Dezentrale Netze wie das Fediverse sind die natürliche Form des Internets, deren Brücken aufgrund der Geschäftsmodelle der heute etablierten sozialen Netzwerke bewusst gekappt wurden. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, schließen die Benutzer ein und widersprechen grundsätzlich der ursprünglichen Vision des Internets:

"There is the idea that society can run without a hierarchical bureaucratic government being involved at every step, if only we can hit on the right set of rules for peer-peer interaction. So where design of the Internet and the Web is a search for set of rules which will allow computers to work together in harmony, so our spiritual and social quest is for a set of rules which allow people to work together in harmony." von Tim Berners-Lee (w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/UU.h)

Pour celles et ceux qui ont du mal à arrêter #Instagram, je voudrais vous faire un petit retour d'expérience qui vous motivera à essayer j'espère.

J'ai arrêté de consulter (et de poster donc) Instagram en janvier. J'étais en vacances et j'avais décidé de me faire 10 jours de désintox. Résultat, j'ai jamais repris.

Mais il y a quand même un truc qui me manquait : tous ces comptes militants que je suivais et dont je n'avais plus aucune nouvelle. 👇

#Meta and #Yandex are de-anonymizing #Android users’ web browsing identifiers

The bypass—which Yandex began in 2017 and Meta started last September—allows the companies to pass cookies or other identifiers from #Firefox and #Chromium based browsers to native Android apps for #Facebook, #Instagram, and various Yandex apps. The companies can then tie that vast browsing history to the account holder logged into the app.

Ars Technica · Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiersBy Dan Goodin

The #meta apps #facebook and #instagram are malware, circumventing your phones security system to exfiltrate websites you visit, even in incognito mode and against app permissions.

If you have these apps, I suggest you let this warning be your last post before saying goodbye by requesting removal of your account data.

" 'Meta had vanaf september inzage in surfgedrag van Android-gebruikers' "

--> "Onderzoekers van onder meer de Radboud Universiteit ontdekten dat Meta het surfgedrag van gebruikers in de gaten kon houden op websites die Meta Pixel hebben. Dat kon doordat Android-apps die internettoegang hebben een lokale webserver kunnen starten en op de achtergrond laten draaien."
