Dear @georgetakei you are an amazing rolemodel!

First step to speak up might be to withdraw the influence and the money of us #socialmedia. So maybe some other celebrities could leave #BigTech and come to the #Fediverse an bring all their followers with them.

In Germany me and some guys try to convince some german media an celebrities to make the change.

Maybe you could do much better then us?

More than ever, we need tools for building diverse and resilient communities, away from Big Tech controlling our feeds, and investment companies hoping to get a big payout.

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”

A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.

Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.

And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw
