Snowden's app sounds quite good for dealing with the evil maids. Also suitable for situations where the threat is someone you know (over-zealous parent, abusive partner, nosy boss, etc) https://social.freedombone.net/url/67621 In conversation from social.freedombone.net permalink -

@artsyhonker Yes, you could have a situation where users want to leave but can't because it would decrease their income. In conversation from social.freedombone.net permalink -

In light of the recent stuff about reciprocation, one possible campaign which could be started in 2018 would be something like "payback the content creators".
The silo companies obviously make massive profits out of the content created by users, but users typically get no financial remuneration for their labor. If a company like Facebook could be pressured into making some payouts then this would eat into their profits and hit Zuckerperson where it hurts.
On the other hand maybe this would be considered a smart move for the silos since it could lock users in even more effectively.In conversation from social.freedombone.net permalink -

Yeah, and their (to paraphrase) "surveillance capitalism is the only way to serve the unfortunate" take is, to use their word, "daft".
They refer to a value exchange, ignoring huge power and pricing informational asymmetries that undermine the fairness in the exchange.

@kaniini I agree with Graeber that we live in a vastly over-credentialized bureacratic society, and that the left typically has no critique of this. In conversation from social.freedombone.net permalink -

observation: somebody who has to constantly remind others of their credentials likely has no useful skills or recent knowledge related to said credentials.
downplay the credentials, it's not the important part of higher education. learning new things and building a social network are the important parts.
