DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don’t come from judges.

Voluntarily?! Your data is not safe. F these companies.
Rather than advocating for something against the rules, I’d like to instead advocate for high quality woodworking, blacksmith, and assembly skills. We’re going to need many large, wooden assemblies with very sharp and very heavy metal components, powered by gravity, built and displayed prominently very soon, and they need to be functional.
This is precisely the reason why I ditched reddit over lemmy
Same. Total newb.
The Tech Bros bend the knee. They don’t care about connecting people, or making information accessible. They only care about exploiting you and selling you. So of course there’d be no fight when the government asks for dissenters.
I hope people start firebombing data centers.
I’m going to be a bit contrarian here because there is a distinction that’s important.
If they cared about selling you, they’d have a similar incentive to keep your information private and only sell it to the government (which they can legally do).
They are bending a knee because they want to stay in Trump’s good side. They are literally becoming collaborators.
Remember that reddit fought against the MPAA and RIAA to not give them information about pirate users.
These pedophiles think they can intimidate us
After getting banned for criticizing gun control in the face of rising fascism I knew it was time to be done with reddit for good. That’s a site for bootlickers by bootlickers.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
I’m so tired of these companies using their market shares to sell their users out without the fear of boycott, reprisal or significant impact on their business.
I’ve been really enjoying finding alternatives and the feeling of control over my own life I gain every time I switch to one. Then whenever these big guys betray their user base I just laugh.
Digg and MySpace shows what can happen when there is a mass exodus.
Things like this happen slowly then suddenly all at once
Thoughts on the new digg? Needs more people
There were popular alternatives to those at the time that ended up becoming even bigger than them. For some reason the popular ones these days aren’t getting swiftly adopted. I think a lot of people might be getting tired of switching platforms all the time.
I think the fact all these companies were named at once is to overwhelm any effort to protest. People might be up for boycotting one company but probably not all of them listed so they end up boycotting none.
To those people, I’d say boycotting some of them is better than none at all.
Reddit I gave up clicking links to. like I stopped watching Fox News and clicking their links 12 years ago.
Same. Every bit helps and it compounds.
They are all fascist in how they operate their sites, no surprise they willingly work with their political twins.
