Molly vs The Machines - looking back this documentary will divide parents into "did see, and protected my children" and "didn't see and fed my children to tech billionaires".

Which one are you?

The UK gov just opened a three month consultation on #socia media
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/landmark-consultation-seeks-views-on-major-measures-to-protect-children-on-social-media-gaming-platforms-and-ai-chatbots

The demand must be:

"Regulate the platforms, not the public"

It's the fault of the designs made by #bigtech not we, the people.

There's an amazing new film out: Molly vs The Machines
Please, if you have children, go and see this film! It shows you that you really cannot trust #Meta (#Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp )

We've listed it in the TV & Films section of our resources page:
https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/resources.html#tvfilms

They are doing a brief run in cinemas RIGHT NOW in the UK, Switzerland and Denmark - see the Watch section of their site. But be quick it's only showing today til wednesday in the UK.

This is great! A Norwegian report, aimed at EU policy makers, explaining why everything on the internet is so shit now. Inspired by the great @pluralistic@mamot.fr theory of #enshittification

RE: @nemo@mas.to

#bigtech loves #authoritarianism - and #gaza is where they practice their playbook 😒

This is shocking. Even for someone like me who researches this stuff all the time. With a first hand account it's worse than you thought...
