We were gifted a #Ring doorbell several years ago. Then #Amazon bought Ring, and all the privacy violations, facial recognition, and ICE cooperation started. We decided to cancel so covered the doorbell with electrical tape. Then the fun began of trying to cancel the service. I've ended up contacting BBB and both my US senators in hopes that my account can finally be closed. I can uninstall the doorbell, but the billing has to stop too. Classic #enshitification :-(
Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people.
Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

@ProPublica Sounds like a great project, so itʻs remarkably ironic that my browser auto-blocked four tracking cookies on this page. #tech #enshitification
I've started listening to that Audiobook i bought. And @pluralistic 's recounting of the enshitification of Facebook is... epic. Highly recommend. #enshitification
A lot has happened in the last two decades. Much good, some bad, and now the ugly...
I am so happy I completely left billionaire owned social media years ago. They would decimate my interaction with the world as they fed a curated feed approved by their grifting policies. There's no way I would have an information rich feed of arts and sciences like I do now, like how #Facebook disappeared posts with links outside their walled garden of ads.
Thank you @pluralistic for researching and documenting the details... and coining a now famous term for all this, #enshitification 😹
I fear they will aggressively and ruthlessly come for the #Fediverse soon
