von Content-Moderator*innen wird durch die Zusammenarbeit von Tech-Giganten & Regierungen noch verstÀrkt.
Die EU sollte Regeln setzen, nicht Ăberwachung fördern!
[Opinion] Sovereignty was once exclusive to the powerfulâgovernments, billionaires, and elites controlling the rules. Add "Social" and everything shifts.

Ofcom writes to 4chan: âWe are a UK-based regulator, but that does not mean the rules do not apply to sites based abroadâ â true, but irrelevantâŠ

Ofcom may declare that their rules apply anywhere, but that doesnât mean that anywhere is necessarily within Ofcomâs jurisdiction. America might as well be another planet. Ofcom may claim whatever it likes, but itâs what the inhabitants believe that is important.
Expect another clickbait million-pound fine announcement, imminently:

"One explanation would be that it is our #manifestdestiny. It is the destiny of humankind to build AI. It is the destiny of AI to keep advancing AI. This is so obvious that it doesnât need to have any further explanation or justification."

@slashdot yes and diluting instead of strenghtening #GDPR is basically a #ConditionlessSurrender to #Trumpism and the #TechBro-based #AmericanOligarchy who see #Europe merely as #consumers and a place to prey on for #DigitalColonialism!
So Google is building a massive AI data centre on Christmas Island, a tiny remote Australian territory with 1,692 people, and itâs exactly the kind of dystopian tech imperialism youâd expect.
Theyâre militarising a small island community in the name of cloud computing, partnering with the Australian Defence Department to monitor Chinese submarines and enable AI powered warfare systems. The island becomes a pawn in great power conflicts while Google extracts strategic value.
Meanwhile, locals are promised vague economic benefits while their homeland gets turned into a surveillance node with subsea cables linking to US Marine bases. Classic extractive colonialism dressed up as innovation.
The energy demands alone, powered by a local mining company, naturally, are staggering. Big Tech continues doubling our electricity costs for AI toys while communities bear the burden.
Christmas Island is known for red crab migrations, not military infrastructure. But when youâre a trillion dollar corporation, even the most remote ecosystems are just real estate for your empire.

@curiously @ilumium Thatâs it exactly: digital colonialism, a last ditch and final push to save Empire by any means possible, no matter the cost and consequences. Clegg is responsible for effectively destroying the Liberal Democratic Party. All because only those parties who are loyal to Empireâs fascists, as in their celebrity cults can do no wrong. The fact that so many can be bought and brainwashed to serve its techno fascists and their cults is beyond depressing. It must be a mind virus. No wonder there is a mental health crisis. #AiEmpire #DigitalColonialism #IPTheft

đ€ What's really behind the call to "learn to build on the ideas of others" broadcasted by Microsoft? We should be cautious, especially given its past history of the "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" strategy it's used for dominance in the past.

While over here in Amsterdam we are fighting for our independence from toxic networks like WhatsApp, many countries in the Global South are only getting further locked-in. This is a dimension of #DigitalSovereignty that we do not talk about enough.

"Am I gentrifying these people out of their homes?"
As sensible European countries start the slow process of thinking through #DigitalSovereignty the UK welcomes #DigitalColonialism for a few shiny beads or something. This is a move which it will be exceptionally hard to reverse.
Last November Peter Kyle admitted that the Big Tech companies needed to be treated like states and approached along diplomatic lines. What on earth makes him think they are friendly states? #Gullible
This 2-part interview w/ #KarenHao, author of Empire of AI - just yesterday - is a very deep investigation and expansion on the @digiges discussions at @cbase last tues. ... on the need to regulate and/or 'democratize' and/or ? stop AI ?! #digitalcolonialism #technocolonialism #technofascism #fuckoff #OpenAI + #SamAltman ... https://www.democracynow.org/2025/6/4/karen_hao_empire_of_ai
