Analysis - Artificial intelligence-enabled cameras on billboards, in bus windshields, on petrol station forecourts and in the checkout at the supermarket - all these are here, or about to be.
When I first opened my facebook account the only people I could add were my online American friends because no one here seemed to have heard of it. So I guess I was part of the problem. Am trying to spread awareness of the Fediverse so hopefully that will balance out my karma!
I was mostly the same with Facebook. Everyone was on… I think Bebo. And I had some friends who had moved overseas invite me to Facebook. This was when it was students only, though I’m pretty sure it was only a matter of months after I joined before it was public for anyone to join.
I think you’re right, so many of us do aspire to get away from social media surveillance and we will eventually have an ecosystem. Thank you for your part in it!😀
My part in it is on one hand running an instance, and on the other hand never mentioning it to anyone IRL 😆
Not sure if I’ve previously mentioned it but I’m reading Mindf*ck at the moment (the book on social media and election manipulation, not the murder romance series). It’s a book by the whistleblower of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. And it’s pretty messed up.
