If everyone was refusing to provide official IDs to verify their identity and age on social platforms, and just let their account rot there unused instead, we would soon see platforms themselves starting to advocate against these invasive laws to recover their users. Just saying. They need you more than you need them. Stop complying with invasive requests. #Privacy #AgeVerification

If you let AI feed you all the answers, then you are letting whomever control this AI decides of everything you learn (or never learn). That people somehow still trust these tools, and what this means for the future of democracy, frightens me to my core. #NoAI #Democracy #NoToOligarchy
Friendly reminder that it's not because something is "legal" that it is *ethical*. And vice versa. Please learn the difference. This is increasingly important.
I see so many people (mostly men, this isn't random) talking about how Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are "incredible" or "still not ready" yet, I don't see anyone calling it what it is: Voyeurism. This technology will increase voyeurism and stalking aggressions in unacceptable ways. These glasses are a voyeur's dream weapon. Also a doxxer's and stalker's dream weapon. Why are our laws and cultures not protecting us against this? #Privacy #Safety #Meta #RayBan #Consent
If you even just think about buying Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses that record everyone around you without consent, I will judge you as a creep, and avoid and report you like I do with other creeps. Don't. Record. People. Without. Consent. #Privacy #Consent #Meta #RayBan

In this age of disinformation and AI slop, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish what information is true or not online. The lack of tone, diversity of cultures, and the fact that many people using social media in English aren't native speakers make it all harder to detect irony and serious-sounding jokes online. Please be careful and make sure your jokes don't end up feeding the disinformation machine, even if you feel it's obvious to you. In doubt, at least use the popular markers "/s" (sarcastic) or "/j" (joke) or parentheses at the end to make this clearer. Thank you 🙏💚 #Disinformation #Misinformation

Canada Post, hospitals, and schools aren't (or shouldn't be) private businesses, they are public services. They don't need to make profits or break even, and they should be supported by public funding. However, oil, gas, and AI companies *are* private for-profit businesses. They shouldn't receive any public funding. Stop this madness. #CanPoli #CanadaPost
