@jerry - Hey, would you be able to host Lawrence Lessig here on Infosec. Exchange?

Here's a sample for an upcoming XCorp post reaching out to get double the follower count for him on #web3 vs. #web2 at #XCorp. Feel free to give feedback / changes before I post later:

"Let's help 🆘 @lessig get double the followers on @mastodon vs. X .com for #activism's sake and for the #OpenWeb vs. #SortaOpenWeb / #ClosedWeb at #XCorp

I touched #Hugo yesterday for the first time in years. Picked a theme and started adding some content - that was a breeze (yes I'm up to something).

I wanted to add alternative sources for videos tho but the omnipresent #fontawesome lib may know a lot of brands but is missing icons for the #openweb

https://pfefferle.dev/openwebicons/ has me covered on this and while this really is in need of updates for more #Fediverse icons I have at least a Fediverse icon itself available :D

This need more. Any takers?

So it's official: I just launched my #Patreon page. https://patreon.com/SchalkNeethling #opensource #openweb #access4all

Here is a weird post about #FreeWebHosting #culture that bridges 20+years.

iF I told you 'Hey, you should really look out for those #Tripod & #AngelFire web hosting users due to their #GangStalking #IDS, /s' from 20+yrs ago but just replaced the web hosting providers with #Instagram & #Facebook, what would you of thought about those #FreeWebHosting users today who are complacent with their #FreeWebHosting #culture of #GangStalking being #investigated
🤔

🔮 : 🔎 Certain #ClosedWeb vs. #OpenWeb things would stand out due to Public Scrutiny. Why, aren't you using the #PeriodTrackingApp called #FacebookMessenger currently being used for tracking #Abortion related #crimes? Amazing things started to happen when the #ClosedWeb #SocialMedia place got #OpenWeb'D. Init? 👀👀 🔍

#PrivateFacebookForums made #Public and the list of names involved in #GangStalking is quite effective and prosecutors love using 18 U.S.C. Sec 241 to hand out 5, 10, 15 to Life Sentences for this #GangStalking behavior btw.

For one example of this #GangStalking behavior coupled with illegal #Surveillence by the #Landlord found by the residents of a whole neighborhood, btw:

.... What iF your #Landlord was disclosing when their #Tenants were leaving _their_ residence for coordination of #BreakIns using #SocialMedia to harass the #renter? That would be pretty stupid based on how #ediscovery at #Meta works.

🔎 WOT iF the #Police just looked the other way because this was under $10k of theft? WOT iF #BodyCam footage was correlated with #PoliceReports to uncover this? 💯🔍

#FacebookMessenger is not #private

#FunFact : #MarkZuckerburg lied to you about #privacy

He told you earlier in his career '#DumbFscks shouldn't trust #Meta.'

#MARCOM lied to you about #Privacy & #Advertising networks you call #SocialMedia. Duh.

Not everyone has a #Meta account

Not everyone has a #Facebook

Not everyone has an #Instagram

Not many people even know what a ' #Metaverse ' even IS let alone visit it outside of #Meta per the huge losses at the #VR #AR #MR division of #RealityLabs there in Menlo Park, CA.

#Prosecutors are already using this #OneWeirdMARCOM trick, 'saying everyone is on something ' when in fact, No, very few people ACTUALLY use this. Did you miss the #RICO documentary about #MarkZuckerburg in 2010 or something? 🤔

Now they are just weaponizing certain states laws on #abortion to go after your #Mothers and #Daughters for #abortions in #ListOfStates, btw. Read up on which states those #FreeWebHosting companies that are JUST #Advertising companies with #WebHosting btw, 💯, where YOU ARE THE PRODUCT being SOLD, data wise, since you don't pay them, obvs., except now in places in the EU, where they are looking at #OptingOutOfAdvertising & offering a #PaidWebHosting model, duh, due to #Regulations on certain things #ForcedConsent & otherwise, being completely illegal. #GDPR

What we’re seeing now is the decade-in-the-making consequence of Firefox having squandered all the goodwill it generated by moving to a trendy release cycle that was exciting and rewarding for the developers but absolutely miserable for users.

If you dismiss user concerns, even if you’re a nonprofit with a Great and Noble Mission, someone will come along and build a better mousetrap. If you’re building something just for yourself or people like you, then whatever. But if you want to make something better—the internet, the world, whatever—arrogantly dismissing the concerns of people (“users, PEBKACs”) you consider dumber than you is going to mean that you are the one consigned to irrelevance, not them.

If FF had held onto its market share, we could have had a free and open internet for decades to come. As it is, we now have spyware baked directly into the world’s most popular browser with forthcoming “web environment integrity” designed to lock users out of FOSS operating systems and alternative browsers forever (sure, the goal is simply to prohibit ad-blocking, but to do that thoroughly, the entire software stack needs to be iPhoneized).

Kagi has introduced a new initiative called "Small Web" to highlight non-commercial, individual content on the internet.

The project aims to make this type of content easily discoverable through Kagi's search results, and it features a curated list of nearly 6,000 genuine websites. The entire initiative is open-source and community-driven.

@thisismissem yeah, I’m sorry, I guess we are focused on a different parts of the issue.

I was a social media software engineer, and have have worked at hi5, & MySpace & other social media startups. I’ve hated Facebook and “centralized” social identity from the beginning and fought hard as an engineer for 10+ years against it.

Mastodon is our real fist shot at getting away from the centralization, and it seems like the #OpenWeb has a real shot here, from a technical standpoint.

The degree to which #AI is playing into the hands of publishers and copyright maximalists has yet to be fully appreciated. It will take a few years, legal precedents need to be established, etc, but I guarantee they are looking at all these data-hungry models with dollar signs in their eyes. Not great for the #openweb

I'm not making any judgments about the rightness or wrongness of any actions here, nor am I claiming that any two actions are "in the same category." Again, this is only a question of core values -- what you believe in, stand for, etc. If the #OpenWeb is one of your core values, then building a web app that isn't compatible with #Firefox would be a violation of your core values, so you shouldn't do it, even if someone is paying you.

Dammit my Friday afternoon was seriously buzzkilled with how long it took me to set up a clean #RSS feed for our #Drupal starter kit. It really should not be this difficult, especially given the #OpenWeb manifesto, etc. sigh.

And I wrote a freaking blog post on this subject! (Which I was referencing along the way 😅)

Google has gone wrong long time ago. In pursuit of revenue and dominance, it's been betraying its core values, destroying the best of the early web: freedom, connectivity, and fun.

Mozilla position about the Web Environment Integrity API proposed by Google, https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852#issuecomment-1648820747.

> Mozilla opposes this proposal because it contradicts our principles and vision for the Web.

> Mechanisms that attempt to restrict these choices are harmful to the openness of the Web ecosystem and are not good for users.

Excellent response.

The Open Web Manifesto is a set of principles that guide the development of Drupal, an open source software for building websites. The manifesto aims to promote a web that is accessible, inclusive, secure, transparent, and respectful of users’ privacy and rights. #OpenWeb #Drupal https://www.drupal.org/open-web-manifesto for me in a post for Mastodon.

The upcoming anti #openweb feature from #google, Web Environment Integrity API, made me angry. But it turns out, #apple has already shipped this (Private Access Tokens) in Safari. 🤬

So, I drafted a reverse proposal. Instead of users proving their integrity to websites & apps, let's invert it.

Google proposal gave ridiculous justification ("users want websites to restrict other users") so all I had to do was swap some words. 😉

20 years of #dotcons selling us libertarian individualism to push aside collective support of the "revolutionary" #openweb which is when we last had left tech power.

For this 20 years we have had #geekproblem pushing #closedweb as left tech, this is OBVIOUSLY a disaster we can't keep doing. Yes, let's not get into a prat fight, this is needed as a supplementary.

#Google is still trying to #kill the #OpenWeb.

This includes an analysis of #Apple and their Private Access Token proposal, which has been compared to WEI (quick TL;DR: it's very different).

This may also be of interest to @EU_Commission @EDPS @ombudsman regarding legality of such an approach within the EU.

@edri may care how this is a vector for abusing PII.

Encryption and privacy isn't a goal of the fediverse. It makes it easier, of course to be private on the platform (you don't have to give personal info if you don't want to).But to those privacy advocates, its not a goal of the fediverse, since this is a public platform. Everything can be scraped.

I'll said this before and will continue saying this.

Open Web and internet and the privacy folks can and continue to work something that is better.

#openweb #fediverse #privacy

Have a nice day!

I view myself as an example of somebody that many in the #Fediverse would have probably given up on.

I'm a marketer. I've enjoyed the corporate social media platforms. So you'd look at me year ago, and you'd think: "now, this person would never join #Mastodon, she'd never care about the Fediverse".

But I did join! And I am advocating for the #openweb now.

While #Google is trying to co-opt the #OpenWeb into its very own platform, we are left with two choices:

1. Take back the Web.
2. Abandon the Web for something else.

Now the dichotomy here is actually false: what we should be doing is both, in parallel.

For one thing, the web isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so the longer we keep it functional despite Google, the better.

On the other hand, the trend of the last 1.5 decades is downhill, and it's probably wishful thinking that we can...
