Werbung ist doch gar nicht so schlimm, gelle? Manche Werbe-Firmen werben ja auch für sich selbst. Wie etwa diese hier:

„Senden Sie gezielt Nachrichten, Werbeanzeigen oder Trojaner direkt über den AdTech-Stack, um optimale Ergebnisse zu erzielen.“

Der „AdTech-Stack“. Also die Werbe-Auslieferungs-Schiene. Liefert also auch Pferdchen… oder Asteroiden?

Standortdaten: Tracking-Firma will Milliarden Handys überwachen können

Recherchen von 404 Media zeigen auf, wie sich der weltweite Datenhandel der Werbeindustrie zur Massenüberwachung einsetzen lässt.

»Die umfassende Überwachungsmaschinerie, die für digitale Werbung entwickelt wurde, ermöglicht nun direkt die Massenüberwachung durch den Staat« [1] Zitat von @wchr.

Daher: Ein Tracking- und Werbeblocker gehört auf jedem Smartphone/PC/Netzwerk zur Grundausstattung! [2] 👇

Personalisierte Überwachung statt Werbung: Handydaten ausgewertet und verkauft

Der Fall Patternz gibt neue Einblicke in den staatlich-industriellen Überwachungskomplex. Die Technik kann auch Kinder und Wege einer Zielperson identifizieren.

Metro.co.uk headline "Tesla goes down across Europe leaving some drivers unable to charge cars" metro.co.uk/2023/02/14/tesla-g…

DID YOU KNOW? You can actually design electric cars that can charge their batteries WITHOUT AN APP or any computers of any kind? Kind of like how gasoline pumps used to work? Sure, a battery pack with a microcontroller tends to be more efficient, but it is not strictly necessary. The electric motors of the car must be fully computer controlled, but these computers need not be tied to apps either.

Electric cars all being designed to become useless without an app controlling them is not inherent to electric car technology itself. It is a result of modern day #consumerism (capitalism) where every single business on the face of the Earth gathers data about you, and earns money from selling #ads to you. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. This is what @pluralistic calls #enshitification .

And I can't wait to hear people argue with me about how gasoline-fueled cars are better and more reliable because their engines work just fine without apps or cell phones. Electric cars could be this way too, but due to the way businesses make money nowadays, they do not.

Tesla goes down across Europe leaving some drivers unable to charge cars

The app issues began in North America before spreading to Europe.

I feel like this is more of a "#Facebook problem" than a "me problem"

Stop making posts I would care about look the same as #ads. That's a design decision you can change, fuckers.

A leak from the European Data Protection Board reveals that the #EU's top #privacy regulator is about to overrule the Irish Data Protection Commission and declare #Facebook's business model illegal, banning surveillance-based #ads without explicit consent:

Meta’s New Headset Will Track Your Eyes for Targeted Ads

The social media company gets one step closer to reading your mind.

^{Thomas Germain (Gizmodo)}

And in other unsurprising news about #Apple: Apple is building an #Ads empire, using #Privacy USP to deepen their moat.

I count myself lucky to be part of the #Fediverse. With a couple million other fedizens this decentralized #SocialNetwork has completely different dynamics to it. Where #BigTech is shunned, #ads are a big no-no, and it is people themself who built the place.

It represents a humane technology field lab of sorts. A place where a unique #culture thrives, and that has vibes representative to the #EarlyWeb.
