Meta and Google, in league with
period tracking app Flo, shared and violated Flo users’ data.

It goes without saying, that not only is this illegal, but it breaches privacy, and puts people at profound risk.

Google, Flo, and data analytics firm, Flurry, settled prior. Meta proceeded to trial, and a jury just concluded that they tapped in on and violated Flo users’ privacy globally.

Not all apps are always trying to steal your data, but most of them do.
And Big Tech always does.

Mr Starmer is very clear. If you hold up a sign saying you object to his "government" helping Israel to kill Palestinians, you are a terrorist, and will be arrested.

Starmer is disgusting.

My sister Sylvia died of pancreatic cancer in 2012 at the age of 47, leaving three teenage children behind. The mRNA cancer vaccine being developed in the US was the best hope we've ever had to prevent this. The Trump Administration's decision to cut funding for this live-saving research based on pseudo-scientific hysteria condemns more people like my sister to death, and more children to grow up without their mothers. https://third-bit.com/2012/01/21/the-life-i-did-live-the-breath-i-breathed/

So the arms traffickers and genocide enablers are trying to clean up their act two years after fully supporting the mass murder of innocent men, women, and children in #Gaza. Two years later is too late and #Germany must be made to pay at the very least, reparations directly to the Palestinian people. If they really cared, they would send people to the war zone. Help is needed on the ground and nit picking the best children for their PR cleanup will not wash. #GermanGenocide

UK would rather arrest almost 500 people rather than admit or cease its complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

So I guess the next step is a 5,000-person protest.

They arrest 5,000? Time for 50,000.

Overwhelm the system until the system stops committing genocide.

I know PixelFed exists but it's all just text and video and images at the end of the day - so what if the Mastodon interface just looked like Instagram and then you could sign in using your existing Mastodon account... a concept:

This is just hacked together real quick, but should I work on this to make it a real thing?

This is what a genocide denialist looks like.

Genocide denial is the last stage of genocide.

Phil, you’re complicit in genocide. And history is taking notes.

Remember a couple years back when all those #fediverse folks had NDA meetings with #meta? And few of them "reported" on what happened in the meeting.

It always stuck with me how bad they wanted us to know that the meta team is oblivious to the Fediverse and need them to explain it.

...okay.
