Fair. Or just fill it in with full answers - even better!
Either way we need to let them know that there is opposition to a ban. The questions are worded to herd you towards saying yes to age verification for all 🤬
I'm confused as to why you cannot have a url, AND upload an image that is clickable (in other words to use as the thumbnail, but if you don't have that stored somewhere as a url)
The point about games is a good one. Free games apps are terrible for collecting location data. Do you (or anyone here) know of a place/collection of open source games? They don't have to be free (£$ money free) but they would have to be open source to know they're not data harvesters.
I would assume that Anthropic's stance is mostly performative. But while people are in boycotting mood they could solve the surveillance problem by quitting ALL big tech products. Here’s our site that lists all the ethical, non-spyware alternatives:
I love the explanation of how software is written, read and whether we can 'see into it' and verify there's no nasty stuff going on.
For that reason of course we do try to recommend FOSS whereever possible. However, we're not totally against proprietary software, so long as the build in privacy-by-design features e.g. E2EE.
We actually want to build sofware ourselves, and are looking into how to build it open source. Any advice welcome!
Our main aim is getting large numbers of people away from the main big tech companies. We're less bothered about precisely which alternatives they choose, just that they do make a move.
For the comments about Vivaldi - their anti-surveillance and anti-AI stance, coupled with their great functionality, makes them a perfect off-ramp from big tech browsers. We're aware that there are hardened browsers with even more privacy, but they can be restrictive - certain sites not opening - and right there you've lost a bunch of people who aren't ready for that kind of trade off (yet).
Our focus is trying to convince those who really don't care about privacy, that there is a larger problem created by ad surveillance. It's a tough sell. Probably I'm too far gone to explain at that level. All suggestions welcome!
🤦🏼♂️
70% of Australian children get around the ban. And besides: https://blog.rebeltechalliance.org/sm-ban-bad-idea/

thank you for this- we included that front ends link on the page 😁

thank you! I like that you suggested irl activities like https://upperstory.com/en/turingtumble/

I'm not sure - you'd have to ask the organisers 😀
It's a FREE event!
We (Rebel Tech Alliance) will be there too! https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/
We'll going through alternatives that people can switch to.
Don't stop there! Replace all Big Tech apps:

Thank you! Any ideas you have about how we can get the word out are very welcome....

Thank you! Mystery solved... Is there another container that couples Transmission and Wireguard?
I've been using that same container, with Mullvad as the VPN. Fine for many months, then recently Transmission won't surface on localhost... 🤷♂️
Seems to be something to do with Mullvad (from the logs) but I don't understand what. I didn't change anything 😂
Indeed. It's for sharing with your less advanced friends and family 😁
Thank you!

A Fairphone with e/OS/ on it.
I use them, and recommend them. Full E2EE is my number one requirement - after learning what can be done with just metadata.
Lack of 3rd party clients doesn't bother me.
That they allow integration with your phone's contacts app is a big win - Proton don't allow that.

That's a good idea. Fancy helping me word that definition?
