Elon Musk's social media company X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters for America on Monday, saying it manufactured a report to show advertisers' posts alongside neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts in order to drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X Corp.
In response, Media Matters claims that the lawsuit is frivolous and aimed at silencing critics of X.
Ironically, a news report this morning revealed that Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by George Soros and others who oppose Western civilization. The organization is said to be designed to suppress certain views.
While these big companies are stuck in profit-driven conflicts, the commitment to protecting freedom of speech and privacy seems to have been completely forgotten. Now, the truth is treated as the new hate speech.
Why not? It's a secure messenger like Session. While on Wiremin you can even turn off the public groups feature.
They profit from user-generated content and monetize your data, and now they're asking for your money to keep creating content for them.
You should walk away from these toxic platforms. In reality, there are tons of excellent software options that do not collect and sell your data while allowing you to use their services and protecting your privacy at the same time. Mastodon (I guess most of you have already heard of it), Element, SimpleX Chat, WireMin, Session, etc. I can keep listing them all day.
Elon does Elon things.
Freedom of speech is not free.
It’s definitely more secure since it only works on one device. And I think they might have gotten this idea from a decentralized network.
This actually reminds me of a decentralized social network application. They allow one account to be logged into multiple devices through a private key (backup recovery phrase), however, different devices may have different passwords, and each password only works on its respective device.
It’s called WireMin. If you guys are interested, personally think its much more fun than Session.
Due to my parents' relationship issue, my childhood was miserable. I have to say that choosing to cut out my parents after going to college was the best decision I have made in the past 25 years. They once made me feel like I was the most guilty person in the world, but now I realize that they were the ones.
Funner fact, social media apps collect more data than anybody else.
What concerns me most is that biometric data is permanent and cannot be changed. If we share it with the digital world, it could lead to lifelong privacy risks. And I believe that the risks and threats to privacy brought by the UK's Online Safety Bill far outweigh the protection it can provide us with.
I don't know how the government plans to enforce the Bill, but as far as I know, some decentralized encrypted messaging apps are unstoppable, because every user who using the app jointly creates the social network that avoids a single point of failure.
They expressed their opinions regarding Discord.io today as well
WireMin is not built on blockchains, according to their website at https://wiremin.org/ How do they achieve decentralization without utilizing blockchain technology?
Do you use multiple phone numbers as well? Because that can be quite bothersome.
Thanks bro. Any alternatives to Twitter and Instagram?
What's the point of reading if you don't even have the right to say no?
How do you avoid Amazon? Shopping in physical stores only?
So is WireMin like a more secure version of Twitter?
How about MacOS?
True. There is also a great divide between people who care about privacy and people who don't.
ProtonMail is great, I use it as well.
How to remember complex and long passwords?
