Murena - choose freedom!

Don’t let Big Tech & AI fool you in the era of technofascism.

Mark Coeckelbergh (Univ. of Vienna) warns:
🔸Algorithms showing only half of reality vs. overt censorship
🔸Pleasure & distraction on social platforms vs. fear

The mix of AI, Big Tech capitalism & authoritarianism fuels technofascism.

The longer you scroll, the more depressed you become. Not here. With Meta.

A huge thanks to @somo@mastodon.ngo for this excellent series of long reads — so engaging that “long” suddenly feels very short.

Keep educating yourself by reading “The power to…”

💰 Google user? You might be entitled to a little extra money. 👇

Google reportedly collected smartphone data without permission - even with location off, the screen locked, and no apps in use.

According to Reuters, users could receive up to $100 in a settlement.

💡 Tracking reinforces discrimination and social bias.

Two people. Same search. Completely different results.

Prices, articles, job offers - all shaped by tracking.

Hyper-personalization isn’t neutral. It can exclude people without them ever noticing.

Feeling worse the longer you scroll?

That’s not a coincidence.

💡 Tracking-powered algorithms amplify insecurity and extreme content to keep you engaged.

You are not the problem - it’s the algorithms.

Choose tech without tracking.

#Privacy #DataPrivacyWeek

💡 Every day during Data Privacy Week, we’ll share a reason why data tracking can be harmful to you.

Reason #2: It increases individual privacy risks

👁️ There may already exist a consumer profile about you... what you buy, what you believe, how fast you type, and where you are.

And of course, it may include your location and other sensitive information.
This data is sold to third parties. The more who have it, the higher the risk of leaks.

Tracking can be harmful. Protect your privacy.

💡 Every day during Data Privacy Week, we’ll share a reason why data tracking can be harmful to you.

It keeps you engaged by showing you what you already believe — reinforcing extreme views.

Over time, algorithms push users toward more extreme content, shaping how we live and vote.

Don’t end up in a filter bubble. Freedom starts with #privacy.

🧘 Want to feel better? Here’s why you should quit Meta.👇

Studies show that deactivating Facebook lessens depression, anxiety and loneliness.

Meta’s own internal research project, known as “Project Mercury”, found that stepping away from Facebook had positive effects on users’ mental health.

The project was shut down after these results.

Instead of addressing the findings, Meta chose to look away and protect the filter bubble.
