Elon Musk’s X sues watchdog Media Matters for its damning report (www.cnn.com)

Elon Musk’s social media company X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters for America on Monday, saying it manufactured a report to show advertisers’ posts alongside neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts in order to drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X Corp....

Ditch centralized platforms.

TUCKER: “Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by George Soros and others who hate Western civilization designed to prohibit people from saying certain things.” And what they are prohibiting are the truth.

Manipulation can be stop by decentralization.

WireMin, Damus are both good choices.

It used to be a decentralized social app + a chat app. But now you can switch between them.

woshang ,

Yep, decentralized is the key.

woshang OP , (edited )

And we share real background information, very specific details. This could lead them to our friends and colleagues!

But I’m not sure it can be called social media, though, but if you are looking for social media platforms that can avoids data leaks, and don’t ask for your personal info when register, WireMin and Damus are both good choices.

Speaking of which, we should have a version of LinkedIn that is decentralized!

woshang ,

Censorship and Centralized manner killed all the goodness.

woshang ,

They are trying to steal more info from us, thats it

woshang ,

Since when they have the right to manage our personal info? When you click ‘term of service’

woshang OP ,

Yeah. Source code is needed, hard line.

woshang ,

Don’t forget those ads on Twitter, Facebook, instagram, Youtube. They show you the product you viewed before, called re-targeting.

woshang OP ,

And he wants to make it a Everything app, thats terrible

woshang OP ,

‘Freedom of Speech Not Reach’, I was like isn’t the same thing with Shadowbanning? It’s so disgusting that he keeps claiming Twitter is the place for online Freedom of Speech but look at what he did.

woshang ,

WTF?

woshang ,

Monopolistic and some shit

woshang ,

Yeah, they haven’t published the source code yet. I asked the WireMin team, and it seems they are a small team still finalizing the code. What is the App Manager called tho?

Transforming Twitter into an ‘everything’ app is a terrible idea. Why? Take WeChat, for example. Initially a messaging app, it now incorporates a multitude of services including short video clips similar to YouTube, Twitter-like posts (for friends only), a wallet linked to a bank card, and more. One of my Chinese friends said, ‘You won’t find anyone in China who doesn’t use WeChat because it has everything we need!’ It seems that users are quite satisfied with the services WeChat provides.

However, they may be overlooking the drawbacks of such centralized applications:

  • Privacy issues: Identity verification is required; without it, most features are inaccessible.
  • Censorship: I suspect that all communications are stored on a central server, with algorithms designed to detect sensitive content or keywords related to politics, NSFW material, etc. Since it’s linked to your identity, you could easily end up on a blacklist.
  • Account suspension: The developer has the power to suspend accounts at any time due to the centralized nature of the system.
  • Security risks: If someone gains access to your phone or passcode, they could access your money, your contacts’ information, and your personal details, since it’s an ‘everything’ app.
  • Manipulation: Show those news that the country or the company want us to, hide those that are not helpful to them.

These issues and risks are inherent in centralized platforms and social media but consolidating them into an ‘everything’ app only amplifies the risks. My friend mentioned that WeChat hasn’t introduced a subscription fee yet, but Twitter and other services have.

**I mean, an ‘everything’ app might be feasible in a restricted country like China, in the United States? Hell not!**But, Big Tech and governments have the monopolistic power to make these things happen, so we have to find alternatives. The sooner we migrate, the sooner we can reduce the risks that I mentioned above.

The digital world is incredible, but also dangerous. It’s best that we start protecting our own privacy rights, our right to speak freely, and our right to control our own minds and discern the truth.

Never download the Meta Threads.

Google app being flagged as a virus by Huawei phones (stackdiary.com)

I’m seeing a lot of reports from users of Huawei and Honor devices have reported that their phones are incorrectly identifying Google apps as Trojan malware, specifically labeled as TrojanSMS-PA. According to the alert, this “malicious software” has the ability to send SMS messages without user consent.

woshang ,

Unfortunately, it’s true… Monitoring, data collection, implementing ads, and there’s so little security for our accounts. Idk, I’ve been using Google less than ever since ChatGPT came out. And DuckDuckGo.

Backup recovery phrase is a good way 2

No ad is even better, but thats a impossible mission.

True, it depends.

woshang OP ,

Lmao, I guess so.

X plans to collect biometric information, job, education history for safety, security, and identification purposes. (thehackernews.com)

“Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” The revised policy of X(Twitter) is expected to go into effect on September 29, 2023....

woshang ,

For safety, security purpose??? Bullshit

woshang ,

Just for you guys to know, a Saudi teacher got death sentence over tweets, cuz it is linked to his identity, and now Elon even wants more specific data from users? People need to give up on Twitter!

woshang ,

Just for you guys to know, a Saudi teacher got death sentence over tweets, reported form last week.

woshang ,

Then where are your audience?

woshang ,

Big tech can remove whatever they want

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has threatened to sue a group of independent researchers whose research documented an increase in hate speech on the site since it was purchased (apnews.com)

Twitter is threatening legal action against the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that researches hate speech and content moderation on social media platforms....

Driving ur attention to here:

X is a free public service funded largely by advertisers.

X aware that the CCDH gained access to X’s data without Brandwatch’s authorization,

woshang OP ,

Got it, thx for your explaination

woshang OP ,

I think POW alone can’t prevent bots but rather spams. I understand that not having a high enough level of POW may decrease the ability to prevent spam, but let’s consider it from the user’s perspective. If WireMin has a high level of POW, that might increase CPU processing power consumption, which could harm the user’s device from no matter battery or others.

From my perspective, I think they eliminate spams in this way: User/Non-user can’t search for a specific space by name, no matter within the app or on other search engin, they have to obtain the invite-link or have someone in their WireMin contacts invite them to view or join the space.

A tip: we can always create a secret group if we don’t want all users to see the space on the discovery section (as the discovery section only shows public spaces) or to eliminate spams. For the Feed, only the owner of the feed space can post content.

I agree with you on the concern about wasting storage space and bandwidth on other users’ encrypted messages that have nothing to do with you. This is an issue that mutiple ones reported within the WireMin official chat space before.

woshang OP ,

For old people??lmao

woshang OP ,

1000000000% agree on that

woshang OP ,

You should add some words on there

woshang OP ,
