soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
"...Altman said he would rework the contract, adding explicit prohibitions on using OpenAI's technology on "commercially acquired" data, which had not been covered in the original terms..."
That's how the new surveillance apparatus works, if you have been paying attention. By dodging actual surveillance and buying commercial data.
This thing with OpenAI gets more interesting. Meanwhile, #claude is still in use on #Iran.

Privacy is power, guard it fiercely, inspire change, and empower others to safeguard their own. #Privacy #Activism #FightForPrivacy
It's amazing all the good pictures that I won't toot because I respect privacy.

"Ring’s Jamie Siminoff has been trying to calm privacy fears since the Super Bowl, but his answers may not help"
"The facial recognition question is where things get more tangled."
#Enshittification of #law is what we see around the world. Following law will soon be very unfashionable.

It used to be that convenience would cost extra money. Now, convenience costs data. Typically the easiest, most convenient products and services will require you to agree to policies and terms that include the ingestion and sharing of your data with whatever and whoever makes the most profit. Money is still the goal, but corporations can typically extract far more out of your data than they can out of you. Especially when you sign it over permanently, at no additional cost to them.
It's exhausting to do research into each and every thing that you do to ensure that you're taking the most private route. In some cases, you may have no choice at all. This is why privacy is a continuous process on a spectrum and not an outcome. There is no such thing as "perfect" privacy. There is only the effort that you choose to (or choose not to) put in to ensure that you remain within control of as much of your data as you possibly can.

A couple days ago I posted a video about the upcoming #identity verification mandates imposed by #BigTech and #governments #worldwide. It is so much worse than many people realize. Masquerading under the euphemistic guise of "age verification," this is not just a "privacy concern" but but full-blown 21st century #technofascist #dystopian #nightmare designed to #identify and track every aspect of #you and your #private #life.
#Apple and #Reddit are rolling out their own versions which require scanning your #government issued ID. Your #PII, #credit info, purchasing history, and other details about you will be stored on corporate servers, including #Palantir.
The things you do in your #private life will be recorded and tracked. Are you #trans, a #SA survivor, or have a #disability, or struggle with #addiction and are a member of related Reddit communities? #News flash: Your #privacy is gone.
