How many people have died as a result of #ICE?

source: icefalltracker.com

That's too many for a supposedly democratic state governed by the rule of #law, and if the U.S. respected international law, this could #legally be interpreted as #genocide.

You can cynically mock the fact that Trump is corrupt, constantly falls asleep, spouts stupid, senile nonsense, and is always getting things mixed up, but in the end, ICE is the big, evil stamp he’s imprinted on the U.S.—and they’re out there killing people with impunity.

The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.

Who are the members of the W3C?

Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…

The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.

Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!

If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

W3C TAG Ethical Web Principles

The web should be a platform that helps people and provides a positive social benefit. As we continue to evolve the web platform, we must therefore consider the consequences of our work.

I love how this “Created by AI, edited by humans” summary of the chat I had with Doc this month starts off mildly enough with “A great chat on FLOSS Weekly regarding alternate funding models to support ethical tech projects…“ and ends a few paragraphs later with “…Balkan provided an urgent call to action to avoid extinction at the hands of unchecked capitalism.”

Well that escalated quickly!

😬 👍

If you're on the fence about Meta or even calling others on here "idiots" for disagreeing with you, may I point out this article and let you ruminate on what it could mean for the fedi.

"As first noted by The New Scientist and Animal New York, Facebook's data scientists manipulated the News Feeds of 689,003 users, removing either all of the positive posts or all of the negative posts to see how it affected their moods."

Facebook Manipulated 689,003 Users' Emotions For Science

Facebook's data scientists manipulated the News Feeds of 689,003 users, filling them with either positive posts or negative posts or posts devoid of sentiment in order to see how it affected their moods.

A homeless man, probably in his late 60s with weathered skin, a white wild goatee with equally wild moustache. He is dressed in a black winter jacket, a black beanie, and his legs are covered in a black blanket while sitting cross-legged.Stuck in his left hand in his lap is a lit cigarette and a crumpled paper bag from a bakery. He's staring at his stretched out right arm where he's holding a piece of bread in his fist. A starling is feeding from that piece of bread while sitting on his sleeve. In front of the man is his begging beaker with another starling sitting on its rim, apparently staring at the bread and the first starling. To the left there are even more starlings, showing interest in the scenery.

Google’s Quest to Digitize Troops’ Tissue Samples
--
#Google had a confidential plan to turn the collection—slivers of skin, #tumor biopsies & slices of organs from #veterans—into an immense archive that could help create tools to aid the diagnosis & treatment of #cancer & other #diseases. And it would seek first, exclusive dibs to do so.

“The chief concern,” Google’s liaison in the #military warned, “is keeping this out of the press.”

Google’s Quest to Digitize Valuable Military Tissue Samples

Staff at the DOD’s Joint Pathology Center have thwarted Google’s efforts to digitize priceless data from veterans’ tissue samples. The tech giant might win anyway.
