Recent comic: Cutting out the Middleman
I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK is rogue in trying to order a backdoor to Apple encryption.
US lawmakers slam the UK's secretive order, calling it what it is:
🔥 'Dangerous' for global cybersecurity
🔥 'Effectively a foreign cyberattack'
The Home Office must back off ✋

It couldn't be clearer: Encryption is online safety.
It keeps our data secure from hackers. Our systems secure from global bad actors. Our rights secure from State oppression in a digitalised society.

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.38 Degrees
The data was found exposed on an Amazon cloud server, and contained precise location data on thousands of vehicles.Zack Whittaker (TechCrunch)
Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

When will Nextcloud's release announcements #RegainControl of where their videos are hosted?
So far you've chosen to keep them silo'd off on a #proprietary, #centralized, non #privacy friendly #surveillance platform, ie #Google's #YouTube.
Is this what #Nextcloud / #NextcloudHub stands for?
So far, the repeated silence on this subject has spoken louder than any release announcement.

Serious Question: who cares about #mastodon user counts? and why? – outside #SiliconValley #BigTech #VC #Media #Attention #Surveillance #SurveillanceCapitalism interests?
Large platforms - think #Twitter, #Facebook, etc - are very unresponsive to users. Most famously, Facebook polled its users on whether they wanted to be spied on. Faced with overwhelming opposition to commercial surveillance, Facebook ignored the poll result and cranked the #surveillance dial up to a million:

As long as they're not touting 'ungoogled, open' #hardware and packing it chock full of their own spying tools.

If you don’t know what I mean when I say “surveillance capitalism” or “people farming”, here’s a quick overview I did for the BBC a little while ago:
