“Facebook has about 7,500 moderators for 2 billion users. This works out to roughly 1 moderator per 260,000 users.
Compared to that, a small Mastodon instance like toot.cafe has about 450 active users and one moderator, which is better than Facebook’s ratio by a factor of 500. “

A Facebook security flaw allowed kids to be invited to Messenger chats with unauthorized users.
@SenMarkey & @SenBlumenthal ask "how long FB knew, how long it existed, if parents have been notified & what measures FB will take to prevent similar issues." https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/06/facebook-childrens-privacy-safety-concerns/

Thanks @SadiqKhan for demanding answers from @ArgentLLP about their use of #facialrecognition in #kingscross. It might be private land but it’s still public space. This kind of surveillance of the public is unacceptable in London or anywhere else. https://twitter.com/privacyint/status/1161677914489917440/photo/1
The #NextGenerationInternet should not be built by the usual suspects/grant hunters. @qyliss explains how Spectrum, an secure-by-design operating system, grew from dream to reality through the #FOSS world & @NGIZero's R&D call -> https://alyssa.is/leaving-freeagent/ @NGI4eu
"When I had a call with NLnet recently, I was told “you work for the internet now”. And that evoked the most powerful feeling of purpose and drive I’ve ever felt in my life." @NGIZero is proud to fund @qyliss working on the #security-through compartmentalization-based operating system Spectrum -> https://alyssa.is/leaving-freeagent/

I have some INCREDIBLY exciting news. I’m going to be working full time on free software!
Specifically, I have been awarded an EU grant to work on https://spectrum-os.org, a security-through-compartmentalization-based operating system in the style of Qubes, powered and managed by Nix.

If you use Firefox or Chrome, we developed an easy way you can help people bypass censorship.
Our Snowflake extension turns your browser into a proxy that connects Tor users in censored regions to the Tor network. https://snowflake.torproject.org/
#Search shouldn't be a gatekeeper, black box or #privacy nightmare. If the internet is the equivalent of a global brain, we need creativity & diversity to unlock it. Learn how the #NextGenerationInternet will ensure transparent search & discovery = https://nlnet.nl/discovery/ @NGI4eu
Internet shutdowns "have the effect of isolating people, shrouding them in darkness and unduly restricting their rights to freedom of expression, information, association and assembly" states @APC about the #Kashmir situation -> https://www.apc.org/en/node/35631 A #NextGenerationInternet should not be a tool for political oppression, but for user empowerment -> https://www.ngi.eu/news/2019/06/17/nlnet-grants-first-next-generation-internet-projects/
