If it's that bad, then let's make a law that fixes the problem.
You can take this and just welp, plastic spoon is cheaper and all my concurrent are doing it so fuck it.
We want a greener industry? Make the fucking law reflect that otherwise, fuck off.
I get what you're saying. I'm not sure if it's something that is fixable giving that we participate in a public forum. Maybe the federation isn't a great idea after all, or maybe we overthink it. I don't know.
They will know the user but not the person in real life. Even if you know that my user is more conservative on some points or more liberal on others, how can you use that for nefarious action ? Unless you know where I live and who I am, the data is useless.
People need to be aware that sharing your personal information on the internet is never a good idea.
It depends on the instance.
It seems that what you would like is something like 4chan, where the post will get deleted if it's not popular. But even that, there is no way to prevent data harvesting. If it's public, then it is public. There is nothing you can do about it. Encryption wouldn't solve anything either because you want this data to be read by everyone so you cannot really encrypt it.
The fediverse is kind of the same as a public room where anyone can come in and just listen, take note, see who is talking and respond in the same way.
This is the point of social media. If you don't want to participate in it because of privacy, then don't and just lurk (or listen) like most people do.
By definition, if it's on the internet, it's pretty much there forever. People need to be careful on what they share on the public space, in the same way you would when talking to a big crowd. You are not talking with your friends here, you are talking to the world. If you are any privacy, you just cannot have it here. That's impossible.
They have 2 arguments in my opinion.
The first, is that Verizon is a very big corporation. They have more than 99million clients (arcording to the letter). Bell, Telus and Rogers have more than 27million customers. They argue that Verizon will probably be able to crush them just because they have a lot more capital however, this is not a guarantee and probably is false.
The second argument is a legit one. Bell, Telus and Rogers are the one that build the network. They pass the wire, build the telecom tower, etc. If Verizon enter the field, they will just use this network and won't deploy their own. They argue that Verizon should not be able to use their network and that they should build their own. I think that last argument is one that would favor a government owned network in my opinion.
Overall, I don't think Bell, Telus and Rogers have strong arguments, at best, they want the network to be publicly owned (which I agree). They really are trying to say that a US company will eventually be the owner of all Canadian network because Verizon is so much bigger, which is fear mongering if you're ask me.
I 100% agree with you.
It's crazy that our gov is even using Facebook or Twitter for advertising their message. Why not use the fediverse instead ?!
Idéalement, on aurait du transport en commun qui torche mais on a pas trop le choix d'avoir des chars étant donné les choix qui ont été fait depuis les 65 dernières années. Défaire tout ça, ce sera pas facile donc en attendant qu'on change les habitudes et qu'on restructure la vie autour du transport actif et durable, les chars électriques c'est probablement mieux que des chars a gaz.
Haha, I'm using Jerboa and so far so good!
J'comprends pas comment on s'est rendu là...
Est-ce que le zonage est a blâmer? C'est trop compliqué de construire une tour a logement ? Trop chère?
Est-ce que l'influx d'immigration fait en sorte qu'on a a chaques années des gens qui ont absolument besoin d'une place où habiter puisque leur réseau social n'est pas assez fort (pas de grand parent ou d'ami prêts a les héberger par example).
On manque tu de monde pour faire de la construction?
J'comprends rien.
Ça me fait toujours mal au coeur de voir une organisation publique comme ça nous demander se s'abonner à leur page Facebook.
On veut ActivityPub!! Il sert a quoi le ministre des technologies lol
You can't expect someone not ride a car if they need one for survival.
The same is true for the fast-food industry: a lot of people dont cook anymore and just go to McDonald's. Hell, a lot of people don't even make their coffee in the morning anymore.
If we want to get back on track, make a law that reflect this otherwise, fuck off.
