Facebook and Google’s pervasive surveillance poses an unprecedented danger to human rights

Surveillance Giants lays out how the surveillance-based business model of Facebook and Google is inherently incompatible with the right to privacy and poses a systemic threat to a range of other rights including freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of thought, and the right to equality and non-discrimination.

In last 4 month we tried hard to introduce @Mastodon in Iran.
Due to internet blockage and entering the National Intranet in Iran, some people tried to start a instance within the country to connect people.

I hope they be successful

Great news everyone. Thanks to previously mentioned infrastructure upgrades #peertube v2 update is now rolling out to hosted instances.

Please let me know if you experience any issues.

If you'd like to read more about changes in v2, you can read the following blog post: https://framablog.org/2019/11/12/peertube-has-worked-twice-as-hard-to-free-your-videos-from-youtube/ or something more technical: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Please note: Due to technical changes made by Peertube v2 there will be some federation incompatibilities with forwarded activities sent by PeerTube instances < v2.0.0, this is due to removal of some legacy code.

mastodon.social is updated with the bookmark feature developed by @Thib.

I can already see that the action bar now looks too crowded so the bookmark function will maybe move to the dropdown menu soon.

@fossasap @ryangorley well thought out and accurate take on "professionals" resistance to FOSS.... i often find in my own interactions that people wear proprietary software like fashion or branding. It somehow legitimizes their work. When did anyone judge a painting on what brand of brushes were used?!
