As #Invidious and piped.video are not to be used by third parties (for good and understandable reasons) and for those who can't or don't want to self-host, is there still a #privacy-preserving non-#CORS #YouTube proxy REST API out there somewhere?

Normalize not telling people to not post stuff about their daily life online because companies could analyze that and instead tell companies to sue them into bankruptcy if they try to do just that.

Quoting professor Avishai Ehrlich on Trump's "transfer" endorsement and the reshaping of global order:

[โ€ฆ] While Israelis are drawing comparisons between the condition of returned hostages and the 'Muselmann' in Nazi concentration camps [a derogatory term meaning โ€œMuslimโ€, as in โ€˜barbaricโ€™ or โ€˜fatalisticโ€™], the world views what is happening in Gaza as genocide. Gazans will not leave voluntarily, and Trump will not transfer Gaza's population using the American military, nor through private military companies. Will the Israeli army once again destroy the ruins, bomb the survivors in refugee camps, and exterminate those who are starving? All of them? As Bialik [a poet] said: 'Vengeance like this, for the blood of a child, Satan has yet to devise.' How will we live afterward in the Middle East? How will we live in the world? How will we live with ourselves?

Ehrlich argues that Trump's support for the "transfer" (ethnic cleansing) of Palestinians from #Gaza is part of a broader shift in the global order. He connects this endorsement to the historical Zionist concept of transfer, noting that it has been a central idea since before #Israel's establishment and implemented through various expulsions and dispossessions. He contends that a military victory over #Hamas is impossible, and that the only way to obtain it is to get rid of the population.

Ehrlich is a professor of political sociology, and has extensively researched the Israeli-Arab conflict, arguing that Israeli society cannot be understood separately from the conflict, which he terms a "Permanent War society". He views the conflict through the lens of "world-systems" theory, where global power dynamics shape local conflicts. He also researches the concept of "Low Intensity Ethnic Cleansing," where administrative measures create conditions for mass migration, and the rise of Private Military Companies (PMCs), which erode state accountability and international law.

Okay, maybe, we haven't been clear enough on this:

People who respect #Zuckerberg, #Musk, and #Bezos more than you, don't remove tracking parameters from URLs, they send you.

One of the best lies of the anti-privacy internet is "We do not know how to react if someone's browser signals us 'Do Not Track'"โ€”I mean, could this be more literal?

It's like a bank robber saying "What do you mean: 'Don't take the money'? I don't understand. What do you expect me to do? Work? That's ridiculous! Best I can do is taking your money"

Why specifically #TikTok is a problem?

โ€“ Because it's a Chinese app (#racism) and people like to suppress the fact how problematic big American tech companies are (#corpocracy)
โ€“ Because right-wing propaganda works and middle and left-wing politicians don't want to admit that they just didn't try to be equally present there

How long until this next #enshittification "feature":

Premium users can see your cam in the meeting software, non-premium users can'tโ€”BUT: You can't either and you can't deactivate your cam.

It should be mandatory to display the revenue of tracking and selling personal identifiable data as the cost of a free plan.

Starting 2023 with good news: "#Meta (Facebook and Instagram) prohibited from using personal data for advertisement" and fined for violating #GDPR. Another sign that #DataCapitalism is finally being challenged? or am I too optimistic? noyb.eu/en/breaking-meta-prohi

"Data For Black Lives" made a beautiful and informative website on #DataCapitalism which traces some of it's roots back to slavery and shows the continuities to modern racism as well as various fights against it:

The graphic from the website's header: It shows a black persons head in profile with an orange circle behind it - Parts of the head are stylized with glitches, network visualizations and circuit board designs - Pictures and old photos of other black people come out of the back of the head
