Em @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with: "I don't care, I use Linux" Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too? This is a systemic problem. You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well. #Privacy #Microsoft 24 nov. 2024, 21:56 2,1K boosts 2,1K favoris

Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr @RickiTarr@beige.party My Experience With Algorithm Extremism: So, most of us have been through this. I needed to buy a rug, so, I searched a few websites, and purchased what I needed. Now over a week later, I'm still getting ads for rugs. You bought a rug, DON'T YOU WANT A DOZEN MORE! This is mostly an annoyance, an Algorithm missing it's mark, but what if this also applied to ideas? Let me tell you another story: If you follow me, you probably already know I'm a pretty ardent feminist. Occasionally, I will peruse other websites, and social media (not X, ffs get off X) that use Algorithms. I had liked a few feminist posts, so the Algorithm said she likes these let's give her more, which was nice, at first. I started noticing they were getting more extreme, less women deserve equality, and moving more into F--- all men, I hope they die, territory. Not a fan of that, but I figured it's a one off no big deal. Within a few days it had moved into full TERF territory. It took several weeks of me aggressively blocking and reporting every post I saw for it to disappear from my Timeline. Now imagine if you're a young man who searches or asks on social media, Why won't women date me?, think about how quickly they could get pulled into a world of lies and extremism. Imagine asking any question about a group of marginalized people. This is why places like Mastodon will become more and more essential, and why teaching children critical thinking skills is paramount.

jason Follow @singingpigs.online my wife googled "united airlines customer service" the other day and the Al summary seemed legit enough so she called the number that it listed. she got like 30 seconds into the call before they were asking for her BANK INFO. a scammer had gotten their number prominent enough that the Al grabbed it.
