är sponsrade av Facebook och Instagram? Hur ska man annars tolka denna enormt framträdande placering och överdimensionerade logotyper?

Hoppas de får bra betalt, även om jag som socialdemokrat är skeptisk till att låta amerikanska multimiljardärer marknadsföra sina destruktiva tjänster genom att åka snålskjuts på offentliga avsändares trovärdighet.

Ceterum censeo: YouTube is not a public utility. Don't line the billionaires pockets by sharing links and driving traffic.

YouTube is NOT a public utility or an altruistic enterprise.
Using YouTube generates money for it's billionaire owners. Money that is then used for lobbying and political influence.

...and he basically invented a new way for a political campaign to shitpost its way to the White House, targeting voters with misinformation, inflammatory posts, and fundraising messages. Boz, who led the ads team describes it as the "single best digital ad campaign I've ever seen from any advertisers. Period""

"Facebooks embedded staff in Trump's campaign team in San Antonio for months, alongside Trump campaign programmers, ad copywriters, media buyers, network engineers, and data sceintists. A Trump operative named Brad Pascale ran the operation together with the embedded Facebook staff...

"Over the course of the ten-hour flight to Lima, Elliot patiently explains to Mark all the ways that Facebook basically handed the election to Donald Trump. It's pretty fucking convincing and pretty fucking concerning."

When Hitler accepted the Chancellorship in January 1933, he was one of only three Nazis in a Cabinet of eleven. Von Papen had assured Hindenburg that he could keep Hitler under control.

Alarmed by the obvious failure of democracy, many middle-class people decided that the country needed a strong government. Under Brüning they were in chaos. President Hindenburg dismissed Brüning in 1932. Franz von Papen became Chancellor.

We had a good run after 1945 when the horrors of war, the death of millions and total destruction were present in the minds of everyone. We tried to create a society based on ideals of social equality and human dignity to never again wind up where we were. But memories fade and the elites no longer feel a sense of responsibility and/or dread.

Someone should write a manual "How to dissemble democracy".

1. Have the established political parties emulate the far right and invite them into government. (Ask von Papen about that).

2 Create a class of super wealthy oligarchs.

3. Leave the public sphere in the hands of foreign owned oligarch media

But they wouldn't "spy" on Swedish government agencies and political parties would they?

Nooooooo. Of course not. Don't be preposterous!

Yes, it's true. "US to fund free speech initiatives in Europe, Trump official says" (which means AfD, Reform UK, Sverigedemokraterna).

And all of public administration and political parties are run on Microsoft and Google in Sweden. Why? "Because there are no alternatives" and "The market has spoken". So it's fully accessible to US intelligence when they're tasked with aiding the far right.

Interesting read. #fb #bookstodon

@elena I ran to this when I set up my new VPS on @upcloud from Finland.

Does anyone know if #yunohost requires port 25 to be open for it to work? Like if you would install Friendica or GoToSocial and want admin mails/notifications to be sent from the system?

@elena Do you know?

If you're comfortable with French I can recommend this reading of the Magnifica Humanitas that #pontifex published a short while ago. It discusses man's relationship to digital technology and AI

I updated the URL and the poster to use #plus1 for hashtag instead of #plusOne.

Trying to think of additional ways of getting this message across. i was shocked to find out last week the #pontifex #papaleoXIV is using X.com 😱, yet he is not in the Fediverse 😢 . It was really very sad to learn that. I wish one could e-mail the vatican and tell them about the plus1 principle.

Här har man gått ett helt liv och trott att det heter ärtor.
