Miguel Afonso CaetanoSocial Media Apps: LoL! WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn - they're all in the same surveillance/data extracting business. At least, when you use their services through a web browser, you're in control. You can install PrivacyBadger and uBlock Origin. But with a smartphone app? You're being continuously exploited. "Plaintiffs in a class-action case proved by a preponderance of evidence that Meta intentionally eavesdropped on and/or recorded conversations using an electronic device, said a verdict form released yesterday in US District Court for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs also proved that they had a reasonable expectation of privacy and that Meta did not have consent from all parties to eavesdrop on and/or record the conversations, the jury found.The lawsuit was filed in 2021 against Flo Health, maker of an app for tracking periods, ovulation, and pregnancy. Facebook owner Meta, Google, and app analytics company Flurry were added as defendants later. The plaintiffs settled with Flo Health, Google, and Flurry before the trial, leaving Meta as the only remaining defendant.The plaintiffs' trial brief said that "Flo allowed Google and Meta to eavesdrop on users' private in-app communications" between November 2016 and February 2019. Flo app users had to complete an onboarding survey requiring them "to select a 'goal' indicating whether they are pregnant, want to be pregnant, or want to track their period, as well as input other information about their pregnancy or menstrual cycle," the brief said."<a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/jury-finds-meta-broke-wiretap-law-by-collecting-data-from-period-tracker-app/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/jury-finds-meta-broke-wiretap-law-by-collecting-data-from-period-tracker-app/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Flo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Flo</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataProtection</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Surveillance</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataExtraction</a>

Anstatt eines Aufmerksamkeit und Daten einsaugenden kapitalistischen Strudels, ist das Fediverse ein tatsächliches soziales Netzwerk, welches aus einer Vielzahl dezentraler, autonomer, föderierter Server (sog. Instanzen) besteht. Im Fediverse kontrollieren wir die Infrastruktur und moderieren selbst unsere Räume. Anstatt durch süchtig-machende Algorithmen geleitet zu werden, können wir uns hier auf Basis unserer (eigenen) Neigungen, Wünsche und Bedürfnisse versammeln und Dinge miteinander teilen. Viele Anarchist:innen, die versuchen den Fallen der großen kommerziellen Social Media Plattformen aus dem Weg zu gehen, sind bereits hier und teilen ihre Projekte, Kunst und Ideen.
