Not partnering with trillion-dollar, people-farming, human-rights-eroding, and democracy-destroying surveillance capitalists like Meta should be the lowest of low bars when it comes to organisations that purport to work on ethical technology but, clearly, even that bar is just too fucking high for some.

    @aral@mastodon.ar.al Here’s an interesting example. This is a government agency tasked with defending digital rights in #Belgium:

    https://www.mediateurtelecom.be/article-rapport-annuel-2023/

    As you can see, they don’t merely have a link to their FB account. They actually direct the public to go to #Facebook and #MS #LinkedIn to get /public/ information (that is, info intended for the general public). I am blocked from the publications on that page because I do not have FB or LinkedIn.

    WTF.

    public money → public agency → private #walledgarden.
