"Mass surveillance had never stopped a single terrorist attack in more than 10 years of operation, in the United States." They even view your porn habits...
This was from 2016, think how advanced things are now within the 10 years after this.
This post is a privacy problem that is absolutely pervasive in all dystopian authoritarian or authoritarian-trending states to include China, Russia, US, NK, UK and now worrisomely the broader EU
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
Everyone knows that already. This is 10 years old. If we all post things that old because they're "absolutely pervasive" then Lemmy is a history archive or something.
There's plenty of room on the Threadiverse for both new and historical posts. Especially historical posts that are still relevant today.
And all the apparatuses discussed in the video are all not just likely still in operation, but expanded upon AND currently under the control of one of the most authoritarian presidents in US history. It's more relevant now then ever before and worthy of continued discussion

It's interesting that you are not a bot and have some purpose, but I'm blocking you anyway. Crossposts suck.
