At the #NextcloudConference Austrian lawyer and privacy activist @maxschrems gave an inspiring keynote about taking on Big Tech in the courts - and winning. Twice! Listen to the harrowing tale of European courts, politicians playing games and lobbying to sell out European citizens' data. And what comes next! #privacy #lobbying #BigTech

While all software has security issues, the irresponsible behavior of Microsoft shows why anti-trust action is needed to reduce the stranglehold the big tech firms have over the cloud computing market. Without external pressure, companies tend to hide rather than fix problems. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/08/microsoft-cloud-security-blasted-for-its-culture-of-toxic-obfuscation/ #security #bigtech #oversight

Microsoft comes under blistering criticism for “grossly irresponsible” security

Azure looks like a house of cards collapsing under the weight of exploits and vulnerabilities.

🇬🇧 New Rules for #BigTech? The EU's Digital Services Act (#DSA) does not protect you from the surveillance capitalist business model, including highly problematic timeline algorithms and platform censorship.

My comment: https://t.co/aQ59piYHJT https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/industry-friendly-eu-digital-services-act-leaves-big-tech-business-model-intact/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Industry-friendly EU Digital Services Act leaves big tech business model intact

As of today, the largest internet corporations such as Amazon, Meta (Facebook, Instagram), TikTok, X/Twitter, Youtube and the Google search engine must comply with the new EU Digital Services Act.

I love @skiff - great for migrating away from #BigTech although I wish #encryptedemail providers in general had #interoperability with other providers and clients since most of our contacts are using #Gmail and Microsoft email.

Shoshana Zuboff’s “The Age of #SurveillanceCapitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power” definitely lives up to its reputation. It’s a pummeling analysis of how #BigTech have taken over the modern era, harvesting information, details, sentiments, emotions, etc. from our lives, creating profiles & predictive models, & working to modify our behavior for the purpose of profit-making (all without most of us understanding or being aware of how we’ve been changed). #Reading

Portada: ¿Qué tanto sabe Google de ti?
1. sabe quién eres, con información básica, de salud, aspecto, voz, creencias... 2. dónde estás, a dónde vas dónde has estado, por cuánto tiempo...
3. con quién te relacionas 4. lo que te gusta y no te gusta
5. Tus planes 6. Básicamente todo lo que haces

If you want to force Big Tech to support local journalism, fine, but find another way. Don't destroy the link, which is basically tantamount to destroying the web.

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:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/surveillance-capitalism-has-led-us-into-a-dystopia/p06p0tdy

(Where we differ with Shoshana, who coined the former term, is that she sees it as a corruption of capitalism, whereas I see it as the natural evolution of capitalism in the digital network age.)
