#lewisspears makes a great point about worrying new #powers in #australia allowing the #police to take over your #socialmedia #accounts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE2hSFkt.. The most worrying thing is that *any* #crime could #warrant the use of these powers. This allows them to #add or #remove whatever they like. What really concerns me is that Australia has been used as a testing ground for quite some time, we can likely expect this crap in the #uk and #nz for example in the coming years.
With regards to blocking #socialmedia from arbitrarily #censoring content, I fully support #brazil 's #bolsonaro https://www.lotuseaters.com/bolsonaro-ac.. Sure, there will be #disinformation - but *it's not the #government 's job to stop it!*
This is getting towards the #idea I had for #deadsocial - but still not quite there: https://www.evalrss.com/ People are getting close to #rss based #socialmedia though, won't be too long now!
Yeah, #covid has changed everything, including the life of #students https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-su.. Apparently it is now appropriate to monitor your #socialmedia - #scan your room and now have you wear #iot #sensors - insanity!
