@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run It's not just the UK. It's everywhere. The US, the EU, Canada, India. See how EU politicians keep resurrecting Chat Control no matter how many times people say they don't want it. Politicians only care about staying in power. Mass surveillance is a natural outgrowth of that. And if private companies collect data for them, all the better. No need to get a warrant. So they let corporations spy on us. Even pay them to build more spyware (Palantir, Flock etc).

@leoncowle @bagder To be fair, he was talking to LinkedIn users.

@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run There is a common misconception on the left that governments and corporations are somehow opposing forces. They are not. Big government and big business are mutually reinforcing. They love each other. And so long as people don't recognise this, nothing will change. We can't beg governments to save us from evil corporations because governments are in bed with these evil corporations.

@danb@fosstodon.org @Tutanota@mastodon.social Thank you for writing this. Open washing is a real problem and must be called out every time.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange @FritzAdalis@infosec.exchange I must agree with Fritz. We don't like Substack because of all the nazis it is willing to host. We don't like Grok because Elon Musk is also a nazi. I was going to dig up some links, but I see that Mathew has provided numerous alternative citations below.

@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run I don't think the same people who want you to show ID just to access the internet will do anything to protect your privacy. Government is never to be trusted. Whatever needs to be done, we must do it ourselves.

@jbrownesq@mastodon.social @QasimRashid@mastodon.social If you read the article you will find that they are not hacking anyone's phones, and therefore dumb phones will not help.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social The alt text is impeccable.

@eaterofsnacks @nixCraft Which is ironic seeing as Palantir is an extension of the government. It will cease to exist without taxpayer funded government contracts.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Explain that to the people here who think higher taxes will fix everything. The problem is not state capacity, but state priorities.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @TrimTab@mastodon.social Don't forget the Amphora of Great Intelligence! Hopefully we will get to see the Amphora and the parrot in the same episode one day soon. 😅

@aisling @ajroach42 Obama saved Elon Musk from bankruptcy. He would bail these jerks out as well.

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange I would add we that we must resist them consistently, no matter what. Some people only oppose mass surveillance when they don't like the party in power, but go along with it happily when their party controls the government. Such people are not friends of freedom.

@craignicol @annaecook @otfrom Are psychopaths also considered neurodivergent? They seem to be the ones Karp is interested in.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social People see this and still call for higher taxes. Governments already have too much money. They will always spend it on enriching cronies.

@jwz@mastodon.social "Scientists"

@cazabon@mindly.social @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @monkeyninja@10base2.dev Either it will be a very slow connection, or people will find a way to use those LTE radios for free internet at the companies' expense.

@ildiavolorosso@sfba.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Please don't share anything from this website. The man who "writes" this blog works for Palantir. The posts are also probably AI slop.
