Angry Trump Kills “Woke” Program—and Accidentally Screws MAGA Voters
It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.The New Republic
I'm already getting very excited for tonight! For those that don't know, I'm going to be talking with @pluralistic , Cory Doctorow, tonight on Fireside Fedi! If anyone has any questions feel free to message me here.
If you'd like to watch LIVE, please come and join us! If you don't know Cory, you should, but you probably know the term "enshitification" which Cory termed. As well as having many many other accolades.
Please share this out, not for my own fame, but I see these opportunities as ways to introduce new folks to the Fediverse and get excitement about it.
Everyone have a wonderful day!

#ElonMusk’s Most Alarming #Power Grab
Can anyone stop his #space-based #internet?

When #Musk’s engineers bundled a batch of prototype #satellites into a rocket’s nose cone 6yrs ago, there were <2k functional satellites in Earth’s #orbit. Many more would soon be on the way: All through the pandemic, & the years since, Musk’s company, #SpaceX, kept launching them. >7k of his satellites now surround #Earth like a cloud of gnats.

#TakeItDown Act has passed the #House 409-2 giving #Trump & the #FTC power to #censor the #internet.
The bill seems good at first glance. It requires online platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery aka“revenge porn.”
However, it will also enable the FTC to demand #content be removed from websites.
🚨In fact, Trump said he will use the bill ON HIS OWN BEHALF, presumably to remove criticism of him from the web.

Among other things, the company collects data about when you start a #game, for how long you play it and when you close it. Even after the complainant explicitly asked why he is forced to be #online, Ubisoft failed to disclose why this is going on. Under Article 6(1) #GDPR, there seems to be no valid legal basis to randomly collect such user data.
