Leave X - Protect Democracy

@leavex@mastodon.social · 10 hours ago

This analogy will become our motto: big tech social media is the new tobacco.

We’re taking far too long to realize it’s a cancer for democracies.

Martin Gak:

So telegram sent a political propaganda message attacking Pedro Sanchez to every single Spanish user. Think of that... a non national actor building a political campaign with unparalleled reach. Every Spanish user...

I have to give it to Pavel Durov. He managed to show in under 200 words what I’ve been trying to argue for years: digital infrastructure is critical infrastructure and unprotected it amounts to a massive security vulnerability that endangers the state, its citizens and its democratic rule.

By hijacking Spain’s national communication with a parallel national communication system to push a call for political subversion against efforts to protect children and uphold the law, he showed what happens when critical infrastructure is not protected or is allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

This episode also explains why far-right networks across the West are panicking over threats to their propaganda channels. The stakes are clear: control over digital infrastructure shapes public discourse, legal integrity, and the safety of the most vulnerable. Indeed, Telegram, Twitter, Insta and Tiktok are the main instrument of the new emerging FachoInter. — Martin Gak: So telegram sent a political propaganda message attacking Pedro Sanchez to every single Spanish user.

@giacomo All good except the mistaken suggestion that #KOSA could make anything better. KOSA would prevent any effective access to privacy, including the minimum necessary to bypass ideological censorship or to stay safe from abusively controlling parents, while also facilitating government censorship and wholesale identity theft against adults.

It would render Signal and Mastodon—two of the most important technologies for free expression—unlawful.

Prohibiting addiction-oriented algorithms would be beneficial. However, enforcing online age verification (as opposed to on-device parental controls) is always harmful: in a multitude of ways.

You can't wait for whistlebowers to be sure the algorithm employed are designed to addict.

So "prohibiting #addiction-oriented algorithms" is in no way enough: we need to make their application unfeasable.

Let's ban any centralized #SocialNetworks.

Let's outlaw any software that transfer one bit of data more than what is demonstrably required to fulfill users' request.

Let's completely ban #cookies, software fingerprinting, tracking, targeted ads and everything that fluel #SurveillanceCapitalism.

Let's ban "free services" based users' data collection and users' manipulation, starting from #GMail free tiers.

Let's break #BigTech like #Google or #Meta so that they cannot both provide services to users and sell ads or data.

This will work.

#AgeVerification is just giving these companies further data point even on people they cannot directly spy. It will further damage worldwide societies and #democracy withou any benefit to kids and other vulnerable people.

"Nos démocraties européennes sont menacées.

Demandons d’urgence une commission d’enquête pour que le Parlement européen fasse toute la lumière sur l’ingérence américaine et les complicités politiques qui font régresser nos lois et monter l’extrême droite dans l’UE !"
👇https://petitions.bloomassociation.org/fr/ingerence-americaine-europe

Je partage ici cette petition de Bloom sur un sujet qui fait froid dans le dos. Merci de partager un maximum

#antifascism #democracy #ecocide

Ingérence américaine en Europe : exigeons une commission d’enquête parlementaire

L’heure est grave. La droite européenne s’est alliée à l’extrême droite et à l’administration Trump pour démanteler les lois qui protègent nos droits, notre santé, notre économie, nos démocraties et le climat. La droite a trahi les intérêts supérieurs de l’Union européenne. En faisant exploser le cordon sanitaire et en s’alliant à des partis néo-nazis, fascistes, racistes et suprémacistes, la droite met en péril la souveraineté européenne et la paix de notre Vieux Continent. Demandons aux parlementaires européens de lancer une Commission d’enquête sur les ingérences étrangères au sein des institutions européennes pour faire toute la lumière sur les liens entre nos responsables politiques et les adversaires de l’Union européenne ! Merci de signer notre pétition et de la relayer largement autour de vous.

Now your Epstein update. Yep, Trumpworld was tight with the world's worst child sex trafficker. And the DOJ does nothing.

Steve Bannon - who is tight with Trump and many GOP figures - did an interview with Epstein https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/05/steve-bannon-jeffrey-epstein-files-interview

Epstein was partying with the Trump boys in 2016. https://www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-said-he-was-hanging-with-the-trump-boys-after-the-2016-election/
