In particular, #DataBrokers are frequently abusing the online advertising ecosystem, making use of mobile #advertising identifiers to identify people and using real-time bidding to gather extensive data points on where people go. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/10/the-global-surveillance-free-for-all-in-mobile-ad-data/ cc: @briankrebs
@Murdoc @alexisbushnell @pixelfed#Pixelfed is the equivalent of the original #Instagram. Instagram used to be a platform for photography enthusiasts.
After the takeover by #Facebook, the platform became increasingly commercialized. More and more #advertising moved onto the platform. Algorithms, which were trained on the basis of the posts viewed, determined what was displayed in our timeline.
Pixelfed wants to pick up on the original spirit of Instagram and focus on #photography, but also address modern developments such as #stories in the form of videos. 📸 
Algorithms that analyze user behavior are completely dispensed with. Protecting user #privacy is an important feature of Pixelfed. 🛡️
