Thread 🧵over de verzameling van data op grote technologie platforms. Je hebt vaak zelf je eigen privacy in de hand gelukkig, vooral als inwoner van de EU kan je mooi een hoop van deze rommel uitzetten. Daarnaast kan je overstappen op alternatieve apps of systemen.

Dat alles gezegd te hebben. De enige manier om volledige privacy te hebben is om je huidige leven te ontvluchten en op een onbewoond eiland te gaan wonen 🫡🏝️. Maar, een beetjeee meer privacy is niet verkeerd toch.

Een toevoeging: Ter vervanging van Google Docs of Microsoft Office op mobiel kan ONLYOFFICE gebruikt worden. Deze app heb ik zelf nog niet gebruikt maar zou allerlei soorten documenten moeten kunnen lezen én bewerken. LibreOffice op mobiel kan alleen documenten lezen momenteel.

Hold #Facebook #accountable for #scams, hoaxes
"As the modern world's primary source of news & info, #socialmedia does have a #responsibility to tell the #truth. #Misinformation is dangerous.. With #freedom comes responsibility. #Meta shld be held accountable for the #toxiccontent spilling off its platforms. It's time for the #government to hold this multi-billion dollar company #criminally & #financially #liable for its damage to the #people of #Thailand"

#Facebook falls down on job
"problem extends beyond #BangkokPost. High-profile figures, legitimate #businesses & ordinary #users hv #suffered #financiallosses & #reputationaldamage as a result of FB's insufficient #measures to prevent such activities.. Despite reporting #violations to FB, e response has been woefully inadequate.. FB shld place a greater emphasis on #ethics alongside biz interests.

Given their penchant for influencer-curated "news" & commentaries, one wonders how many of those dull, insecure, pitiable young #men who gave #Trump their #vote will even read this article & get enlightened? #BreakUpBigTech

> How breaking up #Google could lower your online shopping bill

More competitors would enter the market, leading to lower #ad prices due to competitive pressure. This could reduce the "#GoogleTax" on #ads, potentially lowering costs for #advertisers. Without a monopoly, publishers and #advertisers might pay lower fees to use ad services, as no single entity would dominate and dictate high prices.

It is encouraging to see that Google's monopoly power is being challenged in a second antitrust case within a few weeks. Authorities around the world are increasingly taking action against monopoly power. Breaking up Big Tech would be the right step to limit their power and stop the damage to the public, democracy and consumers.

Is it bad that I enjoy watching people complain about regulators after the regulators finally had to give up trying to persuade companies to behave better and start actually applying consequences? #BreakUpBigTech
