Thurl's Thoughts: March 2022

All the USA technology/ad companies (i.e. Microsoft, Google, Apple, Shitter, Fakebook, etc) are integrated and active participants of the deep-state / permanent bureaucracy of USA imperialism. Naturally, they love the juicy contracts $$$.

We know this thanks to Assange, Snowden, and countless brave truth seekers.

The opponents or victims of capitalism/imperialism are silenced or oppressed by these companies. For example by defunding of Wikileaks (https://wikileaks.org/Banking-Blockade.html) or the Grayzone (https://thegrayzone.com/2023/08/28/gofundme-freezes-grayzone-fundraiser/) or de-platforming/demonetizated of left-wing activists on social media (https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-political-account-ban-us-mid-term-elections/)

in the guise of fighting "mis-information". Although the only "news" the public heard was that they deplatformed far-right types.

We the working-class should boycott such organisations and encourage family, friends and brothers/sisters fighting the blob to do the same.

There are many alternative software/platforms that the working class can control instead of the capitalist overlords.

Here are a number of free/libre open source replacements for proprietary (spy-friendly) software:

Replace video conference apps (Skype, Zoom, MS Teams) with:

Jitsi https://jitsi.org/ (conference software)

Replace messaging apps (e.g. Whatsapp, Telegram, sms )

Jami https://jami.net/ (distributed, no central servers, but flaky, it's improving though)

Signal https://signal.org (proprietary central server, but open-source mobile and desktop apps)

Element https://element.io/ (uses Matrix protocol https://matrix.org/)

Replace social networks (X-twitter, Fakebook, linkdin):

Mastodon

https://joinmastodon.org/

It's (usually) inconvenient to move to free/libre open source software that humanity can control,

but it's worth it to loosen the power of the tech-fascists have over us.
