8.5 million people displaced in Sudan

Close to zero international outrage against the perpetrators or their international financiers

No protests in Western cities

No debates on TV

The global lack of interest in African human catastrophes is very real and very painful

"Tell Congress: Instead of giving the President the power to ban entire social media platforms based on their country of origin, our representatives should focus on what matters—protecting our data no matter who is collecting it.

...It’s a massive problem that current US law allows for all the big social media platforms to harvest and monetize our personal data, including TikTok.

Without comprehensive data privacy legislation, this will continue, and this ban won’t solve any real or perceived problems.

User data will still be collected by numerous platforms and sold to data brokers who sell it to the highest bidder—including governments of countries such as China—just as it is now."

say NO to surveillance capitalism

don't fall for it. google's move to block all 3rd party cookies in chrome may technically be better than 3rd party tracking cookies, but chrome's "privacy sandbox" absolutely still tracks you.

only now, like #apple, google wants to add billions more in ad revenue to it's bottom line by collecting, controlling, and monopolizing ALL of your data (behavior, location, digital, financial, medical etc)

the eff (electronic frontier foundation) recommends turning off "privacy sandbox" or better switching browsers.

i strongly recommend switching to a hardened browser with tracking protection like mullvad or librewolf with #ublockorigin. the more people that use these hardened browsers, the better your browser's unique fingerprint can blend in with the crowd
